Paradigm Shift from Point-Level Solutions

Results from a Gartner survey revealed that companies are likely finding it difficult to manage data with existing point-level solutions. CommVault was the first to come up with an answer to this problem with the development of Simpana®, the industry’s only integrated data management platform. It solves a variety of problems thanks to architecture unlike that of any other company.
