NetApp G.K. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Chiharu Saito) - NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), an intelligent data infrastructure company, announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in integrated cyber resilience at enterprise scale, to provide a powerful integrated solution that enhances enterprise-grade data security and cyber resilience.
This solution provides customers with peace of mind by ensuring continuous data availability, recoverability, and immutability, achieving cyber resilience, security, and rapid recovery in on-premise and cloud environments.
Enterprises are currently rebuilding their cyber resilience strategies to adapt to an AI-driven world. With the rapid expansion of analytics, AI, video, and IoT-related workloads, unstructured and critical data is growing at an unprecedented scale. In such circumstances, reactive responses to cyber resilience are insufficient. Recovery from ransomware and other cyber threats requires speed, automation, and fundamental security. Furthermore, at an enterprise scale, supporting compliance, business continuity, and competitive advantage through cyber resilience is no longer an option but an indispensable requirement.
This partnership addresses the critical need to expand the scale of cyber resilience through integrated cyber threat detection and rapid recovery from attacks. By combining Commvault's industry-leading cyber resilience, protection, and recovery capabilities with NetApp's intelligent enterprise data platform and AI-driven ransomware detection features, a highly differentiated end-to-end cyber resilience solution is realized.
## Closed-Loop Recovery Architecture with "NetApp ONTAP® Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP/AI)"
Through this partnership, NetApp and Commvault will jointly offer a "closed-loop recovery architecture" that combines early ransomware detection with automated and validated enterprise-scale recovery workflows. This approach optimizes the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and supports the implementation of a "Resilience Operations (ResOps)" strategy that responds more proactively to cyber threats.
By implementing NetApp's AI-powered autonomous ransomware protection feature, "NetApp ONTAP® Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP/AI)," in primary storage and linking it with Commvault's threat detection-enabled backup functions and Synthetic Recovery, rapid and reliable recovery is achieved while minimizing data loss. This supports stable system operations even in critical situations. Furthermore, this solution contributes to faster rollback times and improved data integrity, leading to earlier business resumption and reduced downtime costs.
Moving forward, joint development will continue to leverage NetApp ONTAP's restore technology as a recovery destination, aiming for further reduction in data loss and even faster recovery speeds.
Pranay Ahlawat, Commvault's Chief Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer (CTO & CAIO), commented: "The first step in building cyber resilience for organizations is reliable and fast recovery capability. Through our partnership with NetApp, we can detect threats lurking near data at an early stage and achieve rapid, clean, and complete data recovery even in large-scale environments with highly reliable recovery decisions. Customers can innovate with confidence, knowing that their data and business cyber resilience will be maintained under any disruptive circumstances."
