OCEANPORT, NJ – April 22, 2014 — /BackupReview.info/ — CommVault (NASDAQ: CVLT) today announced that it has extended its relationship with Rackspace® Hosting® (NYSE: RAX), the open cloud company, to improve managed backup services based on the latest enhancements in Simpana 10.

Powered by Simpana software, the Rackspace Managed Backup service helps customers reduce risk and provides peace of mind by enabling customers to back up their data for rapid recovery in the event of an outage or data loss. The flexibility of the Simpana platform allows Rackspace to offer a range of options, helping customers with their specific data backup needs.

Through their collaborative efforts, the companies have worked closely to enhance Rackspace’s services capabilities with latest capabilities of the Simpana 10 platform. Rackspace is now leveraging several of the newest features found in Simpana software, including workflow automation and global reporting.

“We work closely with our partners to quickly and effectively deliver new data and information management services that provide long term strategic value both to ourselves and our service provider partners,” said Alan G. Bunte, executive vice president and chief operating officer, CommVault. “Our relationship with Rackspace is a perfect example of how CommVault collaborates with a broad ecosystem of global providers to help more customers rapidly adopt modern data information management for improved costs and agility.”
