TINTON FALLS, N.J. – September 9, 2026 – Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in unified resilience at enterprise scale, today announced Commvault Active Directory Pre Recover. This new solution, which utilizes existing Commvault technologies – including Commvault Cleanroom and Threat Scan, can reduce the time it takes to cleanly recover Active Directory (“AD”) from hours to minutes.
Active Directory Pre Recover creates a clean, standby copy of AD in an isolated, air-gapped Cleanroom environment. When disaster or disruption strikes, rather than waiting for a full forest recovery, or relying on complicated identity synchronization, organizations can fail over in minutes to this clean copy and keep the business running. Commvault also utilizes Threat Scan to continuously scan AD backups so the standby copy is free of malicious content.
This innovation comes as identity systems have become a primary target for attackers and organizations are facing increased pressure to restore rapidly and without risk of re-infection.
“Identity is foundational to every enterprise application, user, and business process,” said Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Chief Products Officer, Commvault. “Commvault has already made significant progress reducing identity recovery times from weeks to hours, and now we are extending that progress toward near-real-time availability. The result is faster access to critical business systems and greater confidence during cyber recovery.”
Additional Benefits of Commvault Active Directory Pre Recover:
- Keep critical operations running during a cyber incident: With the AD standby copy stored in Cleanroom, organizations can have peace of mind that, in the event production identity services are unavailable, trusted access to critical systems can continue.
- Minimize application and infrastructure disruption: Applications can continue authenticating against trusted identity services without requiring complicated replication of accounts in alternate Identity and Access Management Systems or waiting for a full forest restore to complete.
Availability
Commvault Active Directory Pre Recover will be available for early access in the coming months, delivered as part of Commvault’s Identity Resilience portfolio. All enterprise AD customers will receive Active Directory Pre Recover as part of their existing license, including a lite version of Cleanroom. This offering will be available globally through Commvault’s partner ecosystem.
