“Modern applications depend on interconnected cloud services, infrastructure, and configurations that must be recovered together,” said Pranay Ahlawat, chief technology and AI officer, Commvault. “Cloud Rewind helps organisations recover cloud applications through a unified experience in Commvault Cloud, increasing customers’ confidence in their ability to recover following a cyberattack or outage.”

Expanded Cloud Rewind coverage

The enhancement expands Azure resource coverage threefold, now supporting 62% of enterprise-relevant Azure resource types available in the market. It aims to empower organisations to recover entire cloud applications faster after cyberattacks or outages.

Cloud Rewind continuously discovers cloud resources, maps application dependencies, and orchestrates application recovery from a single platform. It also enables organisations to test recovery readiness through application recovery simulations, including in isolated, air-gapped environment.

Additional enhancements include deeper integration into Commvault backup and recovery, and more advanced policies for at-scale protection.

Melinda Marks, senior research director and chief analyst, Omdia, said: “As applications and their associated cloud resources become more complex, organisations need an effective way to rapidly recover, with restoration capabilities across configurations, dependencies, and multiple cloud platforms.”

Availability

Cloud Rewind is available as an add-on workload within Commvault Cloud, with pricing based on the number of protected cloud resources. The expanded Azure protection is expected to become available in the coming months.
