CommVault has released an update to its data management software platform, Simpana 10, providing self-service access from mobile devices and enhanced enterprise search integration.

Simpana 10’s architecture stores all protected data in a virtual repository, called ContentStore, 

A new feature called  Simpana OnePass with Exchange eases long-term e-mail retention l by converging backup, archiving and reporting into a single process.

It includes a new Microsoft Outlook plug-in that is claimed to reduce the time it takes to search, view and recover archived e-mails from hours to seconds, by accessing e-mails retained in ContentStore directly from Outlook. 

Enhanced IntelliSnap snapshot management, formerly called SnapProtect, provides instant, automated recovery of applications and virtual servers. Simpana 10 expands IntelliSnap management of snapshot, backup and replication by adding new integration and use cases to extend customers’ existing investments and increase flexibility including: new support for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V; enhancements to IBM DB2, Lotus Notes, SAP and Oracle integration; converged snapshot and backup policies that simplify operations; and snapshot cloning orchestration that speeds application testing, development and business analytics.

Introduced in Simpana 10, healthcare professionals can rapidly search and retrieve Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACs) images and electronic records housed in the ContentStore, even if the data originated from multiple PACs platforms. A centralised archive supports both Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) and non-DICOM data, to improve efficiency and control data management costs for healthcare providers.
