Commvault Transforms Cyber Recoveries

Recent analyst data shows that amid rising cyber threats, customers rely on Commvault Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind to slash recovery times and verify preparedness

TINTON FALLS, N.J., Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced that its transformative offerings, Commvault® Cleanroom Recovery and Commvault® Cloud Rewind™, are having a significant impact on customers fighting the onslaught of cyberattacks and other outages. The Enterprise Strategy Group's, "Analyzing the Economic Benefits of Commvault Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind," validates that impact.

Recovering from an attack is a lengthy ordeal, with organizations reporting it could take up to 24 days to recover from a major cyber event.¹ Commvault is transforming that, in part, with its offerings designed to reduce downtime and maintain business continuity. Cleanroom Recovery enables companies to test recovery plans and perform recoveries in a clean, isolated cloud environment where forensics can also be performed. Cloud Rewind allows companies to recover not only their data but also the entire cloud application ecosystem supporting that data.

Top Findings from the Report
The study² found that with Commvault, customers achieved remarkable improvements in their ability to prepare for and recover from cyber events. Key statistics include:

• Reduced recovery times by 99%
• 94% faster rebuilds of cloud infrastructure
• Improved testing frequency by 30 times
• Reduced testing time by 99%

"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," according to Nathan McAfee, Principal Economic Validation Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "This confidence of recovery has become a major catalyst in customer adoption of both Commvault Cloud's Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind, leading to accelerated cloud adoption for organizations, enabling them to rapidly restore to minimum viability following a cyber incident and operate in a state of continuous business."

Customers are quick to point out how these offerings have changed the game within their own organizations.

"Knowing you can recover is one thing but knowing you can recover quickly and cleanly is on a whole other level," said Nate Hauenstein, IT Global Infrastructure & Operations Director, Chart Industries, Inc. "Before Commvault Cleanroom Recovery, restoration scenarios could take upwards of seven hours. For select systems, where we voluntarily introduced an additional step to integrate the latest hourly transaction backups and further tighten recovery points, we still achieve restoration in around 12 minutes. This drastic reduction minimizes operational risk and validates our trust in Commvault's ability to deliver true cyber resilience."

"We meet with Commvault quarterly to examine our recoverability plans and share best practices. None of our other IT vendors do this," said Dean Dang, Director, Enterprise Applications and Services Technology Solutions, University of Illinois Chicago. "We work with over 100 vendors; Commvault is absolutely at the top as far as treating us like partners."

Organizations – from critical infrastructure providers such as Chart Industries to academic institutions like the University of Illinois Chicago, and others such as Constellation Energy, Sedgwick County Division of Information & Operations, and Lombardia Informatica SpA – all leverage Commvault's unique approach to help slash recovery times, confidently test their cyber recovery plans cost-effectively, and resume operations faster, if necessary, after an attack.

"This Enterprise Strategy Group validation confirms what our customers already know: cyber resilience is no longer a theoretical exercise," said Govind Rangasamy, Head of Recovery Solutions & VP of Portfolio Marketing, Commvault. "With Cleanroom Recovery and Cloud Rewind, we not only help customers advance readiness within their organizations, but we help them accelerate recoveries of cloud applications following an attack – essential as it's often the cloud applications that power the data that drives the business."

"Recovery using Cloud Rewind is much faster than relying on physical DR because the solution automates many key tasks—from restoring data to replicating virtual 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," said Venkata Sudhakar Nagandla, SVP & Global Head-IT Infrastructure & Cloud, Allcargo Group Companies.
