CommVault Opens Door to iSCSI: Page 2 of 2

The Galaxy backup and recovery software works with StoneFly's D2D backup IP SANs, LeftHand’s IP SAN product, and EqualLogic’s PeerStorage array. CommVault has also certified the software for Spectra Logic Corp.'s tape libraries; Spectra Logic was the first tape vendor in the industry to introduce iSCSI support (see CommVault OKs Spectra Logic iSCSI and Spectra Logic Pulls iSCSI Trigger).

Another tape array library vendor, Overland Storage Inc. (Nasdaq: OVRL), has driven hard on backup-over-iSCSI, acquiring startup Okapi Software earlier in June of this year (see Overland Captures Okapi).

Last week, CommVault announced QiNetix 5.0, which includes new DataArchiver software and enhancements to the Galaxy Backup/Recovery, QiNetix DataMigrator, and QiNetix Quick Recovery products. QiNetix 5.0 software components are expected to be available in early November, with component pricing starting at $795 (see CommVault Announces QiNetix 5.0).
