Commvault Cloud Unity: AI-Powered Cyber Resiliency at Scale

Please view video here for a time-stamped transcript

Good morning, everyone.

Sanjay just unveiled Commvault Cloud Unity, the industry’s only platform for true cyber
resiliency at scale.

So why is it the only platform?

As Sanjay explained, cloud and AI have changed the scale, security, and automation
requirements of modern architectures.

And Commvault Cloud Unity is the only platform designed to meet those requirements head
on.

We are operating in a world of hybrid cloud, edge computing, IoT, autonomous systems,
creating a level of complexity that legacy architectures simply can’t handle.

These legacy systems were built for data centers, not a cloud-native, AI-powered world.

Take the case of a large pharmaceutical customer in the U.K.

They operate over 2,000 pharmacies, dispensing 220 million prescriptions every year.

A cyber attack could bring those pharmacies offline, creating not just a business
disruption, but a life-threatening situation for patients.

Their pharmacies use local point-of-sale devices for daily operations,

all connected to a suite of cloud-native applications built and hosted in different
clouds.

They needed a platform that could protect this highly distributed cloud-first environment
and automatically recover their entire cloud if something went wrong.

Now, traditional architectures can’t deliver on the recovery time and recovery point
objectives of companies with this level of scale and complexity.

They needed a solution with an architecture that delivers infinite elasticity as well as
simplicity, automation, and speed.

Every step of our journey has been focused on this goal, simplifying resiliency at scale.

We started by separating the control plane from the data plane, unlocking true horizontal
scalability from the very beginning.

Then we introduced Metallic, the world’s fastest growing SaaS data protection platform.

Along the way, we integrated the best innovations from three cloud native acquisitions,
uniting them into one powerful ecosystem.

And now we have re-architected for the age of AI resilience, built on three core
principles.

One, unmatched scalability, secure by design, and metallic AI at the core.

A dynamic fabric

that powers all the machine learning and generative AI capabilities across our platform.

So let’s start with scalability, Commvault’s defining strength.

Data today is alive.

It moves constantly across regions, clouds, and workloads that run on ephemeral
infrastructure.

So why protect dynamic, short-lived workloads with static, always-on infrastructure?

That approach isn’t scalable.

It isn’t cost effective and it’s definitely not cloud native.

So we built something entirely new.

I’m thrilled to introduce Commvault Cloud Adaptive Fabric, our intelligence layer that
automatically manages and scales the data plane across clouds.

It’s smart, it’s efficient, and it’s built for the speed and elasticity of the AI era.

Now, traditional auto scaling looks at CPU, memory, IOs.

We go further, scaling compute, storage, and throughput dynamically based on workload
behavior and recovery targets.

Now that means your backups and restore scale exactly as your workloads do, and you never
pay for idle resources.

This technology was developed for our SaaS platform, and today we bring all those
capabilities natively into our platform across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

This next generation architecture isn’t just about saving money.

It’s about unlocking the future.

Now let’s go back to the same pharmacy customer and their Active Directory forest
environment.

They have 100 plus domain controllers, which can generate anywhere from 300,000 to 600,000
events every minute.

That’s roughly 5,000 to 10,000 events every second.

A traditional static architecture simply can’t scale and handle that kind of volume.

It just wasn’t built for that scale.

So we are going all in on cloud native.

But here’s the key.

It’s cloud native and cloud transparent.

That means your data stays yours and you stay in control and our cloud adaptive
architecture does the heavy lifting.

And here’s the real breakthrough: Everything connects.

On-premises,

SaaS, or hybrid, every Commvault instance can now link seamlessly into one unified
platform.

You can set global policies, enforce compliance, and monitor data movement across
multi-petabyte environments, all from a single pane of glass.

Now that’s a unified data management.

The foundation of our next big leap forward Commvault Cloud Unity.

And this new architecture, it’s not just theory, it delivers.

111 terabytes per hour for S3 data protection.

And for on-premises workloads, 40 terabytes per hour restore speeds using Hyperscale Flex
and Pure Storage.

And for traditional workloads like VMware, we are

84 % faster on backups and over 91 % faster on restores compared to a legacy backup
platform.

Now that’s the power of a truly modern architecture.

Resiliency in the AI era comes down to one thing, trust.

And at Commvault, security by design is the heart of the trust we create.

There are five things that makes our approach truly different.

We started with layered security zones separating control, data, storage planes so that
recovery is always possible, even if one layer is compromised.

Our foundation

is rock solid with 100 % Linux native deployments running on Commvault hardened appliances
or validated reference architecture through Vault OS.

We have built in Zero Trust identity integrations working closely with partners like
CyberArk to deliver identity-aware protection at every layer.

Data is encrypted at source, stays encrypted in transit and at rest.

And finally, we are proud to be the first to deliver

post-quantum cryptography, designed to stay secure against the next generation of threats.

The proof is in our credentials.

For example, Commvault Cloud is FedRAMP High certified, the highest level of security
certification for handling US government data.

We are also the first in our industry on Azure to support federated identity credentials,
integrating Azure and Microsoft 365 protection directly into the enterprise identity

fabric.

We meet stringent standards for security and reliability.

because we take being the last line of defense seriously.

As Sanjay said, AI is rewriting the rules for how we protect data.

It’s faster, bigger, and more autonomous than ever.

And Metallic AI helps you stay ahead of it all.

At the heart of it all is our comprehensive data model, an evergreen, always ready
metadata engine

that scales to meet modern enterprise demand.

It’s application aware, storage agnostic, and context sensitive, delivering deep
visibility and intelligence search across your entire environment.

CDM powers three core capabilities.

Assistance through generative and agent AI, optimizations through continuous learning, and
connections through secure governed data sharing via MCP fabric.

It unifies and understands your data, keeping it ready, protected, and optimized for the
AI era.

So to bring it all together, architecture matters.

We have built a platform that’s scalable, secure, and intelligent by design.

This is the foundation of Commvault Cloud Unity, how enterprises achieve resilience in the
AI era.

Now, Pranay will show you how this platform comes to life in the real world.

Thank you.
