Key Takeaways
- Commvault is introducing a Dedicated Tenant model that delivers an isolated SaaS environment for organizations with stringent security, sovereignty, and control requirements.
- AI-enabled unified governance discovers workloads, classifies data, and recommends protection policies to streamline compliance and risk mitigation across hybrid and multi-cloud estates.
- The platform helps provide instant visibility into protected and unprotected workloads and their costs, helping reduce risk exposure and optimize TCO.
- Regional deployment control and separated tenant infrastructure support mandates tied to GDPR, HIPAA, and FedRAMP.
- Together, dedicated isolation and AI-enabled oversight help enable resilient, forward-looking protection for mission-critical resources in highly regulated industries.
Highly regulated industries like healthcare, finance, and government face mounting cyber resilience challenges driven by evolving regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and FedRAMP, alongside increasingly sophisticated ransomware attacks.
Operating across complex hybrid environments – where sensitive data spans on-premises systems, public clouds, and SaaS platforms – further amplifies these risks. The need to help maintain consistent data protection policies, enforce sovereignty and compliance controls, and manage visibility across fragmented infrastructures makes resilience especially difficult.
Commvault has announced two major innovations as part of the Commvault Cloud Unity platform release – Dedicated Tenant and AI-enabled unified governance. This release marks a major step in the evolution of cloud-native data protection, particularly for mission-critical resources in highly regulated industries.
This update brings AI-enabled classification and dedicated, isolated environments to the forefront, empowering modern enterprises to protect mission-critical data and maintain compliance across hybrid and multi-cloud operations.
Dedicated Tenant: Fully isolated SaaS deployment model designed for large enterprises and highly regulated industries that require stringent compliance, sovereignty, and control. It delivers the same award-winning Commvault Cloud experience in a dedicated environment, combining SaaS agility with enterprise-grade isolation and regulatory assurance.
AI-enabled unified governance: Intelligent visibility and automation across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, simplifying compliance, policy management, and risk mitigation. By leveraging AI to unify oversight across data estates, organizations can more easily identify gaps, enforce consistent protection policies, and strengthen overall cyber resilience.
The new platform introduces an AI-enabled experience that automatically discovers workloads across cloud estates and recommends protection policies based on workload classification. This approach is particularly valuable for mission-critical resources and helps enable organizations to:
- Rapidly identify and classify sensitive data across diverse cloud environments.
- Automatically apply appropriate protection policies based on the classification of workloads.
- Gain instant visibility into protected and unprotected workloads, along with their associated costs – helping reduce risk exposure and optimize total cost of ownership.
For industries handling sensitive data, such as financial services or healthcare, this level of AI-enabled classification is crucial. It helps operators protect highly sensitive workloads with the appropriate level of protection, meeting both business continuity requirements and regulatory compliance standards.
Enhanced Protection and Privacy with Dedicated Tenant
For large enterprises in highly regulated industries, Commvault Cloud has released a Dedicated Tenant offering designed for organizations with strict security, compliance, or sovereignty requirements that require strict isolation of compute, network, and storage infrastructure from other customers. It delivers the same features and UI/UX as the standard Commvault Cloud platform, with the added benefit of isolation from other tenants.
This dedicated SaaS deployment option provides:
- Isolated environments: Customers are provisioned with dedicated SaaS environments that help keep compute, storage, and management resources completely isolated from unrelated tenants.
- Regional control: The ability to select geographic regions for deployment helps meet sovereignty and compliance mandates.
- Regulatory assurance: By separating tenant infrastructure, a dedicated tenant helps simplify audits and helps customers demonstrate compliance with frameworks such as HIPAA, FedRAMP, and GDPR.
Unified Governance and Isolated Control
Commvault Cloud’s latest platform release, featuring Dedicated Tenant and AI-enabled classification and governance, marks a pivotal advancement in data protection for highly regulated industries. By uniting AI-enabled classification, compliance intelligence, and dedicated, isolated SaaS environments, Commvault delivers a comprehensive solution for helping protect mission-critical resources across complex, multi-cloud ecosystems.
As data environments grow more distributed and compliance demands intensify, these innovations help empower organizations to achieve operational continuity, maintain regulatory confidence, and build resilient, forward-facing data protection frameworks that evolve with the pace of modern business.
FAQs
Q: What is Commvault Cloud Dedicated Tenant, and who is it for?
A: Dedicated Tenant is a fully isolated SaaS deployment of Commvault Cloud that separates compute, storage, network, and management resources from other customers. It’s designed for large enterprises and regulated sectors that need tight control, sovereignty, and audit-friendly separation without giving up SaaS agility.
Q: How does the AI-enabled unified governance help day to day?
A: It automatically discovers workloads across clouds, classifies sensitive data, and recommends appropriate protection policies so teams can act faster and more consistently. This unified oversight helps reduce manual policy drift, highlight coverage gaps, and prioritize remediation to strengthen cyber resilience.
Q: What compliance outcomes does this release support (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, FedRAMP)?
A: By isolating tenant resources and providing regional control, Dedicated Tenant helps make it easier to demonstrate adherence to sovereignty and regulatory requirements. Unified governance then maps classification to policies, helping organizations document posture and respond to audits with clearer evidence.
Q: How does this reduce risk and total cost of ownership?
A: Continuous visibility into protected vs. unprotected workloads and their associated costs helps enable targeted remediation and smarter allocation of spend. Automated policy recommendations help reduce administrative overhead and the likelihood of costly protection gaps.
Q: What does regional control look like in practice?
A: Organizations can choose deployment regions for their dedicated environment to align with data residency and sovereignty mandates. This geographic placement, combined with isolated infrastructure, helps support regulatory confidence and operational control.
Q: Will this work across my hybrid and multi-cloud environment without adding complexity?
A: Yes – the AI-enabled experience is built to unify visibility and governance across on-prem, public cloud, and SaaS workloads. It helps centralize classification and policy management so teams can operate with a single, consistent model across distributed estates.
