Commvault

History[edit]
Commvault was originally formed in 1988 as a development group in Bell Labs focused on data
management, backup, and recovery; it was later designated a business unit of AT&T Network
Systems.[2][3] After becoming a part of Lucent Technologies, the unit was sold in 1996 and became a
corporation, with Scotty R. Neal as CEO.[3]
In March 1998, Bob Hammer joined Commvault as chairman, president and CEO, and Al Bunte
joined as vice president and COO.[3] In 2000, the company began releasing products aimed at
managing network storage.[2] In March 2006, Commvault filed for an initial public offering,[2] and
officially went public later that year as CVLT on NASDAQ.[4] At the end of 2013, the company moved
from its space in Oceanport, New Jersey, to its new $146 million headquarters at the former Fort
Monmouth in Tinton Falls, New Jersey.[5]
On February 5, 2019, Sanjay Mirchandani replaced the retiring Hammer as president and CEO, and
Nick Adamo was announced as chairman of the board. [6][7] Mirchandani joined Commvault
from Puppet, an Oregon-based IT automation company, where he served as CEO. [8]

Software
Commvault software is an enterprise-level data platform that contains modules to back up, restore,
archive, replicate, and search data. It is built from the ground-up on a single platform and unified
code base. It has four product lines: Complete Backup and Recovery, HyperScale integrated
appliances, Orchestrate disaster recovery, and Activate analytics.[4][9] The software is available across
cloud and on-premises environments.[9]
Data is protected by installing agent software on the physical or virtual hosts, which use operating
system or application native APIs to protect data in a consistent state. Production data is processed
by the agent software on client computers and backed up through a data manager, the MediaAgent,
to disk, tape, or cloud storage. All data management activity in the environment is tracked by a
centralized server, the CommServ, and can be managed by administrators through a central user
interface. End users can access protected data using web browsers and mobile devices.
In 2008, Commvault launched a new remote operations management service for storage
management for small and midsize businesses.[10] In 2009, the company's backup software product
Simpana version 8 offered the industry's first global embedded software deduplication, allowing
users to deduplicate data no matter where it is stored. [11] In 2015, following the release of Simpana
version 10, the product was renamed Commvault Software. [12] In 2017, Commvault began to sell its
Hyperscale Backup data protection appliances, following up a year later by adding high capacity
Hyperscale appliances, and the standalone Remote Office Appliance. [13][14] Also in 2017, Commvault
and Cisco Systems announced ScaleProtect, combining HyperScale software reference architecture
with the Cisco Unified Computing System, giving enterprise customers the ability to manage
secondary data in a cloud-like, on-premises solution. [15][13] On July 17, 2018, the company announced
a newly packaged set of four products under the name Commvault Complete: Commvault Complete
Backup & Recovery, Commvault HyperScale, Commvault Orchestrate, and Commvault Activate. [16]
[17]
 On October 14, 2019, Commvault launched Metallic, a SaaS backup and recovery service for the
mid-market, allowing customers to backup on-premises data to their own backup system, their public
cloud, Metallic's public cloud, or a combination of both. [18]
Commvault has partnered with companies including Cisco Systems,[15] Hewlett Packard Enterprise,
[19]
 Microsoft,[20] Amazon Web Services,[21] IBM,[22] and Google.[23]

Services[edit]
Commvault provides consulting services for customers. The company advises customers with
setting up new data management systems from the architecture design to the implementation and
monitoring. In the remote managed service, Commvault manages the software in production for their
customers.[24]

Acquisitions[edit]
On 4 September 2019, Commvault announced that it would acquire software-defined storage startup
Hedvig, with the acquisition valued at $225 million. [6][25] The acquisition was completed that October. [26]
On 1 February 2022, Commvault announced that it has acquired Israel based cyber security
company TrapX.[27]
