TINTON FALLS, NJ - April 29, 2024 - Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, is announcing a new era in cleanroom technology.
Via its groundbreaking Commvault® Cloud Cleanroom™Recovery offering, the company is transforming - from every vantage point - what recovery looks like in the modern world:
A cleanroom is an isolated recovery environment that is frequently used for secure cyber recovery scenarios. However, traditional cleanrooms are often resource-intensive, requiring organizations to maintain duplicative environments for every critical application across every server and every location. Many organizations simply can't afford to do this.
Additionally, many companies don't have the time, money, or staff required to test all the interdependencies across these types of hybrid environments to know they can recover when attacked. If they can test, and it fails, they often don't have the resources to test again. This leaves organizations unpracticed, vulnerable, and at the mercy of bad actors. Commvault is solving these problems.
The Cleanroom Concept Reimagined
Commvault has reimagined the cleanroom from the ground up.
First, Cleanroom Recovery is being extended to support Commvault's SaaS customers*. This deployment option democratizes the technology so that companies of all sizes can benefit from the offering. Second, the cleanroom is being hosted in the cloud. When bad actors strike, Cleanroom Recovery is designed to orchestrate recovery into a clean, isolated location in Microsoft Azure. Customers can do this on-demand and only pay for it when they use it. Third, Cleanroom Recovery uniquely gives organizations the ability to rapidly and regularly test and, if necessary, retest their cyber recovery plans with ease across their IT infrastructure.
"With disaster recovery, testing your recovery strategy once a year was fine. For example, with a natural disaster, you didn't have to worry about bad actors infiltrating your systems. You just needed to be able to recover. Now, with AI-driven attacks, threat vectors change by the hour. The need to not only test your recovery frequently but know you have a clean place to recover in the cloud has never been more important," said Brian Brockway, CTO, Commvault.
Cleanroom Recovery provides numerous benefits.

With Cleanroom Recovery, customers also benefit from the Commvault Cloud platform, powered by Metallic AI. Commvault Cloud meets the most stringent global security standards and is currently the only FedRAMP High In Process data protection platform. The platform's unique architecture enables customers to secure and recover their data, across any workload, and from any location to any location. And, in the future, via its recent Appranix acquisition, Cleanroom customers will be able to uniquely blend risk, readiness, and recovery capabilities provided by Commvault with cloud application rebuild capabilities provided by Appranix.
"Enterprises need to think about their cyber preparedness strategy, including protecting mission critical assets via secure and air-gapped backups and the ability to recover fast," said Aung Oo, General Manager, Azure Storage, Microsoft. "Commvault Cloud Cleanroom Recovery augments air-gapped data protection built on Azure with fast and secure recovery. It enables customers to test their resilience plans, and when necessary, recover to a trusted, clean, isolated location in Microsoft Azure. The clean and isolated copy also enables forensics for auditors and insurers and gives organizations a tremendous advantage in the fight against ransomware and other cyber threats."
"As cyberthreats grow in frequency and sophistication, global enterprises recognize the need to bolster their defenses with proactive security measures that safeguard not just their data, but the entirety of their business operations," said Mark Bridges, Sr. Director, Strategic Alliances, Pure Storage. "Pure Storage and Commvault share a deep commitment to empower customers in navigating this journey with confidence, prioritizing rapid recovery that supports comprehensive data protection. We're thrilled to see the launch of Commvault Cloud Cleanroom Recovery and look forward to our continued partnership to foster a future where businesses thrive securely."
"Our research shows that ransomware and cyberattacks in general are an existential risk for the vast majority of organizations. In an environment where ransomware and AI-driven cyberattacks are increasingly sophisticated, Commvault Cleanroom Recovery critically enables organizations to maintain operational integrity through a continuous loop of testing and constant adaptation," said Christophe Bertrand, Practice Director, Enterprise Strategy Group. "This solution not only meets the critical need for resilience but evolves with it."
