Commvault delivers the full Commvault Cloud cyber resilience platform on AWS, including Cleanroom Recovery, Commvault SaaS Offerings, Air Gap Protect, and Cloud Rewind

LONDON , Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- COMMVAULT SHIFT -- Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced that the Commvault^® Cloud cyber resilience platform will be available on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The Commvault Cloud platform, including its widely deployed SaaS offerings (formerly known as Metallic), will provide AWS customers with cutting-edge solutions for automating data protection, advancing cyber recovery, and simplifying the cloud application rebuild process following a cyberattack.

Today, more organizations are embracing a cloud-first approach where cyber resilience is key. In fact, 73% of all new data will be stored in the cloud¹. Commvault's announcement provides organizations with even more options for building resilience on the secure AWS Cloud. Offerings that will be available to AWS customers include:

• Cloud Rewind: Based on Appranix technology, Cloud Rewind acts as an AWS time machine. This cloud-native offering lets organizations "rewind" to the last clean copy of their data, recover that data, and automate the cloud application rebuild process so that businesses can get back to normal in minutes versus hours, days, weeks, or months.

• Cyber Resilience for Amazon S3: Through its recent acquisition of Clumio, Commvault will be introducing new technology in the coming months that will also bring time machine capabilities to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) customers. In the event of an attack, this technology will allow Amazon S3 customers to revert rapidly back to a clean copy of data that has not been infiltrated with malware. At a time when many companies are storing very large datasets in Amazon S3, including AI and ML datasets, this advancement will represent an important opportunity to further cyber resilience in the AI era.
• Air Gap Protect: This critical last line of defense offering will provide AWS customers with immutable, isolated copies of data in a Commvault tenant, as a service. This offering joins Commvault's current capabilities for backup and protection in customer-owned tenants. This gives AWS customers another way to keep their data safe and resilient.
• Cleanroom Recovery: Commvault is extending the power of Cleanroom Recovery to AWS. When attacked, this technology will allow organizations to automatically provision recovery infrastructure, allowing recovery to an isolated location in AWS and rapidly restore production workloads. Customers can also conduct forensics in this clean and safe location. The beauty of Cleanroom Recovery is that it also enables IT and security teams to frequently and fully test their cyber recovery plans in advance so that they know when they are hit, they can recover quickly.

Building on a Strong Foundation

Vast numbers of customers already utilize Commvault to protect data stored on AWS. In fact, in the last year alone, Commvault has backed up exabytes of data to AWS targets. And, with today's announcements – including offering the full Commvault Cloud platform on AWS – Commvault expects that number to grow significantly.

Availability at Your Fingertips

Commvault's suite of solutions for AWS will be generally available in the coming months. Following availability, joint customers will be able to access these solutions in AWS Marketplace.
