Commvault Unveils Groundbreaking Cloud Platform for Cyber Resilience in Hybrid Enterprises

Commvault has introduced Commvault Cloud, powered by Metallic AI, a cutting-edge platform that’s revolutionizing how IT and security teams can bolster cyber resilience in an era plagued by non-stop ransomware and cyberattacks.

Commvault Cloud unites all of the company’s SaaS and software offerings into a single platform that offers holistic visibility and control through a unified dashboard. However, this platform goes beyond standard cloud solutions. It is purpose-built to enhance cyber resilience, empowering users to swiftly predict threats, execute clean recoveries, and expedite threat responses while maintaining the lowest possible total cost of ownership. The unique architecture of Commvault Cloud enables customers to secure and recover their data across any workload, infrastructure, and location.

The demand for modern cyber resilience has never been more pressing. A protracted recovery from a cyberattack can significantly damage an organization’s brand reputation and customer loyalty. According to a recent IDC study involving over 500 IT Operations and Security Operations (ITOps and SecOps) professionals, 59% anticipate that cyber recovery could take days or even weeks, which is unacceptable when striving to keep businesses operational.

Sanjay Mirchandani, President and CEO of Commvault, emphasized the need for a holistic approach that encompasses data protection, security, AI-driven data intelligence, and rapid recovery. He declared that with these advanced capabilities and a growing partner ecosystem, Commvault’s consolidated platform sets the new standard in cyber resilience.

Advancing Cyber Resilience and Data Intelligence with AI and Commvault Cloud

Commvault is introducing innovations aimed at unlocking the full potential of AI to enhance cyber resilience. Unlike others who merely use AI to generate content, Commvault leverages AI to facilitate user action.

Commvault Cloud offers access to “Arlie,” short for “Autonomous Resilience,” an AI co-pilot that is available around the clock to provide plain, simple language responses to user inquiries. Behind the scenes, Arlie interfaces with generative AI models that consolidate information and provide users with personalized actionable responses. For instance, users can employ Arlie to verify or validate a clean recovery point for critical systems or generate code upon request.

Arlie’s backend integration with Azure OpenAI Service supports AI-enabled capabilities within Commvault Cloud, including:

• Active Insights: Real-time threat analysis and report summaries that present the latest information on cyber resilience, eliminating the need to sift through filters and reports.
• Code Assistance: A “no-code” method for building integrations or coding actions. Users describe their needs, and the code assistant generates the code instantly.
• Custom Walk-throughs: Context-sensitive, guided product walk-throughs that simplify setting up, customizing, and configuring Commvault Cloud.
• Root Cause Remediation: Continuous monitoring of Commvault Cloud’s performance using generative AI to identify issues and offer real-time optimization recommendations.

Commvault is also unveiling AI and security enhancements embedded directly into Commvault Cloud, providing intelligent insights as part of daily workflows. These include:

• Advanced Threat Prediction: Real-time predictive threat analysis to identify AI-driven ransomware, including shape-shifting AI malware, before they impact customers’ backups.
• Cloudburst Recovery: Improves business continuity by leveraging infrastructure-as-code and cloud-scaling for automated, rapid, and seamless data recovery to any location.

Jennifer Glenn, Research Director for IDC Security and Trust Group, emphasized the importance of modern, AI-supported cyber resilience in a world where organizations rely heavily on digital data to maintain efficient operations and functional customer services.

Enhancing Clean Recoveries with Commvault Cloud and Microsoft Azure

Commvault is introducing Cleanroom Recovery, a service that, in collaboration with Microsoft Azure, allows customers to recover to a cleanroom in the cloud rapidly. This service is invaluable for incident response testing and ensures swift, reliable recoveries.

Introducing Platinum Resilience

Commvault is launching Platinum Resilience, a fully managed service designed to provide unparalleled protection, engagement, and responsiveness to cybersecurity threats and disaster situations. This service encompasses a wide range of features, from enterprise-grade backup and recovery to advanced AI-driven automation, cybersecurity readiness, and more. Platinum Resilience offers a dedicated, secured, isolated control plane, along with a 24/7 ransomware readiness and response team, ensuring comprehensive hybrid data protection and resilience with the ease of the cloud.

Commvault is so confident in the capabilities of Platinum Resilience that it comes with the Commvault Protection Warranty, guaranteeing recovery from a cyberattack.

Ushering Opportunities for Customers on Oracle Cloud Marketplace

Commvault is also enabling customers to access the power of Commvault Cloud through private offers on the Oracle Cloud Marketplace. This integration allows customers to procure and provision tested Commvault solutions directly from the Oracle Cloud Marketplace.
