Bangalore, October 18, 2007 - CommVault® (NASD: CVLT) today announced that it has
added the SimpanaT 7.0 software suite of products to its OEM agreement with Hitachi
Data Systems Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT),
for CommVault's industry-leading data protection software suite, CommVault SimpanaT
7.0. Available immediately from Hitachi as the new Hitachi Data Protection Suite 7.0
Powered by CommVault®, this software is a powerful solution designed to improve the
performance, availability and security of enterprise customers' data storage assets,
while reducing storage complexity, administrative overhead and operating costs.
Today\'s news marks an extension to the existing worldwide OEM agreement the
companies forged in March, 2005.

Commenting on today's announcement, John Mansfield, senior vice president, Global
Solutions Strategy and Development, Hitachi Data Systems said, "Building on the
worldwide success of our partnership with CommVault, we are delivering an integrated
solution that represents the combined synergies of Hitachi's industry-leading
storage systems and CommVault's sophisticated data protection software. The Hitachi
Data Protection Suite 7.0 enables enterprise customers to securely store, manage and
retrieve their business-critical data, and ensures that valuable resources are
focused on the business rather than managing storage environments."

The Hitachi Data Protection Suite 7.0 Powered by CommVault®
Regulatory compliance and mitigating exposure to risk are two of the most pressing
requirements facing IT organizations today. The Hitachi Data Protection Suite 7.0
offers several advanced capabilities to align with these important business
priorities including smart client back-up, enterprise-wide search and discovery,
single instance store (SIS), high-performance content indexing, data classification,
expanded security and advanced encryption features. Unlike competitive point
products, the Hitachi Data Protection Suite 7.0 is a truly integrated software
solution that enables customers to gain greater visibility across their entire
storage environment, including backup, archive and online data assets, which vastly
improves storage utilization, service level agreements, and risk management.

Leveraging the advanced functionality of Hitachi storage systems, the Hitachi Data
Protection Suite 7.0 benefits customers by delivering snapshot-assisted backup,
snapshot management and rapid data movement, which improves data availability while
also dramatically lowering management expenditures.

"CommVault's Simpana 7.0 software suite is a bold step forward in helping transform
the way users access, leverage and interact with corporate data," said David West,
CommVault's vice president of business development and marketing. "With the new
features and disk-based enhancements in CommVault Simpana, Hitachi Data Protection
Suite 7.0 can help IT professionals address the issues behind the growing cost and
complexity of their storage environments. Our relationship with Hitachi Data Systems
allows us to jointly expand our leadership in this market."

As a leading provider of systems and software solutions targeting patient safety and
operational efficiency in healthcare facilities, Omnicell, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMCL)
utilizes the Hitachi Data Protection Suite 7.0 to protect and manage its data stored
on Hitachi storage systems.

"Our goal is to streamline access to our corporate data and provide consistency,
security and high levels of reliability while maximizing our IT resources and
budget," said Jorge Taborga, vice president and CIO, Omnicell. "Hitachi Data
Protection Suite 7.0 will continue to help us improve the availability of our data."
