DENVER and TINTON FALLS, N.J., Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault (NASDAQ:
CVLT), a recognized global enterprise software leader in the
management of data for cloud and on-premises environments, today
announced rich product and experience enhancements to Commvault
Activate™, its data insights and governance solution.
Commvault Activate gives customers greater visibility into their
data, identifies opportunities for storage efficiencies, and
manages risk. Today's enhancements include the addition of file
access controls for File Storage Optimization and new redaction
functions with Sensitive Data Governance. Commvault will be
showcasing Commvault Activate at the GO Village Expo Hall at
Commvault GO 2019, the industry's premier data readiness
conference.
Additionally, Commvault introduced a flexible licensing scheme.
While the entire Commvault Activate suite continues to be available
on a per user basis, organizations can now flexibly purchase
Commvault Activate's capabilities – File Storage Optimization,
Sensitive Data Governance and eDiscovery -- on either a per
terabyte basis (for use with file and VM data) or a per user basis
(for use with email or Microsoft Office 365 data). Commvault
Activate licenses can then be expanded as customer needs
evolve.
"Enterprises today need to be ready to take on complex data
governance, compliance and storage optimization challenges if they
want to avoid heavy government data privacy fines, reduce
unnecessary IT costs, and build customer trust," said Ranga Rajagopalan, Vice President of Product
Management, Commvault. "Over the past year, Commvault Activate has
empowered our customers to analyze their data and use that insight
to drive optimization of their unstructured data, reduce risks
associated with their sensitive data, and enhance their data
governance stance. Today, we build on this success, with more data
governance capabilities, a simpler user experience and new pricing
packages, to make it even easier for customers to use Commvault
Activate to transform their data risks into data rewards."
With today's announcement, Commvault also introduced Entitlement
Management to the Activate File Storage Optimization offering,
enabling customers to better control their critical or sensitive
data, and to apply changes necessary to lock down file access. The
user experience for File Storage Optimization has been streamlined
by consolidating the dashboards into the Commvault Command Center
for easier management and reporting. As a result, users can quickly
access the various views when reviewing storage distribution and
identify duplicated or orphan files for clients or
client-groups.
Redaction is available when exporting files using Activate
Sensitive Data Governance. For those who respond to GDPR
Right-to-Access and other similar requirements, the export function
will optionally redact sensitive data entities found within the
files or emails.
"Commvault Activate has already produced a significant reduction
in cost, risk, storage, and complexity by processing eDiscovery and
legal holds for our business," said Jeff
Pelot, CIO, Denver Health. "We are actively engaged in our
own efforts to drive storage efficiencies and to deal with the
governance issues that come along with highly regulated personal
and health information. It's good to see Activate's portfolio of
solutions addressing these challenges."
"Commvault Activate currently powers all our archiving and
indexing functions and enables us to perform keyword searches and
content analyses across more than 30 million files," said
Jundong Xia, Senior Manager of IT
Platform, Yantai Shinho Food Co., Ltd. "As a result, we have been
able to maximize the value of our data to manage risk and support
business growth. We look forward to exploring the new innovations
announced today to give us even greater visibility and insight from
our data, while optimizing storage backups and increasing
governance."
"I've managed our eDiscovery processes for years with Commvault
Activate and have seen the value it has brought to our organization
in accelerating responses to legal hold requests and meeting
compliance-related demands," said Barry
Hubbard, Director of Infrastructure, Architecture and
Engineering, Envision Healthcare. "As we look to the future, I can
see the significant value in using Activate to help us address new
and ever-changing data privacy regulations, and to provide
visibility into data impacted by our infrastructure modernization
plans. New features including access control management and
redaction for exported files could be key for us to minimize
information risks."
The new flexible pricing options will be available to customers
in early-November and through Commvault's global ecosystem of
partners.
"We're particularly excited about the new licensing and pricing
model, which will make Activate easier to buy - and for us as a
partner - easier to sell," said Vincent
Chang, President at Arrosoft Solutions. "Since its launch
last year, we have seen many of our customers benefit from
Commvault Activate's ability to help them gain insight on their
information's risk and value. These changes will make Commvault
Activate more attractive to our customers who are interested in the
solution for file storage optimization, sensitive data governance
or eDiscovery use cases."
"A huge majority of our customers' requirements are around the
optimization of backup data while – responsibly – extracting
greater business value or insights from those data management
investments," said Damon Roberston,
Managing Director, COOLSPRiT. "Commvault Activate enables us to
deliver on these requirements. The breadth of Activate's full
capabilities mean we are always able to explore new ways to
increase agility and performance while also increasing the
strategic value we provide to our customers' businesses."
