WHY CURRENT APPROACHES FAIL

AI growth creates new resilience gaps

AI adds critical new assets — models, vector stores, agents — while distributed systems and siloed tooling make discovery, protection, and recovery difficult.


Hidden operational signals

Job history, audit trails, and logs hide early warnings; manual review is slow and error-prone.


AI data is expensive to recreate

Vectors, model state, and training datasets are costly to rebuild — loss can mean lengthy delays and high expense.


Third-party integrations increase risk

Conversational assistants and agent workflows can act across environments; without governance they expand attack and compliance surfaces.

A SINGLE SYSTEM FOR RESOPS

Protect AI. Leverage AI. Extend AI — Securely.

Commvault unifies protection, intelligent insight, and secure extensibility to help organizations protect AI workloads and use AI to strengthen resilience operations.


Protect AI workloads

Safeguard AI data, models, vector databases, and pipelines across cloud and hybrid environments with application-aware backup and clean recovery capabilities.


Leverage AI for resilience

Apply AI-enabled analysis to surface operational insights, troubleshoot failures, optimize protection plans, and guide clean recovery decisions across environments.


Extend AI safely

Enable secure, role-based integrations and conversational workflows to activate protected data and orchestrate resilience actions across enterprise systems.
