Commvault Expands Google Cloud Support

Commvault Systems, Inc. announced an expanded relationship with Google Cloud with the launch of Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery for Google Workspace.

This new solution, which is targeted for availability by the end of 2024, will deliver end-to-end enterprise-grade protection for Gmail, Google Drive, and Shared Drives, helping to keep valuable data safe, compliant, and recoverable – all with the simplicity of SaaS. Commvault offers built-in Google Cloud Storage for Google Workspace protection while providing the broadest workload protection across SaaS, hybrid, and cloud native workloads.

Commvault’s Doubling Down on Google Cloud
With support for Google Workspace, Commvault will offer Google Cloud customers opportunities to safeguard their critical data with enhanced security, streamlined recovery processes, and scalable cloud solutions.

Benefits include:

• Protection: Workspace customers will be able to discover data recover from inadvertent or malicious data deletion, and maintain a copy of valuable data in the Commvault Cloud for compliance mandates.

• Multi-layered cyber resilience: With stringent security standards, privacy protocols, and zero-trust access controls built-in, Google Workspace customers will benefit from the multi-layer data protection provided by Commvault Cloud – which can help minimize the impact of cyberattacks and combat data loss threats.

• Simplicity of SaaS: Workspace customers will also enjoy the freedom Commvault Cloud provides. Commvault Cloud delivers data protection with the simplicity of SaaS, avoiding infrastructure and management overheads with subscription-based licensing including unlimited long-term retention.

Cloud-First Cyber Resilience
Commvault is further expanding its Google Cloud capabilities with Cloud Rewind, which integrates Appranix’s application rebuild capabilities into the Commvault Cloud platform, providing Google Cloud customers with an automated, cloud-native rebuild solution to recover from cyber incidents.

Earlier this year, Commvault announced support for object retention lock for Google Cloud Storage, providing customers with immutable cloud storage on Google Cloud’s infrastructure. Designed to be an unalterable object storage layer, this is another way that Commvault is offering customers a strong defense vs. ransomware.

“In today’s fast-paced, cloud-driven world, having seamless data protection is crucial for our operations,” said Michael Mathews, VP for global learning and innovation, Oral Roberts University. “Commvault’s solution for Google Workspace will enable us to confidently manage our data across Gmail and Google Drive, knowing that we have enterprise protection and the ability to recover quickly in the event of an issue. This will empower us to focus on our business while Commvault keeps our data safe.“

“As businesses increasingly rely on Google Workspace, safeguarding their critical data has never been more essential. With Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery, we’re delivering a purpose-built solution that not only simplifies data protection but also elevates security and compliance standards for Google Cloud customers,” said Rajiv Kottomtharayil, chief product officer, Commvault. “By combining the simplicity of SaaS with enterprise-grade recovery, we’re helping organizations strengthen their cyber resilience across the hybrid cloud landscape.“
