Unified Application-Aware Data Protection
Application-aware data protection is an approach that understands how applications write data — not just how files are stored — so teams can restore services to a consistent, usable state after an outage or ransomware attack. Commvault’s unified platform helps this approach across hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises workloads without requiring separate tools per environment.

Hybrid sprawl. Ransomware pressure.
Application-Aware Recovery, Simplified
Discover, govern, and unify hybrid and cloud-native protection to rebuild fast after ransomware—cut downtime, tighten control, and validate recoverability.
Common Challenges
Where Recoveries Break Down
As data grows across hybrid and multi-cloud, point tools and crash-consistent restores create risk—especially under ransomware, audit, and uptime pressure.
Fragmented backup tools everywhere
Point solutions get cobbled together over time, adding manual overhead, inconsistent policies, and gaps you only discover during a restore.
Crash-consistent restores mislead
VM-level backups can look “successful” but still break apps. Application-aware recovery needs API integration to rebuild services cleanly.
Hybrid and multi-cloud sprawl
Workloads spread across regions, accounts, and platforms. Teams lose visibility into what’s protected, what’s not, and what it costs.
Backup windows keep shrinking
Data growth plus tighter SLAs stress backup jobs. Without unified control and cost control, teams struggle to scale and minimize downtime.
Kubernetes protection stays complex
Cloud-native stacks change fast. Protecting persistent data, configs, and dependencies across clusters creates process friction and fragile runbooks.
Ransomware and audit scrutiny
Security and compliance teams need governed retention, clean recovery confidence, and proof. Manual reporting slows response when timelines matter most.
The solution
Unify Protection. Rebuild With Confidence.
Commvault helps discover, govern, and unify hybrid and cloud-native protection, so teams rebuild fast, minimize downtime, and prove recoverability under ransomware pressure.
Unify control across every workload
Replace point tools with one unified control console and centralized policy engine across hybrid, multi-cloud, and edge—less manual effort, stronger governance.
Application-aware recovery that rebuilds
Move beyond crash-consistent restores with application-aware workflows and snapshots to rebuild critical apps and data dependencies fast—support stringent RTOs/RPOs.
Visibility and cost control at scale
Gain visibility into protected status and cost control with cloud data discovery and TCO analysis, plus cross region and cloud copies to scale governance.

Key Capabilities
One console, one policy engine
Unify protection under a centralized policy engine to reduce manual effort, strengthen governance, and improve visibility into protection status across teams.
Protect hybrid and cloud-native
Unified workload protection across multi-cloud, on-premises, and edge environments—so application-aware protection and recovery stays consistent as infrastructure evolves.
Discover data, guide spend
Use cloud data discovery and TCO analysis to surface what’s protected, where coverage gaps exist, and where cost control opportunities align with recovery priorities.
Snapshots, storage, immutable copies
Choose flexible protection levels, including cloud snapshots and included storage for Azure, AWS, and GCP—supporting secure and immutable copies for stronger resilience.
Cross region and cloud copies
Create cross region and cloud copies to support regulatory needs, reduce risk from localized outages, and rebuild critical applications where the business needs them.
Docking plus config workflows
Supports HyperScale docking for onboarding from the command center, plus cloud configuration backup/restore workflows to rebuild cloud resources during cyber recovery.
Compliance & Certifications
Commvault helps support rigorous compliance, extensive certifications, and secure data protection aligned to applicable regulatory requirements for highly regulated industries.

ExploreFrequently Asked Questions
What is application-aware data protection?
It protects applications—not just files or VMs—by understanding how they write data, so you recover to a consistent state and rebuild services after an outage or cyberattack.
What workloads does this approach cover?
Cloud-native, hybrid, and on-premises workloads, including cloud databases, files and objects, hypervisors, and Kubernetes—so you can unify protection where critical apps run.
How does unification reduce point tools?
It helps replace scattered point solutions and scripts with one control plane, so teams can govern policies consistently and reduce the overhead of managing separate tools.
How do we get visibility into protection status?
You unify visibility across cloud-native, hybrid, and on-premises resources to see protected status in one place, apply consistent governance, and reduce gaps.
How does it support RTOs and RPOs?
By unifying control and protection, teams align policies to recovery objectives, minimize downtime, and drive clean recoveries so critical applications can be restored fast.
How do we get started?
Start with the applications you need to protect, then connect and unify resources under one control plane. Commvault Services can help design and implement a governed rollout.
