QiNetix DataArchiver(TM) Provides Customers with Long-term Access

to Microsoft Exchange E-Mail to Meet Compliance and Other Regulatory

Requirements

CommVault(R) Systems, Inc., a provider of unified enterprise data management solutions today announced the availability of new QiNetix(TM) DataArchiver(TM) software. The DataArchiver solution adds to CommVault's ultimate data protection solution by helping provide customers with surveillance, discovery and long-term access to Microsoft Exchange e-mail for government compliance or business needs. Offering cross-mailbox full content search, advanced sampling techniques and the ability to capture and monitor all inbound and outbound e-mail, DataArchiver software helps to answer business' growing need to examine electronic communications. By incorporating DataArchiver's long-term data management capabilities into an information lifecycle management strategy, customers can greatly reduce costs and business risk.

"IT is just getting their arms around this issue," said John Webster, founder of Data Mobility Group LLC, in Nashua, N.H. "The federal government wants all public companies to archive any transaction related to financial statements, including e-mail. They have to provide them, often within 48 hours. If you need to comply, you have to look at tools like DataArchiver."

QiNetix DataArchiver for Microsoft Exchange includes a robust feature set that facilitates long-term data management and reduces business risk from non-compliance or future litigation. DataArchiver software will support other platforms and business applications in future releases.

Features include:

-- Archival of targeted fixed content (e-mail) - uses a secure

data store for long-term retention and accessibility -

seamless integration with tamper-proof storage media.

-- Robust policy-based lifecycle management across all data

copies and source applications (clients) - allows users to

easily manage multiple copies and individual retention

schedules. Verification and media management ease

administration burden.

-- Rich search and discovery capabilities coupled with secure

access - includes browse, search and retrieval. Authorized

users can quickly search and access archival data for

compliance or discovery purposes. Includes audit, security and

lifecycle controls. Distributed indexing provides unmatched

scalability and redundant data protection.

-- Full integration with QiNetix Common Technology Engine -

utilizes proven QiNetix data movement, management, collection

and preservation technologies and robust media management that

are common to all QiNetix solutions. Includes the scalable

distributed indexing model that preserves the property data

index and highly efficient content index. Like all

applications within the QiNetix suite, DataArchiver leverages

the CTE to reduce deployment and administration costs compared

to individual point solutions.
