New Solution Set Bundles in V10
 These are new CLA bundles that cover:
 VM backup (per socket or per VM and cheaper)
 Endpoint (laptop & desktop) backup
 Email archiving
 These bundles are designed to be competitively
priced and include basic filesystem backup and
search licences
 New IntelliSnap bundles now include 2-days of
remote implementation services.
cSIM VM & Cloud Management
VMs
 Two new pricing models for VMs on a per Socket
or per VM basis with options for
 IntelliSnap and Self Service
 VM Provisioning & Cloud Management
 VM Lifecycle management
 Can now add a bundle of VM protection to an
existing CLA CommCell and it includes the TB
capacity to backup the VMs
 Typically add DPF & APP or DPA to do physical or
application server backup on a per TB basis
 Can be less than half the cost by using the bundles.

Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software
A Leader: 2011-2014 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup Software and Integrated Appliances
Gartner’s perceived “cautions”
• Pricing sometimes encourages
customers to augment
CommVault with lower-cost VM
point products
• Cost of services required to
deploying array-based snapshot
capability
• Some prospects and customers
cite the lack of a CommVault
integrated appliance as an
impediment
