Cloud Industry-Leading Workload Supportability: Protecting Critical Data Across Complex Hybrid Environments Commvault delivers comprehensive protection to help eliminate vulnerabilities. By Caroll Casbeer | July 7, 2025 The hybrid infrastructure explosion has shattered traditional protection boundaries. Today’s enterprises deploy workloads across a kaleidoscope of environments – from legacy on-premises systems to edge computing to multiple cloud platforms – creating protection gaps that sophisticated attackers ruthlessly exploit.Each workload type, with its unique architecture and data structures, demands specialized protection approaches that most solutions simply cannot deliver.Commvault’s cyber resilience platform overcomes these limitations through industry-leading workload supportability that spans the entire enterprise technology landscape. By delivering comprehensive protection for critical workloads – from containerized applications to specialized databases to virtual infrastructure – Commvault establishes a unified security and recovery fabric to help eliminate vulnerability gaps while dramatically simplifying management complexity.The following organizations have leveraged Commvault’s extensive workload capabilities to transform fragmented protection landscapes into unified security advantages, even across the most heterogeneous environments.Customer Success StoriesScottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS): Cyber Resilience for Hybrid Multi-CloudThe Scottish Fire and Rescue Service faced the challenge of maintaining cyber resilience across a complex hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructure. With critical emergency services data distributed across diverse environments, it needed a comprehensive solution that could provide consistent protection and recovery capabilities.Commvault’s solution provides SFRS with comprehensive protection across its varied workload types, including virtualized environments, containerized applications, databases, and specialized emergency response systems. The platform’s unified management interface enables the SFRS IT team to implement consistent protection policies despite the diversity of its infrastructure.By implementing Commvault’s cyber resilience platform, SFRS gained the ability to protect its hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructure effectively. This approach enables SFRS to keep critical data secure and recoverable, regardless of where it resides, supporting its mission-critical emergency response capabilities.Financial Services Giant: Automated Cloud Application RecoveryA leading financial services organization that operates in both traditional data center and cloud environments deployed Commvault Cloud Rewind to address critical recovery challenges across its hybrid infrastructure. With complex applications spanning multiple environments, the company struggled with lengthy recovery times and high costs associated with their previous protection approach.Its hybrid environment included thousands of virtual machines, containerized applications running on Kubernetes clusters, and specialized database workloads including SQL, Oracle, and MongoDB. The company required a solution that could consistently protect and rapidly recover these diverse workloads while maintaining the complex dependencies between components.Commvault’s solution delivered automated rebuild capabilities for the company’s entire application environment, dramatically reducing recovery time and operational costs. The platform’s ability to protect and recover diverse workload types – from traditional virtualized systems to modern cloud-native applications – enabled a unified approach to cyber resilience across its heterogeneous infrastructure.The implementation reduced the company’s cloud application resilience costs by 85% while enabling it to recover complex application environments in minutes. This remarkable improvement demonstrates Commvault’s capability to support diverse workload types within sophisticated hybrid environments, delivering both operational efficiency and enhanced protection.SMSA Express: Defending Against Cyberattacks Across Distributed SystemsSMSA Express, a leading express delivery and logistics service provider, implemented Commvault Cloud to address significant protection challenges across its geographically dispersed hybrid infrastructure. With operations dependent on continuous availability of tracking systems, customer databases, and logistics applications, SMSA required a solution that could provide consistent protection across diverse workload types.The company’s infrastructure included on-premises data centers housing traditional applications, virtual environments based on VMware, Microsoft SQL databases, and cloud-based logistics platforms. This mixture of legacy and modern systems presented significant challenges for maintaining consistent protection policies and enabling rapid recovery capabilities.Commvault’s solution provided SMSA Express with comprehensive protection across its entire workload portfolio, enabling it to implement consistent policies despite the diversity of its infrastructure. The platform’s ability to protect everything from virtual machines to container-based applications to specialized databases meant that no critical components were left vulnerable.By leveraging Commvault’s extensive workload supportability, SMSA Express successfully established a unified protection fabric that spans its hybrid environment. This implementation has significantly enhanced its cyber resilience posture, enabling it to defend against sophisticated attacks and recover rapidly from incidents, maintaining continuous logistics operations despite the complex nature of its distributed systems.Prepared for Hybrid ComplexityThese customer success stories demonstrate the power of Commvault’s industry-leading workload supportability in addressing the challenges of complex hybrid environments. By providing comprehensive protection for diverse workloads across heterogeneous infrastructures, Commvault enables organizations to implement unified data management strategies that help enhance operational efficiency, reduce risk, and support business growth.Whether facilitating infrastructure migrations, simplifying management of heterogeneous environments, or delivering cyber resilience across hybrid multi-cloud infrastructures, Commvault’s extensive workload supportability provides the foundation for effective data protection in complex IT landscapes.As organizations continue to expand and diversify their infrastructures, Commvault’s ability to protect critical data assets wherever they reside will remain a crucial enabler of digital transformation initiatives.
