Permabit Technology Announces Certification With CommVault Simpana 8 Software

Permabit Enterprise Value Tier Storage Solutions and CommVault's Simpana 8 Provides End-to-End Archiving Solution


CAMBRIDGE, MA--(Marketwire - November 2, 2009) - Permabit Technology Corporation, the leading innovator of value tier storage solutions for the enterprise, today announced that they have received certification for Permabit Enterprise Archive with CommVault® Simpana® 8 software.

Permabit's Enterprise Archive Certified with CommVault's Simpana 8 provides:

--  Certified storage management solution that allows seamless migration
    of static information from Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, Lotus
    Domino and file systems freeing up valuable and expensive primary storage
    capacity.
--  Dramatically improved backup by intelligently relocating static
    information to Permabit storage, moving it out of the active backup process
    to save time while reducing overall costs for hardware, software and
    management.
--  A unified eDiscovery platform that allows Simpana software's powerful
    search and eDiscovery solution to search massive amounts of information
    that can be cost effectively stored on Permabit's enterprise value tier
    disk storage platform.
--  A secure, compliance-ready archive platform that can store data in a
    Write Once Read Many (WORM) storage repository, built-in natively to the
    Permabit Enterprise Archive storage, and enforce retention policies defined
    within the Simpana platform.  This allows for adherence to even the most
    stringent of regulatory and corporate compliance requirements.
    

Permabit's certification with CommVault technology was validated by a series of test cases and test plans to demonstrate complete compatibility between Enterprise Archive and CommVault Simpana data and information management software. When used with Enterprise Archive, CommVault Simpana software automates the integration, archive and backup of data between the online environment and the archived storage data repository, speeding critical access to increase productivity and workflow across the organization.

As a member of the CommVault Partner Advantage program, CommVault will provide Permabit with new releases and software updates, as well as ongoing training and support to ensure continued compatibility of CommVault Simpana software with Permabit Enterprise Archive.
