Commvault Private Cloud Software Suite Provides Cloud Resiliency
Commvault engaged the Cloud Field Day 23 delegates today, sharing their vision for cloud data resilience with a full-solution stack of security solutions. If you’re not familiar with the company, they have been providing security solutions since 1996 when they spun out of ATT labs and have an established reputation as a leader in the cloud security arena.
Michael Fasulo, Commvault’s senior director of product management, walked us through the stack, starting with a discussion on operational compliance with a focus on minimizing organizational attack surfaces as well as resilience for operational recovery from infrastructure failures, natural disasters, and human error.
Once operational compliance is in place, Commvault extends to address cyber resilience. This protects from infrastructure breaches as well as placing early warning systems for cyber deceptions constantly present within organizational risks.
Finally, Commvault addresses recovery from successful security breaches, starting with measuring indicators of compromise and extending to cleanroom recovery, a cloud-based isolated recovery environment (IRE), keeping compromised areas of the cloud isolated from the rest of the organization.
This suite has set Commvault apart from competitors given the end-to-end nature of their support, all fueled with Metallic AI, traditional machine learning that has been embedded in the platform for years. Michael also talked about how Commvault is resilient across operating environments, extending data protection from on-prem cloud into public cloud instances, including deep support for software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, and to the edge.
The big question in my head is how this landscape is being impacted by GenAI. Michael explained that organizations are most threatened from new threats from GenAI-based exploits by not having a good hold on what data they’ve got across the cloud landscape. He starts working with customers to get a foundational view of what data is present; where it’s stored across public, on prem, and edge; and what threat levels different data represent to the organizations. Commvault offers unique tools within their data compliance suite to establish this foundation, something equally useful from quantum attacks.
The TechArena Take – Commvault Is a No-Brainer for Enterprise
So what’s the TechArena take? Part of the conversation today focused on the sheer number of SaaS software present within IT organizations, with a majority of enterprises tapping 25+ solutions to run their businesses. Managing across software environments creates complexity to IT oversight, and this is no different within the security space, making Commvault a very strong option given the end-to-end suite of core capabilities. Add the flexibility of single-pane-of-glass oversight across on-prem, public, and edge operations, integration of cloud-native protection and recovery, and front-footed AI integration, and it’s clear that Commvault has a winning solution for the market. I’d like to hear more on where they are investing next, as the threat landscape is shifting fast across quantum and AI threat advancement.
