Commvault forms partnership with Kyndryl

Commvault has formed a partnership with Kyndryl to help customers recover faster, advance cyber resilience, and navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.  

The collaboration with Commvault will augment Kyndryl’s portfolio of cyber resiliency services, which encompasses Incident Recovery Services, including Cyber Incident Recovery, Managed Backup Services, and Hybrid Platform Recovery. 

Under the established partnership, Commvault and Kyndryl will collaborate with Pure Storage to assist organisations in complying with evolving and rigorous regulations, including the European Union’s DORA, NIS2, PSD2, as well as NYDFS NYCRR 500 and Australia’s APRA CPS 230. The companies will showcase their services at the Pure//Accelerate Conference in Las Vegas from June 17 to 19. 

“Cyber preparedness is no longer regarded as optional for global organisations; it is mandatory,” stated Allen Downs, Vice President of Security and Resiliency Services at Kyndryl. “Through this collaboration with Commvault and Pure Storage, we are further positioned to assist some of the world’s most esteemed organisations in completely redefining their data protection strategies.” 

“Our partnership with Kyndryl is built to address the biggest challenges facing the enterprise today, such as the persistent threat of cyberattacks, including ransomware, and the increasing complexity of managing massive data growth across multi-cloud environments,” said Alan Atkinson, Chief Partner Officer at Commvault. “When combined with the innovative Pure Storage platform, the three companies are together helping organisations stay resilient and prepared to act decisively in the face of disruption.” 

The services from Commvault and Pure Storage deliver a modular, four-layer architecture that streamlines the compliance process and accelerates recovery across hybrid cloud environments: 

• Cyber Resilient Vault: An isolated, immutable data vault built on zero-trust principles, protecting backup data from unauthorised access and corruption. 

• Clean Recovery Zone: A secure environment for forensic analysis, validation of clean backups, and staged recovery operations. 

• Production Rapid Restore: Fast, reliable restoration of large datasets using Pure Storage FlashBlade™, with immutability powered by S3 Object Lock and SafeMode™. 

• Immutable Snapshot Recovery: Application-consistent snapshot replication with Commvault IntelliSnap® and Pure Storage FlashArray™, enabling rapid restoration of Tier-1 workloads. 

“As regulatory frameworks like DORA set higher standards for operational resilience, organisations are implementing strategies that integrate regulatory compliance with the ability to recover swiftly from cyber disruption,” said Maciej Kranz, General Manager, Enterprise at Pure Storage. “Together with Commvault and Kyndryl, we’re delivering advanced security features and a scalable foundation of layered resilience that helps organisations meet these mandates and restore critical operations quickly and reliably.” 

The offerings provided by Commvault and Pure Storage facilitate automated and continuous testing for cyber recovery. This includes support for Commvault Cleanroom™ Recovery within both public cloud environments and on-premises isolated recovery environments managed by Kyndryl. Clients have the capability to validate their recovery processes and support compliance with DORA Chapter II (Risk Management), Chapter IV (Operational Resilience Testing), as well as other relevant regulations.
