OCEANPORT, N.J., Nov. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) announced today that it has been positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant of Gartner Inc.'s "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving¹." According to Gartner, "The term 'enterprise information archiving' (EIA) incorporates products and solutions for archiving user content, (for example, email, files, IM, text messages) and other data types (such as structured data, social media and Web page content). These products provide features such as data deduplication across content types, retention management, content indexing and at least basic tools for e-discovery (which, in this case, includes functionality for legal hold, advanced search, export and other features specific to managing data for eDiscovery within the archive)."

As an integral part of the Simpana® software platform, CommVault's Intelligent Archive capabilities help organizations classify, retain, and access information based on strategic business value. Instead of accumulating and sifting through volumes of useless data, Simpana software intelligently indexes and retains information based on automated compliance-driven retention policies. Simple and intuitive search and access mitigates eDiscovery and compliance challenges, and transforms enterprise data into insight, empowering organizations to make better business decisions.

"We believe this recognition demonstrates the value of a singular software platform that enables our customers to overcome their data and information management challenges and make better decisions," said N. Robert Hammer, Chairman, President and CEO, CommVault. "Simpana 10 builds on CommVault's leadership in enterprise backup and recovery to deliver intelligent archive and search capabilities that change the game for compliance, eDiscovery and Information Governance."
