CommVault has entered into a partnership with Informatica, a data integration
provider, to deliver a fully integrated archiving solution. It would extend
support to databases and applications, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle,
DB2, SAP, PeopleSoft, Siebel and other custom or legacy applications. This new
technology partnership will enable easy and efficient archiving of large
databases from mission-critical business applications, such as CRM and ERP
systems, to better streamline eDiscovery and improve database space management.
As a result, Simpana software would help reduce the size of large databases
to achieve a significant improvement in application performance. It will also
minimize the time and costs associated with performing different tasks,
including backup, recovery, replication and routine application upgrades.
For eDiscovery and the search of structured data, the software can also
simplify the identification, collection and processing of evidence from
structured data sources.
"The combination of CommVault and Informatica technology will help global
organizations gain greater control over data growth by ensuring robust database
archiving as well as seamless access to archived data," said Adam Wilson,
GM-Information Lifecycle Management, Informatica. "Together, we can improve
application performance, support regulatory compliance and retire legacy
applications safely and cost-effectively. Together, our two companies can help
organizations achieve bottomline business benefits such as saving money and
resources by more effectively managing their data," he added.
"Our partnership with Informatica further extends CommVault's global storage
management strategies to ensure that database archiving can be managed as easily
as file, and email archiving using automated policies," said Simon Taylor,
Senior Directorm-Information Access Management, CommVault. He further added, "As
a result, CommVault provides archiving capabilities while leveraging a single
platform for additional cost savings, improved information access and
operational efficiencies."
