Commvault has unveiled how its cyber resilience offerings, Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind, are helping organisations significantly reduce recovery times and better prepare for the growing risk of cyberattacks. The findings were validated by a new study from Enterprise Strategy Group titled “Analysing the Economic Benefits of Commvault Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind“.
Recovering from a major cyber event typically takes as long as 24 days, according to industry data. Commvault aims to change this by enabling companies to restore operations faster and more securely. Cleanroom Recovery provides an isolated cloud environment for testing recovery plans and conducting forensic investigations, while Cloud Rewind makes it possible to recover not only data but also the applications that run on top of it.
Report highlights significant improvements
The report revealed that customers using Commvault’s solutions experienced major gains in recoverability. Recovery times were cut by 99 per cent, rebuilds of cloud infrastructure were 94 per cent faster, testing frequency improved 30 times, and testing time dropped by 99 per cent.
Nathan McAfee, Principal Economic Validation Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, said, “With customer-reported and Enterprise Strategy Group-validated results across nine industries, we believe Commvault has cracked the code on recoverability, delivering 99% faster recovery of data and 94% faster rebuild of cloud infrastructure, and most impressively, with zero non-recoverable data.” He added that this level of confidence has driven greater customer adoption of Commvault’s technologies and accelerated cloud adoption overall.
Customer experiences show real-world impact
Organisations across industries have reported tangible improvements in resilience. At Chart Industries, IT Global Infrastructure & Operations Director Nate Hauenstein said that recovery times for certain systems had dropped from seven hours to just 12 minutes with Commvault Cleanroom Recovery. “Knowing you can recover is one thing but knowing you can recover quickly and cleanly is on a whole other level,” he said.
Dean Dang, Director of Enterprise Applications and Services Technology Solutions at the University of Illinois Chicago, praised Commvault’s collaborative approach. “We meet with Commvault quarterly to examine our recoverability plans and share best practices. None of our other IT vendors do this,” he said.
Other organisations, including Constellation Energy, Sedgwick County Division of Information & Operations, and Lombardia Informatica SpA, are also leveraging these tools to reduce downtime, test recovery more effectively, and resume operations quickly after attacks.
A stronger foundation for business continuity
Commvault executives highlighted how these solutions are reshaping organisational readiness. Govind Rangasamy, Head of Recovery Solutions and VP of Portfolio Marketing, said, “This Enterprise Strategy Group validation confirms what our customers already know: cyber resilience is no longer a theoretical exercise. With Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind, we not only help customers advance readiness within their organisations, but we help them accelerate recoveries of cloud applications following an attack.”
Venkata Sudhakar Nagandla, Senior Vice President and Global Head of IT Infrastructure & Cloud at Allcargo Group Companies, noted that Cloud Rewind automates critical steps such as restoring data and replicating network configurations. “This means we can spend more time uncovering the root causes of downtime, instead of focusing all our efforts in getting systems back online,” he said.
By reducing recovery times and strengthening preparedness, Commvault’s approach is positioning itself as a vital solution for enterprises seeking resilience against an increasingly hostile cyber landscape.
