(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 leading provider of enterprise-class data and storage management software solutions, and Pathlight Technology, a leading storage networking solution provider, today announced the certification of the CommVault(R) Galaxy(TM) Enterprise 2000 data and storage management software suite with Pathlight's SAN Gateway(TM). This certification ensures that customers can take advantage of the benefits of LAN-free backup A LAN-free backup is a backup of server data to a shared, central storage device without sending the data over the local area network (LAN). It is usually achieved by using a storage area network (SAN). in open system environments when using storage area networking architecture. The combination of the Galaxy Enterprise 2000 software's logical-view interface for managing heterogeneous data and Pathlight's SAN Gateway with Data Mover Also called a "storage router," it is a device in a backup system that manages the transfer of data to the backup storage. See LAN free backup. option for LAN-free backup is especially attractive for data-intensive enterprises requiring pre-tested, seamless component compatibility for their SAN deployments. By eliminating the guesswork, the combined solution of CommVault and Pathlight allows administrators to confidently deploy complementary technologies that greatly enhance 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. and backup and recovery manageability within next-generation networked storage architectures. "Our joint certification with Pathlight's SAN Gateway ensures dramatically enhanced data and storage management functionality while delivering superior SAN management agility," said David West David West is the name of several people, including

CommVault's Galaxy Enterprise 2000 product is the first fully integrated enterprise storage management software solution designed specifically for managing large heterogeneous computing environments. By presenting a logical interface for viewing and managing dissimilar data and storage resource information, the CommVault Galaxy solution eliminates many of the management difficulties that traditional backup products encounter due to their physical device orientation. This approach is especially important as increasing numbers of today's data-intensive enterprises move from server-centric to data-centric solutions, such as Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Networks (SANs). Pathlight's SAN Gateway provides a high-speed, high-reliability complete storage networking infrastructure in a single product and delivers a wide range of critical functionality. It provides complete connectivity via multiple independently configured Fibre Channel ports and SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. channels with simultaneous support for heterogeneous systems heterogeneous system n.
