## Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cleanroom?

A cleanroom, or Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) is more than a secure space. It integrates meticulous planning, established processes, and best practices in a standalone environment, separate from the production network, to enhance cyber recovery effectively.

Why does cyber recovery testing matter?

Testing for resilience promotes business continuity by uncovering and resolving errors in recovering critical applications and data during low-stakes situations. This practice builds team confidence in their ability to handle cyber incidents effectively.

What is Commvault Cloud Commvault Cleanroom?

Commvault Cleanroom provides a cost-effective, clean, secure, isolated recovery environment on demand for testing cyber recovery plans, conducting secure forensic analysis, and uninterrupted business.

What makes our Commvault Cleanroom unique?

Commvault’s solution offers robust cyber resilience by enabling recovery of any workload from any location to a secure, cloud-isolated cleanroom. Key features include any-to-any portability, cost-effective, flexible cleanroom targets, a read-only control plane for security, and AI/ML integration for optimal recovery points. Traditional methods are often too complex and costly.

How can Cleanroom be leveraged?

A cleanroom environment, also known as an “isolated recovery environment” or “sandbox,” plays a crucial role in cyber recovery strategies by providing a cost-effective and flexible place for testing, as well as a safe and secure space to analyze, restore, and remediate systems affected by cyberattacks.

Is hardware needed to run Commvault Cleanroom?

No hardware is required to run Commvault Cleanroom or Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery for SaaS; however, you need hardware to run Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery software.

What’s new within Commvault Cleanroom?

Commvault Cleanroom creation automation, active directory forest level support, runbook experience, and on-prem deployment options. To learn more about these features, contact us for a trial or contact your account manager.

What is the difference between a Cleanroom and an isolated Recovery Environment (IRE)?

There are fundamental differences. A cleanroom is a temporary, on-demand, isolated environment created for forensic analysis, testing, and validation of workloads before reintroducing them to production. It’s premeditated. An Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) is a persistent, hardened, and air-gapped recovery environment containing immutable copies of critical data and the infrastructure needed to recover it.
