CommVault Teams with Index Engines to Deliver Unrivaled Information Access for eDiscovery

High Speed, Low Cost Process for Migrating Legacy Data to CommVault Simpana Software for Support of eDiscovery Needs

Holmdel, NJ — April 22, 2008 — CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Index Engines, a leader in enterprise discovery solutions, to assist customers in their eDiscovery efforts. Automating the eDiscovery process of migrating data from expensive and complex legacy tape systems and switch to a more cost effective information management solution built on CommVault® Simpana® software is a significant benefit for customers.

“Historically customers believed they were tied to their legacy backup systems for the recovery of older information stored on tape; maintaining costly and outdated servers was thought to be the only way of recovering this older data,” said David West, CommVault’s vice president of marketing and business development. “This partnership is about alleviating the cost and burden associated with accessing data from tapes, giving customers options and the confidence to make the switch to more efficient technology.”

Index Engines unique discovery platform is able to natively extract files and email from legacy tape backups, rendering legacy storage systems unnecessary.  Utilizing Index Engines’ platform, data on backup tapes can be cataloged, indexed, culled, deduped and searched. Once the information is identified and extracted from tape, it can then be processed using CommVault Simpana software for long term storage and management. Most companies have volumes of data stored on proprietary legacy tape formats. The CommVault and Index Engines partnership opens doors to customers concerned about legacy data recovery, but looking for more manageable and reliable alternatives to their antiquated systems.  

By easing access to tape data this partnership allows the option of transitioning from legacy tape storage infrastructure to the Simpana platform. CommVault and Index Engines are able to assist companies in reducing tape storage cost and risks related to legacy tape backups through the consolidation of stored data.  This can lead to a dramatic reduction in the costs associated with managing and accessing backup data on tape.
