Storage Management Software - Tiver CommVault Success Story

"Do you want £200,000 worth of backup software for free?" 

This is what I recently asked one of my clients. Before that, I worked with my client to determine their data protection requirements, and we narrowed down the final choice to two software vendors:

The other vendor is a major developer of enterprise storage management software, and the only other one good enough for this particular 22TB project.  When my client selected CommVault instead of the other vendor, they were offered all of the software for free, as long as they paid for maintenance.

My client declined the offer of free software from the other vendor, and instead elected to pay hard cash to Tiver Limited for CommVault software licences AND maintenance.

The other software could do the job, in a fashion, but different parts of the solution came from different acquisitions the vendor had made.  This meant that my client would need to deal with: different engineering teams, different user interfaces, different pricing structures, and multiple training sessions. 

I also questioned how the other vendor would integrate these technologies and pricing structures over the next three years, and did not recieve a satisfactory answer.

In contrast, the CommVault solution has a single Common Technology Engine.  All functions, including: data protection, replication, and archiving are managed from the same interface.  The implementation, training, and long term roadmap for my client are neatly integrated.

One of the best parts we enjoyed when dealing with CommVault was the total flexibility to swap software licences to those of an equivalent value.  No matter what my client changes: Oracle to SQL, fixed to virtual servers, or Microsoft to Linux, they will never lose out on their investment.  This makes future planning and budgeting for the unpredictable a breeze.

For over twenty years it has been my mission to solve data protection problems for the FTSE 100.  I can definitely recommend that your choice of software, and a partner, is CommVault.
