Commvault’s sixth consecutive year as a leader in backup and recovery
A scalable, single code base; comprehensive support for cloud deployments; and broadest support for storage hardware platforms; some of the reasons that separate Commvault from the competition
Tinton Falls, N.J. – June 14, 2016 — /BackupReview.info/ — Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in enterprise data protection and information management, today announced it was positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the recently released Magic Quadrant Data Center Backup and Recovery Software. Gartner positioned Commvault highest on execution and furthest on completeness of vision, marking Commvault’s sixth consecutive year as a leader in Gartner’s market evaluation for backup and recovery.
According to Gartner, “This 2016 ‘Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software’ is a refocus and update to the “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup Software and Integrated Appliances” that was last published in June 2015. The renamed Magic Quadrant and updated market criteria are in response to Gartner client requests to focus more on backup and recovery software for the upper midsize to large enterprises that protect data center workloads managed by data center personnel.” (i)
The new report also states that “data protection approaches of the past may no longer suffice in meeting current – much less future – recovery requirements. As such, many companies are willing to adopt new technologies and products from new vendors, and they haves shown an increased willingness to augment or even completely switch backup and recovery providers to better meet their increasing service-level needs, overall cost requirements and ease of management needs.” (ii)
“For Commvault, it has always been all about the data, and the new Magic Quadrant validates our strategy to help companies manage and protect their data, and to flexibly adopt new technologies, in particular the cloud,” said N. Robert Hammer, chairman, president and CEO, Commvault. “Commvault is a clear leader in the data center backup and recovery software – so say our customers and our partners. We have earned this recognition by heavily investing in innovation, supporting the widest variety of hardware, hypervisors, cloud and other platforms in the industry and by offering flexibility in software packaging and pricing.”
Highest and Furthest in Vision and Ability to Execute
As the backup and recovery market continues to shift rapidly, customer requirements are changing. According to Gartner:
Commvault has established itself as a leader in the data center backup and recovery market by intensely focusing on solving the problems experienced by modern enterprises as they seek to protect their strategic information assets while transforming themselves into digital businesses. By continuously innovating, Commvault delivers its customers the reliability, flexibility and efficiency they need to turn data into a strategic asset and derive business value and insight for their organizations.

More about Gartner’s Magic Quadrant
According to Gartner, Magic Quadrant Leaders have “the highest combined measures of ability to execute and completeness of vision. They have the most comprehensive and scalable product portfolios. They have a proven track record of established market presence and financial performance. For vision, they are perceived in the industry as thought leaders, and have well-articulated plans for enhancing recovery capabilities, improving ease of deployment and administration, and increasing their scalability and product breadth. A fundamental sea change is occurring in the recovery market. For vendors to have long-term success, they must plan to address the legacy requirements of traditional backup and recovery, while looking to expand their integration with and exploitation of snapshot and replication technologies. A cornerstone for Leaders is the ability to articulate how new requirements will be addressed as part of their vision for recovery management. As a group, Leaders can be expected to be considered part of most new purchase proposals and have high success rates in winning new business. This does not mean, however, that a large market share alone is a primary indicator of a Leader. Leaders are strategic vendors, well-positioned for the future, having established success in meeting the needs of upper midsize and large data centers.”
