Keeping the mobile workforce working efficiently means protecting their devices, while making it easy for them to access and recover lost or deleted files. Commvault protects your data wherever it lives with secure, efficient backup and recovery.
CxO’s and other business leaders want employees to be able to share information easily and collaborate seamlessly and securely with their colleagues and external teams so that they stay productive from anywhere at any time. IT leaders need to ensure that users are not putting the business at risk by exposing corporate data to unauthorized access or loss. Legal and compliance leaders desire to search corporate data comprehensively and discover it efficiently to minimize the risks and costs from audits and litigation.
PROTECT, ACCESS AND SHARE DATA EASILY Commvault® Endpoint Data Protection software is a complete solution that increases end user productivity by providing unparalleled access to protected content for users to easily search, sync, and share without compromise to security. Data resides in the ContentStore, a virtual repository for all Commvault software managed data that drives efficiency and enhances value from protected content, through access, security, governance, and analytics. File sharing fosters collaboration with colleagues, partners and customers in a private cloud as an alternative to e-mail or other consumer focused file sharing options.
SHARE A FILE INTERNALLY WITH COLLEAGUES Quickly copy and paste the link to a file from the ContentStore and send to a colleague over Instant Message, enabling them to easily view the file on the web without having to mail as an attachment.

COLLABORATE WITH PARTNERS AND CUSTOMERS Many files today are too large for e-mail, exceeding message attachment size limits, hindering the ability to iterate and revise documents with partners and customers. Share a link or simply create a shared file or folder with an individual or group to allow them to view, download, and upload new files and versions from their web browser or mobile app. Content owners can manage access by adding or removing users from the share or by deleting the share.

IT CONTROLS TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED SHARING IT can ensure sensitive business data remains safe by using customized policies to limit who can share data. Commvault software brings corporate data back into IT control while maintaining the ease of use your end users demand, without sacrificing the ability to manage the content being shared within corporate guidelines and away from unsecure, consumer-oriented cloud file sharing services.
