The rapid adoption of Microsoft® SharePoint underscores the escalating organizational need to share information, collaborate on content creation and work together to improve user productivity and bottom-line business benefits.

To that end, CommVault's new Application Data Management (ADM) bundle, which is based on award-winning CommVault® Simpana® software and is available in a flexible capacity licensing model, is making it easier for both channel partners and customers to cost-effectively address the challenges of managing massive amounts of SharePoint data while streamlining migrations to SharePoint 2010.

Optimizing SharePoint Environments with Award-winning Simpana Software

• CommVault's award-wining Simpana software platform and advanced functionality, including SnapProtect technology, eliminates complex scripting of snapshots with backup tools to deliver application awareness across all tiers of storage.
• Moreover, integrated, global data deduplication removes redundant data to increase network efficiency and reduce storage infrastructure costs.
• With CommVault's archive capabilities, including new Simpana software External Blob Storage (EBS) provider, it no longer matters where SharePoint documents reside as they can be recovered quickly and transparently. Fully automated archive policies drive the movement of stale, infrequently accessed data to secondary, less expensive storage tiers, which is a major consideration for customers with growing SharePoint databases and systems.
• CommVault's Application Data Management bundle also is ideally suited for Microsoft Exchange, SQL, Hyper-V, Azure    and VMware environments. Furthermore, the company's flexible capacity licensing model lets customers change scope, scale and protection methods for little additional cost or management overhead.
• Additionally, CommVault has further simplified archive data recall, enabling documents to be retrieved quickly in one step for an improved user experience. Migrations to SharePoint 2010 are simplified, thanks to "out-of-place recovery," which enables users to easily use separate, independent backup copies for migrating SharePoint documents to the latest version.
