October 27, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Software developer CommVault (www.commvault.com) today announced that its infrastructure management software Simpana has been named the winner of the “2008 Green Storage Solutions Excellence Awards” by China Computerworld (www2.ccw.com.cn) at the “Green Data Center Conference” in Beijing.
According to CommVault’s Monday announcement, the country’s largest IT publication, China Computerworld thoroughly analysed CommVault and awarded it one of its annual Chinese IT awards, which feature companies in various categories. This category specifically “underscoring the growing need for more environmentally-friendly storage solutions in the Chinese market,” according to CommVault’s announcement.
Simpana is software suite with application modules for data protection, archive, replication, resource management and search. The company said the software helps reduce infrastructure costs by optimizing data management processes, decreasing or postponing equipment purchase needs, reducing energy needs and improving data management efficiency.
While China ranks only 105 out of 149 countries in Yale University’s 2008 Environmental Performance Index based on 25 environmental indicators, the inclusion of an environmental category for these awards shows a growing awareness of the affects of global pollution.
“The analysis committee concludes that CommVault’s unified information management solutions provide a better way for the industry to implement green data management solutions and reduce power consumption and cooling systems at enterprise data centers,” China Computerworld deputy chief editor Guo Ping said in a statement.
