CommVault Edge is available for free trial

DUBAI, UAE: CommVault announced a free trial of CommVault Edge, an enterprise-class solution for endpoint data protection, search and access. The downloadable software trial allows enterprises to experience end user access without requiring additional infrastructure, as all user data is backed up to the CommVault Cloud free of charge.

The complete CommVault Edge solution allows global enterprises to collect and manage all laptop and desktop data rapidly and efficiently in a way that is completely transparent to employees, yet minimizes risk and maximizes control for IT departments. Employees can access and recover their own corporate data from any device protected by Simpana software without having to call the helpdesk.

According to IDG Research Services, 76 percent of organizations say secure access to company data from mobile devices is critical and 80 percent of those organizations report that IT spends a lot of time retrieving end user data. With the CommVault Edge trial, IT can experience how they can empower their mobile workforce with secure, self-service recovery that can boost productivity.

CommVault Edge free trial includes:

• A lightweight, downloadable software package for Windows and Mac clients that installs in minutes

• No infrastructure needed - users back up to the CommVault Cloud at no charge during the trial period

• Automated file sync for increased productivity and fast sharing of documents between devices

• Web and mobile apps provide secure, self-service data access

• Document search and preview capability to quickly find and retrieve corporate files

• Microsoft integration that allows employees to quickly find and easily recover files using Windows Explorer

• Free email-based support

"The volume of user-generated data and the pace at which it is being created is putting IT on the defensive and hampering worker productivity when it comes to endpoint data access and recovery," said Jeff Echols, senior director, product and solutions marketing, CommVault. "The CommVault Edge free trial program is designed to give customers an immediate remedy for this acute pain, while also setting the foundation for a more proactive and productive mobile workforce."
