Simpana 10 now allows users to search, view, download and restore files and documents in the ContentStore through a web console or Edge mobile app for smartphones and tablets, without IT assistance or third-party services. Administrators can also access reports and manage tasks using the new CommVault Monitor app.
New disaster recovery functionality replicates deduplicated data copies to any storage target to support recovery of backups into virtual machines, while improved workflow automation provides drag-and-drop functionality to administrate repeatable tasks. CommVault has also launched new consulting and professional services, role-based educational offerings and support programs for disaster recovery, snapshot management, virtual server protection, and data classification and archive policy design.
