AI and analytics are driving competitive advantage across every industry. At the heart of this transformation are data lakehouses built on Apache Iceberg, now one of the fastest-growing standards for structured data on object storage such as Amazon S3. From retail and healthcare to finance and tech, Iceberg is powering the pipelines that fuel AI-driven insights.
But while adoption is surging, resilience has not kept pace. Native Iceberg tools weren’t built for long-term protection. They fall short when it comes to compliance, ransomware resilience, and rapid recovery. For businesses, that gap means more than data loss – it can result in regulatory fines, flawed AI models, and costly downtime that undermines innovation.
When Native Tools Fail: A Financial Firm’s Story
Consider a global financial services firm processing billions of trades every day. Every few minutes, trades are written into Iceberg tables. Regulations require this firm to keep a full history of transactions for seven-plus years.
With native Iceberg snapshots, this can quickly become unmanageable. Too many snapshots can create performance bottlenecks, and recovering to an event from just five months ago requires a slow, manual process. In finance, where downtime equals millions of dollars in losses, that’s simply unreasonable.
And the challenge isn’t limited to finance. Any industry running AI and analytics on Iceberg may face the same risks: limited retention, fragile recovery, and exposure to ransomware.
Why Generic S3 Backups Aren’t Enough
Some organizations turn to standard S3 backup tools as a workaround. While these can be air-gapped, they copy data files but don’t preserve the relationships that define an Iceberg table.
That means recovery isn’t a simple restore – it’s a complex, manual “rewiring” process to rebuild the entire table structure. For a financial firm with billions of trades, that translates into extended downtime, higher costs, and potential data loss.
Clumio can eliminate this problem by natively understanding Iceberg, enabling recovery that is fast, accurate, and transactionally consistent.
Una strada intelligente da percorrere: Clumio per Apache Iceberg
Commvault is closing this gap with the industry’s first and only solution to deliver Iceberg-aware, air-gapped cyber resilience: Clumio for Apache Iceberg on AWS.
Here’s what makes it different:
- Unlimited retention without performance hits – adhere to long-term compliance requirements without slowing down production environments.
- Air-gapped, immutable protection – designed to defend against ransomware, account compromise, and accidental deletions.
- Fast, Iceberg-aware recovery – ability to restore to any point in time or named snapshot with full table integrity.
- Cross-region and cross-account recovery – extend resilience across AWS environments for verifiable disaster recovery.
- Cost-efficient, incremental backups – enables capturing only changes to minimize costs while scaling with massive workloads.

Snapshot nativi vs. backup S3 generici vs. Clumio per Apache Iceberg
| Capacità | Istantanee di iceberg autoctoni | Backup generici su S3 | Clumio per Apache Iceberg |
| Fidelizzazione | Limitata; un numero eccessivo di snapshot potrebbe causare colli di bottiglia nelle prestazioni | Possibile a lungo termine, ma solo a livello di file | Illimitata, conveniente e progettata per garantire la conformità |
| Protezione con gap d’aria | ✘ Lives in same AWS account (lost if table deleted) | ✓Can be air-gapped, but not Iceberg-aware | ✓Air-gapped, immutable vault for ransomware resilience |
| Processo di Recovery | Manuale, specialmente per gli snapshot più vecchi | Manual “rewiring” of table metadata and manifests | Recovery veloce, automatizzata e compatibile con Iceberg |
| Integrità dei dati | Coerenza transazionale, ma responsabilità in materia di governance e conformità | Mancanza di comprensione dei metadati di Iceberg; ripristini incoerenti | Ripristini coerenti a livello di transazione e a piena fedeltà |
| Su scala aziendale | Non pratico per la conservazione a lungo termine; costi di archiviazione elevati | Fragile e soggetto a errori su larga scala | Collaudato su scala di petabyte con miliardi di oggetti |
