Commvault announced it was positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the recently released Magic Quadrant Data 
Center Backup and Recovery Software. Gartner positioned Commvault highest on execution and furthest on completeness of vision, marking Commvault’s sixth consecutive year as a leader in Gartner’s market evaluation for backup and recovery.
According to Gartner, “This 2016 ‘Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Software’ is a refocus and update to the “Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup Software and Integrated Appliances” that was last published in June 2015. The renamed Magic Quadrant and updated market criteria are in response to Gartner client requests to focus more on backup and recovery software for the upper midsize to large enterprises that protect data center workloads managed by data center personnel.”
The new report also states that, “data protection approaches of the past may no longer suffice in meeting current – much less future – recovery requirements. As such, many companies are willing to adopt new technologies and products from new vendors, and they haves shown an increased willingness to augment or even completely switch backup and recovery providers to better meet their increasing service-level needs, overall cost requirements and ease of management needs.”
“For Commvault, it has always been all about the data, and the new Magic Quadrant validates our strategy to help companies manage and protect their data, and to flexibly adopt new technologies, in particular the cloud,” said Mr N. Robert Hammer, Chairman, President and CEO, Commvault. “Commvault is a clear leader in the data center backup and recovery software – so say our customers and our partners. We have earned this recognition by heavily investing in innovation, supporting the widest variety of hardware, hypervisors, cloud and other platforms in the industry and by offering flexibility in software packaging and pricing.”
