Commvault Cloud Rewind restores data and rebuilds entire cloud applications, including infrastructure, configurations, and dependencies. According to Commvault, the solution covers 62 percent of business-critical Azure resource types.
Manually rebuilding a cloud environment after an attack or outage is slow and error-prone. Cloud Rewind automates that process. The software continuously identifies cloud resources, maps dependencies between applications, and orchestrates recovery from a single platform.
Commvault’s expansion today focuses specifically on Microsoft Azure. Protection is increased by a factor of three. In addition, organizations can test in advance whether their recovery plan works through recovery simulations in isolated, air-gapped environments.
Protection groups and policies at scale
In addition to the Azure expansion, two other updates are coming. Protection Groups bring application data and cloud configuration together into a single air-gapped recovery experience, so teams no longer need to piece together disparate tools. Furthermore, administrators can use policy-based protection to automatically register discovered resources based on tag, region, and type, across multiple cloud environments.
Commvault claims that with Cloud Rewind, it can restore an entire Azure account with 18 subscriptions and multiple applications in less than 36 minutes. According to the documentation, this restoration is performed via so-called Cloud Assemblies, in which administrators select a timeline and configure restoration options, such as region and network configuration, for each resource.
“Modern applications depend on interconnected cloud services, infrastructure, and configurations that must be recovered together,” says Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Commvault.
Cloud Rewind is available as an add-on within Commvault Cloud. Comprehensive Azure protection will follow in the coming months. Pricing is based on the number of protected cloud resources.
