Simpana Search and Archiving Expedites eDiscovery

  • Sundt accelerates information access and eDiscovery of electronically stored information (ESI) to improve productivity and lower risk using the Simpana Search module. Used in combination with the CommVault Simpana active data archiving module, Sundt preserves e-mail for compliance and eDiscovery purposes.
  • With Simpana software's web-based interface, Sundt can easily search for emails using attributes and content found in messages, including email attachments.
  • Simpana software's advanced search capabilities including "search within a search" enable Sundt to quickly produce highly relevant, granular results.
  • Sundt plans to extend CommVault software's archiving and search functionality to include all files and SharePoint; self-serve searches for the legal team also are planned.

Simpana Deduplication Reduces Data Storage Costs

  • Sundt evaluated hardware-deduplication appliances from Data Domain and Quantum, but according to the company, found them costly and lacking in scalability which presented a problem for the fast-growing company.
  • Sundt determined that CommVault's software-based deduplication provided more cost-effective scaling and greater flexibility in reducing duplicate data across data backups and archives.
  • According to Sundt, CommVault software's embedded deduplication yielded an 85-percent compression rate during the pilot project, which exceeded the company's expectations and provided a strong business case for full-scale deployment in 2010.
  • Sundt's projected ability to reduce its long-term vaulting footprint by up to 90 percent will translate into fewer tapes and tape drives as well as less time required to manage the system, which is a big plus since the 10-member IT staff lacks a dedicated resource for managing data protection, the email archive, search requirements and deduplication.
  • Sundt found CommVault's single-platform approach and the software's centralized console to ease both deployment and ongoing operation, enabling the company to run one, cohesive system instead of disparate, point products.
