NetApp Enhances Enterprise-Grade Security Through Strategic Partnership with Commvault

NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company (NASDAQ: NTAP), today announced a strategic partnership with Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in enterprise-wide, integrated cyber resilience, to deliver a powerful, integrated solution that enhances enterprise-grade data security and cyber resilience.

This solution provides customers with peace of mind by ensuring data is always available, recoverable, and immutable, enabling cyber resilience, security, and rapid recovery across both on-premises and cloud environments.

Enterprises are currently rebuilding their cyber resilience strategies to navigate an AI-driven world. As analytics, AI, video, and IoT workloads rapidly expand, unstructured, mission-critical data is growing at an unprecedented scale. In this environment, a reactive approach to cyber resilience is insufficient. Recovery from ransomware and other cyber threats demands speed, automation, and fundamental safety. Furthermore, enterprise-scale cyber resilience is no longer an option but a critical requirement to support compliance, business continuity, and competitive advantage.

This partnership addresses the critical need to scale 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-grade data platform and AI-driven ransomware detection, 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, validated, enterprise-scale recovery workflows. This approach helps optimize Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and realize a "Resilience Operations (ResOps)" strategy that is more proactive against cyber threats.

By implementing NetApp's AI-powered ransomware auto-protection feature, "NetApp ONTAP® Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARP/AI)," on primary storage and integrating it with Commvault's threat-detection-aware backup and Synthetic Recovery capabilities, rapid and reliable recovery is achieved while minimizing data loss. This supports stable system operations even in critical situations. Furthermore, this solution contributes to early business resumption and reduced downtime costs by shortening rollback times and improving data integrity.

Moving forward, joint development will focus on leveraging NetApp ONTAP's restore technology as a recovery destination to further reduce data loss and enhance recovery speed.

Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology Officer & Chief AI Officer at Commvault, stated: "The first step in building cyber resilience for organizations is the ability to recover with reliability and speed. Through our partnership with NetApp, we can detect threats lurking near data at an early stage and make reliable recovery decisions, enabling rapid, clean, and complete data recovery even in large-scale environments. Customers can move forward with innovation with the confidence that their data and business cyber resilience will be maintained, regardless of disruptive events."
