Storage in the Enterprise This newsletter is sponsored by HP Empower your business with the HP BladeSystem c-Class Network World's Storage in the Enterprise Newsletter, 07/10/07 Commvault enhances data protection suite By Deni Connor Commvault this week launched what it claims is the largest release of its data protection software. The company launched a new version of its Qinetix suite of products and re-branded them as Simpana, saying that Qinetix was too hard to say and remember. Simpana adds a smart client with data classification capability, single instance store (SIS), content indexing and new security and encryption capabilities.

The new Smart Client Enabler is specifically for Windows hosts; it eliminates long and repetitive file system scans and crawls and reduces the time for backups, archives and resource management. Simpana’s client agent feeds online data to the content indexing component. Single Instance Store provides single instancing of files and attachments across backup and archive copies, so more data can be stored on less disk. SIS can be done either inline or by post-processing. It uses any supported disk and encrypts and compresses data it saves. Simpana also includes content indexing capability via an OEM relationship with FAST and its InStream engine. The FAST technology does full content indexing by keywords and phrases on 370 content types in 77 languages. Key management and encryption are also included in this release of Simpana. Encryption can be done on the network, on disk or on tape or in all places. Simpana uses AES-256 and Blowfish encryption and supports LTO-4. In addition, Simpana now supports Exchange 2007, Red Hat Linux, SUSE 10, Solaris 10 and Mac OS X10. It adds support for the 64-bit version of Active Directory. Simpana is available now.   What do you think? Post a comment on this newsletter
