Commvault, Kyndryl & Pure Storage Partner on New Services

Commvault, a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, is partnering with enterprise technology services provider Kyndryl to deliver incident recovery services to customers, enabling them to recover faster, advance cyber resilience, and navigate the regulatory compliance landscape through a collaboration with Pure Storage.

Managed backup and recovery among services getting a boost through partnership

Commvault will augment Kyndryl’s portfolio of cyber resiliency services, including Incident Recovery Services such as Cyber Incident Recovery, Managed Backup Services, and Hybrid Platform Recovery.

“Cyber preparedness is no longer regarded as optional for global organizations; it is mandatory,” said Allen Downs, VP of security and resiliency services at Kyndryl. “Through this collaboration with Commvault and Pure Storage, we are further positioned to assist some of the world’s most esteemed organizations in completely redefining their data protection strategies.”

Under this partnership, Commvault and Kyndryl will collaborate with Pure Storage in helping organizations comply with evolving regulations, including the European Union’s DORA, NIS2, PSD2, NYDFS NYCRR 500, and Australia’s APRA CPS 230.

“Our partnership with Kyndryl is built to address the biggest challenges facing the enterprise today, such as the persistent threat of cyberattacks, including ransomware, and the increasing complexity of managing massive data growth across multi-cloud environments,” said Alan Atkinson, chief partner officer at Commvault. “When combined with the innovative Pure Storage platform, the three companies are together helping organizations stay resilient and prepared to act decisively in the face of disruption.”

Commvault and Pure Storage release modular architecture for compliance and recovery

Among the services that Commvault and Pure Storage deliver together are a modular, four-layered architecture that streamlines the compliance process and accelerates recovery across hybrid cloud environments. 

The companies are also delivering: 

• Cyber Resilient Vault: An isolated, immutable data vault built on zero-trust principles, protecting backup data from unauthorized access and corruption.
• Clean Recovery Zone: A secure environment for forensic analysis, validation of clean backups, and staged recovery operations.
• Production Rapid Restore: Restoration of large datasets using Pure Storage FlashBlade, with immutability powered by S3 Object Lock and SafeMode.
• Immutable Snapshot Recovery: Application-consistent snapshot replication with Commvault IntelliSnap and Pure Storage FlashArray, enabling rapid restoration of Tier-1 workloads.

The offerings from Commvault and Pure Storage facilitate automated and continuous testing for cyber recovery, including support for Commvault Cleanroom Recovery within public cloud and on-prem isolated recovery environments managed by Kyndryl.

“As regulatory frameworks like DORA set higher standards for operational resilience, organizations are implementing strategies that integrate regulatory compliance with the ability to recover swiftly from cyber disruption,” said Maciej Kranz, the GM of Enterprise at Pure Storage. “Together with Commvault and Kyndryl, we’re delivering advanced security features and a scalable foundation of layered resilience that helps organizations meet these mandates and restore critical operations quickly and reliably.”
