Since 1996, CommVault Systems has provided the industry’s leading data storage and backup software. Over the years, our customers have facednew challenges – and frustrations – trying to keep up with the dynamic category of data protection, storage and management.

That’s why we developed QiNetix.

CommVault® QiNetix™ platform is the first unified enterprise data managementsolution that ensures high performance protection, universal availability and simplified management of complex storage networks. Built on theproven CommVault Common Technology Engine, the QiNetix solution is a single automated platform with a global catalogue and index. Customerscan deploy individual products or seamlessly integrate new elements into an existing CommVault solution, at a fraction of the time, effort and moneyrequired by separate point products.

The result? Dynamic data management that makes it easy to manage storage.

And, best of all, the interaction and integration of these CommVault components deliver unparalleled business and operational advantages. Like,superior ROI. Better use of storage resources. Increased staff productivity.Maximum data availability. And, reduced Total Cost of Ownership.

Time for a new architecture:Qualitative Information Networks.QiNetix is the industry’s first solution based on the new concept ofQualitative Information Networks (QIN) – self-managing storage networksfounded on data-centric business and operational objectives that map to the treatment of application data. This dynamic approach keeps your enterprise data highly available and accessible. With minimal human intervention, the QiNetix platform will enforce your corporate policies to protect data everywhere, use outcome predictions to optimize storageusage and organization and unify your data and storage management. All from one common interface.

No wonder we think of QiNetix as an idea whose time has come.

CommVault’s Common Technology Engine – an uncommonly sound foundation.

The QiNetix platform integrates five separate products: backup and recovery, data migration, quick recovery, SRM and SAN management – all of which work alongside and with each other. The CommVault Common Technology Engine (CTE) makes this possible – an underlying softwarefoundation that gives CommVault software the unique ability to implement a meta-policy approach. So, yourQuality of Service directives become actionable policies atthe software product/module level.

A comprehensive solution of data-centriccapabilities, components and services.

Data Protection – Galaxy Backup and RecoveryCommVault® Galaxy™ software offers you a unified, scalabledata protection solution for distributed, heterogeneous environments.
