Supporting Customer Quotes
From Peter Hawkins, IT manager for Cystic Fibrosis Trust:
• "At the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, our day-to-day fundraising, donations and research efforts drive increasing amounts of unstructured archived file data and rapid email growth. These aspects, coupled with frequent search requests by our Human Resources department of internal users or custodians, often make the management and discovery of our data and information a challenge. By switching to CommVault Simpana File and Email archiving software, however, we've been able to bring our production file and email content retention under control from a cost and risk perspective, while content indexing over 3 million emails and 1 million files. Now, with Simpana journaling and discovery capabilities, we're better able to meet email compliance regulations without impacting our IT infrastructure and facilitate searches across our organization in seconds. With Simpana software, we've achieved some pretty significant storage and efficiency gains, which help us demonstrate both IT and business value in terms of improved IT operations and enhanced end user access to business-critical information."
From Peter Sowerby, senior enterprise data administrator for Just Energy who states that IT is the backbone of the business as:
• "Just Energy is in a state of constant growth. We have to be fast, nimble and ready to go. CommVault Simpana software provides us with the tools to make sure that our data is protected at all times. Simpana software's replication capabilities help us to continually backup more without having to make major hardware acquisitions to accommodate that growth, thus allowing us to be a lot more flexible in our data management. In the end, Simpana software offers both time and cost savers all the way around."
