Being the only software company focused exclusively on data management puts CommVault in a decidedly exclusive category, but it's an incomplete definition. It doesn't begin to tell the complete story of who CommVault is and what makes us unlike the old data management standbys you're used to.

That's because CommVault's identity is as much about character as capabilities. The philosophy that inspired our creation and continues to inform our every move is what enables us to develop truly unique solutions.

Like most great ideas, CommVault was born from the passionate belief in a better way. Our founders understood all too well the shortcomings of existing data management solutions and the difficulties and frustrations they inspired.

Rather than accept these shortcomings, CommVault's founders determined to develop a better way to manage data. A way that would not attempt merely to "integrate" disparate solutions, but would spawn solutions designed to work together from a single, infinitely-adaptable code. A way that would not merely address current data management needs, but that would anticipate and meet needs yet to come. A way that would be more accessible, adaptable, flexible and powerful than any data management solution to date.

This innovative Solving Forward™ approach is quietly transforming what people think a data management solution provider can be.
