Clumio by Commvault, which provides cloud-native backup and recovery designed specifically for public cloud environments, has achieved FedRAMP Class C (Moderate) Ready status and is now listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace. This important step expands cloud-native cyber resilience options for federal agencies, government contractors, and regulated organizations while moving Clumio closer to a future FedRAMP Class C certification.
Opening New Opportunities
FedRAMP is the U.S. government’s standardized approach to assessing the security of cloud services used by federal agencies. While an Authorization to Operate (ATO) is the ultimate goal, FedRAMP Class C Ready is the first major public step in that process.
After successfully completing its Readiness Assessment Report (RAR), Clumio is now listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace as Legacy FedRAMP Ready. This makes it easier for agencies, partners, and regulated organizations to discover and evaluate Clumio as it continues through the FedRAMP certification process.
Built for Modern Cloud Environments
As organizations continue updating their IT environments, traditional backup approaches often struggle to keep pace with cloud-native applications and services. Clumio was built specifically for the cloud, helping make it easier to protect data, simplify recovery, and strengthen cyber resilience without adding unnecessary complexity.
For organizations operating in FedRAMP Moderate environments, that means access to a cloud-native backup and recovery solution designed to align with federal security requirements while supporting operational efficiency.
Why This Matters for Customers
The demand for guarded, cloud-native data protection continues to grow across both the public and private sectors. Federal agencies, government contractors, and regulated commercial organizations all face increasing pressure to protect critical workloads while meeting evolving compliance expectations.
Clumio’s FedRAMP Class C Ready status helps address those needs by helping:
- Expand cloud-native backup and recovery options for federal agencies and organizations operating in FedRAMP Moderate environments.
- Provide greater visibility through the FedRAMP Marketplace procurement process.
- Support customers that want to extend cloud-native data protection into regulated environments.
For existing customers, including organizations with both commercial and government cloud environments, this milestone also creates new opportunities to standardize cloud-native data protection across their operations.
Strengthening Commvault’s Government Portfolio
Clumio’s FedRAMP Class C Ready status complements Commvault® Cloud for Government, which serves organizations requiring FedRAMP Class D (High).
Together, these offerings give customers more flexibility to protect data across cloud, hybrid, and cloud-native environments while supporting different federal security requirements. Organizations with cloud-native workloads can evaluate Clumio for FedRAMP Moderate environments, while Commvault Cloud for Government addresses organizations requiring FedRAMP High.
Looking Ahead
Clumio’s FedRAMP Class C Ready status reflects Commvault’s ongoing investment in cloud-native cyber resilience for the public sector. As Clumio advances toward a future FedRAMP Class C certification, customers can begin evaluating the offering while Commvault continues expanding its public sector cyber resilience portfolio.
