As I sit down to write about my experience at the recent Commvault SHIFT event in London, I am struck by the significance of the company’s shift from a Data Protection company to a Cyber Resilience company. This change in focus reflects the growing importance of cybersecurity in today’s digital landscape, and Commvault’s commitment to helping organizations mitigate cyber risk effectively.

At the event, I had the opportunity to learn more about Commvault’s unique approach to cyber resilience, which centers around the concept of Cleanroom Recovery. This comprehensive testing and failover offering provides a safe and isolated environment for organizations to test their backups and ensure the integrity of their data.

Cleanroom Recovery is an essential tool for any organization looking to protect itself against cyber threats. With this offering, Commvault customers can automate the recovery of their control plane, integrate with a tertiary copy of data in Air-gap Protect, and use a streamlined, easy-to-use recovery wizard to provide clean and easy restores in a new uncontaminated Microsoft Azure tenant.

The key capabilities of Cleanroom Recovery that impressed me include the ability to restore an environment or single application to a cloud environment, effectively testing backups by building an air gapped environment. Additionally, Commvault’s automation allows for continual testing of recovery, ensuring that backups are 100% reliable. Furthermore, the automation can perform a number of tests for you, including running production from the cloud or restoring to the cloud should you question the integrity of your data.

I believe that Cleanroom Recovery is the killer app in Commvault’s arsenal that every organization will find a use for. This offering provides a comprehensive solution for cyber resilience, enabling organizations to continually test and validate their backups, ensuring that they are ready to recover from any cyber attack or data loss.

In conclusion, my experience at the Commvault SHIFT event in London has left me with a deeper understanding of the importance of cyber resilience and the role that Cleanroom Recovery plays in helping organizations mitigate cyber risk effectively. I highly recommend that all organizations consider investing in this essential tool to ensure their data is protected and their business can continue to operate in the face of any cyber threat.
