CommVault Announces Certification of Galaxy Data and Storage Management Software With BROCADE SilkWorm Switches.Business/Technology Editors OCEANPORT, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2000 -- CommVault Galaxy Software Provides LAN free Backup Refers to backing up data without transferring it across the LAN or WAN and slowing down the network. The simplest LAN free architecture is a server or a NAS storage device with backup storage (tapes, MO, CD, etc.) directly attached. of Heterogeneous Storage Using BROCADE SilkWorm silkworm, name for the larva of various species of moths, indigenous to Asia and Africa but now domesticated and raised for silk production throughout most of the temperate zone. The culture of silkworms is called sericulture. Switches-- CommVault Systems CommVault Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CVLT) is a United States based company specializing in data and storage management software. Created in 1988 as a development group in AT&T's Bell Labs, the group produced AT&T's in-house backup software, Automatic Backup, Archive and Recovery , Inc(R), a provider of industry-leading data and storage management software, announced today that CommVault has certified the CommVault(R) Galaxy(TM) software suite with the BROCADE SilkWorm(R) Fibre Channel fabric A Fibre Channel fabric (or Fibre Channel switched fabric, FC-SW) is a switched fabric of Fibre Channel devices enabled by a Fibre Channel switch. Fabrics are normally subdivided by Fibre Channel zoning. Each fabric has a name server and provides other services. family of switches. By offering users a logical view of data stored in Storage Area Networks (SANs) connected by BROCADE switches, the Galaxy user interface offers much easier access to application data stored in SANs reducing storage management cost and risk associated with deploying advanced Fibre Channel storage networking. CommVault Systems is a founding partner in the Brocade Fabric Aware program. The certification of the BROCADE SilkWorm Fabric switches with the CommVault Galaxy solution offers today's data-intensive organizations the critical tools to protect its mission-critical data residing in SANs. This announcement is further validation of CommVault's strategic vision to provide the next generation of data and storage management solutions and its initiative to partner with today's leading storage technology vendors to deliver the benefits of the Galaxy solution. The CommVault Galaxy software is the first and only storage management solution based on logical views of data, rather than the more limiting - and traditional - physical views common in the industry today. With the ability to track data on its attributes, rather than specific storage location, it delivers the ability to seamlessly support existing LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. environments as well as evolving storage architectures such as storage area networks (SAN) without the need for add-on products. As a result, the Galaxy software is easier to implement, administer and manage, offers superior performance and is more reliable than any other data protection and management solution on the market today. "BROCADE is clearly recognized as the industry leader in enabling Storage Area Networking deployment," said Bob Hammer Howard Robert Hammer (* March 3 1930 in Indianapolis) is an US-american jazz musician (pianist and arranger). Hammer studied at the Michigan State University and at Manhattan School of Music before taking private lessons by composer Henry Brant. , chairman, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Announcing the certification of the complete line of BROCADE SAN Fabric switches is an important step for us. BROCADE is the acknowledged leader in Fibre Channel connectivity solutions for SAN based storage solutions. We are confident that this initial step will lead to future collaborations that continue to bring exceptional value and return to customers." "We are pleased to work with CommVault to provide our mutual customers with advanced storage management in a reliable, scalable storage environment," said Jack Cuthbert, BROCADE vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "As SAN networking infrastructure continues to evolve at a rapid pace, new types of SAN-designed applications are now possible. Solutions such as CommVault's data management offering enable customers to simplify SAN management and complexity as they scale their storage environments to meet ever-escalating storage needs."

This often involves some degree of redundancy. 2. , performance and functionality of the Galaxy software suite will deliver reliability and flexibility for storage management operations.

Combined with the product's operational re-startability that allows interrupted backup, recover and administrative jobs to be automatically completed from the point of failure, the exposure to data loss from corruption or operator error is virtually eliminated. By comparison, other storage management products require manual intervention when jobs fail and if this failure is not detected, backups may never be properly completed. From a single, unified console, administrators can simultaneously set policies, monitor events, and seamlessly enhance the availability of critical business information regardless of whether it was physically located originally on a server, a LAN, or a SAN - without the need for separate `bolt-on' software modules, or the need to tab between interfaces or screens. As a result, the CommVault Galaxy data and storage management solution is much easier to use, requires less training, offers better performance and improves application data availability Refers to the degree to which data can be instantly accessed. The term is mostly associated with service levels that are set up either by the internal IT organization or that may be guaranteed by a third party datacenter or storage provider. .
