Commvault Launches Cloud Rewind - Transforming How Cloud-First Organizations Rapidly Recover After a Cyberattack
New discovery, reporting, recovery, and rebuild capabilities can help customers bounce back following an attack
LONDON, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- COMMVAULT SHIFT -- Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced the availability of Cloud Rewind(TM) on the Commvault Cloud platform. This unique offering, which integrates cloud-native distributed application recovery and rebuild capabilities from the Appranix acquisition, gives cloud-first organizations a secret weapon to transform their cyber resilience capabilities.
Today, when organizations are attacked, restoring the data is only half the battle. The truly laborious task is actually restoring the distributed cloud applications, which are used to run and power that data.
Think of it like this: a typical enterprise organization may use as many as 371(1) cloud applications spanning various services like finance, HR, and operations. After an attack, organizations often can't resume "business-as-usual" operations until many of those applications are rebuilt in a step-by-step, systematic, time-consuming way. The majority of enterprises report that it takes more than a week to return to normal operations, according to Commvault's latest research. That's too long. But, with Cloud Rewind, that's all changing.
Cloud Rewind offers a truly unique approach that transforms and simplifies cloud cyber recoveries. It's designed to quickly restore an organization's entire cloud application and data environment - including all the necessary cloud infrastructure configurations - in a highly automated way. By combining data recovery - the sole focus of traditional data protection tools - with cloud-native application and infrastructure rebuild automation, Cloud Rewind helps customers get back to business within minutes after a cloud services outage or ransomware attack, akin to a "cloud time machine."
Advanced Cloud Rewind Capabilities
Cloud Rewind introduces an advanced set of unique capabilities designed to help businesses bounce back from cyber incidents with exceptional speed and efficiency.
-- Reduce organizational risk with resource discovery: automatically
identifies and catalogs all cloud components in use, offering full
visibility into what assets need protection and recovery. So that
nothing critical is missed in the recovery process, even in complex,
multi-cloud environments.
-- Reduce operational confusion and toil with app-centric dependency
mapping: analyzes and defines the intricate relationships between
various cloud components. This feature accelerates the task of piecing
these dependencies together after an incident, making the rebuild
process much faster. So, when a system is restored, all connected
resources and services are aligned, with little to no human involvement.
-- Keep security teams in-sync with drift analysis: helps return restored
systems to their correct state by identifying and correcting any
deviations (or "drifts") from the original configuration. This proactive
capability keeps tabs so that restored systems are aligned with their
secure and functional state after an incident.
-- Automated cyber recovery testing with Recovery-as-Code: captures not
only the data but also the full map of applications, infrastructure, and
networking configurations. This means that systems can be restored with
their complete operational blueprint intact, reducing guesswork for a
thorough recovery.
-- Avoid wasting cloud resources with on-demand cloud reconstruction: puts
it all back together, helping customers swiftly rebuild both the data
environment and its supporting infrastructure. This provides
organizations with a secure and operational cloud environment, ready for
immediate use following a disruption.
-- Integrated application-centric cyber recovery and disaster recovery:
Cloud Rewind integrates with Commvault Cloud data resilience
capabilities to help organizations rapidly recover from short-term
failures to debilitating cyber-attacks with a few clicks.
Cloud Rewind supports all major public and private cloud platforms, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure, for true customer cloud choice.
Cyber Resilience Dashboard
Complementing Commvault's cloud-native rebuild technology is its new Cyber Resilience Dashboard. This dashboard provides continuous ransomware readiness assessments that make it easy for organizations to understand where they have gaps in their resilience plans. It also delivers actionable insights to improve resilience and recovery readiness. The dashboard provides a view across the entire data estate, assessing components such as testing frequency and success, and availability of immutable air-gapped copies of critical data. Leveraging that information, organizations receive a grade based on their readiness to recover and recommendations on improving it.

market today. In the ransomware era, recovering data is important, but
it's table stakes," said Brian Brockway, CTO, Commvault. "We're ushering
in an entirely new chapter in cyber resilience that not only expedites
data recovery, but recovery of cloud applications. This is the gold
standard in recovery for a cloud-first world."

case of a cybersecurity incident," said Melinda Marks, Practice
Director, Cybersecurity, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Its resource
discovery, dependency mapping, drift analysis, and automated cloud
reconstruction capabilities provide much-needed relief for teams to save
them from the intricate and time-consuming process of rebuilding their
applications. For enterprises managing hundreds of cloud services, this
is a huge advantage for minimizing downtime after a breach."
