How CommVault Partners with Sun Microsystems, Inc.
The partnership between CommVault and Sun builds on the solid partnerships they have with Microsoft. If you need to upgrade or implement Microsoft Exchange, SQL, Active Directory or SharePoint environment, you can benefit greatly from a joint CommVault software on Sun hardware solution. If you are looking to upgrade to Exchange 2007 or move your Microsoft environments to a 64-bit platform, CommVault makes it easy to migrate your data to the new environment and Sun hardware provides a high-performance 64-bit platform. In addition, the joint CommVault & Sun solution provides the following benefits:

• A unified platform for all MSFT Exchange & SharePoint data protection needs—delivers archive and backup, and granular recovery in one solution.
• Single instancing lets customers maintain one copy of duplicative information across SharePoint & Exchange to save money and ease management.
• High search granularity lets you rapidly find and restore at the volume or individual message level for excellent legal discovery support and data protection.
• "Release Independent" Exchange, SharePoint and Windows data management software — if you upgrade to Exchange 2007, you can still recover email from Exchange 5.5 and up with your compliance features still in place.
