CommVault Adds Enterprise Search in Simpana 7.0
Oceanport, N.J. - July 9,
2007 - CommVault today announced the largest software release in its
history - CommVault Simpana 7.0.
The Simpana 7.0 suite
provides major enhancements to data protection, archiving and replication
solutions, additional platform coverage, and also delivers a rich set of new
product features, including: Enterprise-wide Search and Discovery, Single
Instance Store, High Performance Content Indexing, Data Classification,
Expanded Security and Encryption Capabilities, and Post-processing. Pricing
starts at approximately $12,000 for an entry level single server
configuration.
Dave West, VP, Marketing at CommVault said "The
real story (about pricing) is not how much it costs you to acquire the software,
but rather how much you can save by not needing to deploy multiple point level
products requiring separate hardware infrastructures to support them. Add on top
of that the administrative costs associated with multiple products and
consumables associated with those multiple products."
...CommVault profile
Editor's
comments:- I asked for more info about the
enterprise search.
Dave West said "The CommVault content indexing engine, which
allows for full text search, now uses an embedded OEM version of the
FAST
inStream
indexing engine. It's worth noting that this is an extension to
CommVault's existing distributed indexing system which maintains a logical
catalog of all the objects under management. The web search application for
end-users and discovery users is based on our own code. This provides the web
interface, security model, user result sets / export capabilities."

But if you do
need the speediest SSD
then wading through the web sites of over 55 current

And the SSD search problem will get even
worse. |

there will be over 100 SSD oems in 2008.

Virtual
Tape: Can You Afford to Ignore It? - article by MaXXan Systems
Network
connected disk to disk backup systems for the enterprise have come a long way
since the first pioneering products started to appear in the pages of
STORAGEsearch.com in the late 1990s.
Some of the growing
sophistication in the market can be seen by the way that the marketing
terminology has morphed from the early D2d (let's kill tape backup), via D2D2T
(let's be friends with tape / peaceful coexistence) to the current VTL (Virtual
Tape Library - let's just see if they notice that it's more reliable and works
faster - and don't tell them that there isn't a tape in the box) type of
approaches.
But if you think that speed, reliability and cost are the
only things you need to know about the "virtual" versus "real"
tape library argument - take a look at this comprehensive article from MaXXan
Systems which shows there are a lot more benefits than that. ...read the article,
