CommVault Addresses Backup, Recovery and Archive Convergence with Simpana® OnePass™ Functionality

  • In addition to its industry-leading backup, recovery and archive functionality, CommVault is uniquely positioned to address the ongoing convergence of these crucial areas with Simpana OnePass technology. An industry first, this capability combines backup, archive, analytics and deduplication into a single process designed to reduce combined operations time by more than 50 percent compared to traditional methods.
  • With Simpana OnePass, information from a single data collection is copied, indexed and stored in Simpana ContentStore -- an intelligent, virtual repository that provides an efficient and scalable foundation for eDiscovery, data mining and more.
  • In addition, data analytics and reporting can be performed from the index to help classify data and implement archive policies for data tiering to lower-cost media, thereby further reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
  • According to a recent Lab Review conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group[3], OnePass "appreciably reduced overall data protection jobs, as well as reduced impact to the production of servers due to [its] consolidated network and disk operations." ESG states that the result of OnePass is "so intuitive that it should be the measure by which other unified products aspire...where functionality/technologies become folded into a single agent talking to a unified back end."
