In today’s volatile digital environment, organizations face an escalating threat from cyberattacks that can cripple operations for weeks. Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a prominent name in cyber resilience and data protection, is addressing this critical challenge head-on with its innovative solutions. The company’s Commvault Cleanroom Recovery and Commvault Cloud Rewind platforms are demonstrating a profound impact on how businesses prepare for and rebound from disruptive incidents, a fact substantiated by a recent economic validation study from the Enterprise Strategy Group.
The traditional recovery process following a major cyber event is notoriously slow, often stretching to 24 days of debilitating downtime. Commvault’s technology fundamentally alters this reality. Cleanroom Recovery provides a secure, isolated cloud environment where companies can safely test their recovery strategies and perform actual data restoration, all while conducting essential forensic analysis. Complementing this, Cloud Rewind offers the capability to restore not just data, but the entire cloud application ecosystem that depends on it, ensuring comprehensive business continuity.
An independent analysis reveals staggering improvements for organizations utilizing Commvault’s approach. The findings highlight a 99% reduction in recovery times and a 94% acceleration in rebuilding cloud infrastructure. Furthermore, companies reported a 30-fold increase in testing frequency alongside a 99% decrease in the time required for testing procedures. These metrics translate into tangible operational resilience and significant cost savings.
Nathan McAfee, Principal Economic Validation Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, emphasized the significance of these results. “Across multiple industries, Commvault has demonstrably solved critical recoverability challenges. Achieving near-instantaneous data recovery and infrastructure rebuilds, with the paramount assurance of zero data loss, provides a level of confidence that is accelerating customer adoption. This capability allows businesses to swiftly return to a state of minimum viability after an incident.”
Customer testimonials underscore the practical benefits. Nate Hauenstein, IT Global Infrastructure & Operations Director at Chart Industries, Inc., shared a compelling comparison. “Where restoration once took over seven hours, we now achieve recovery for select systems in approximately twelve minutes. This dramatic improvement drastically minimizes our operational risk and solidifies our trust in Commvault’s cyber resilience.”
The partnership aspect of Commvault’s service also receives high praise. Dean Dang, Director of Enterprise Applications and Services Technology Solutions at the University of Illinois Chicago, noted, “We collaborate with over a hundred vendors, but Commvault stands apart by treating us as genuine partners. Our quarterly reviews to examine recoverability plans are a unique and invaluable practice.”
A diverse range of organizations, from critical infrastructure providers and academic institutions to energy corporations and public sector entities, leverage Commvault’s unique solutions. They report slashing recovery times, confidently testing cyber recovery plans in a cost-effective manner, and resuming operations with unprecedented speed after an attack.
Govind Rangasamy, Head of Recovery Solutions at Commvault, stated, “This validation confirms that cyber resilience is an achievable operational standard. Our tools empower customers to enhance their readiness and execute rapid recoveries of the cloud applications that are fundamental to their business operations.”
The efficiency gains are further explained by Venkata Sudhakar Nagandla, SVP & Global Head-IT Infrastructure & Cloud at Allcargo Group Companies. “Recovery with Cloud Rewind is exponentially faster than traditional physical disaster recovery. The automation of complex tasks allows our team to focus on diagnosing the root cause of downtime rather than being consumed by the mechanics of restoration.”
The complete Commvault Cloud platform, featuring both Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind, is currently available through major cloud marketplaces, including those of Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
For a deeper exploration of these transformative capabilities, a recent on-demand webinar, “Cracking the Code: Recover 99% Faster From Cyber Attacks,” offers detailed insights. The session features analysis from Enterprise Strategy Group’s Nathan McAfee, alongside experts from Microsoft and Commvault, discussing the study’s compelling findings.
