Commvault Unity Release: Synthetic Recovery, Identity Resilience and much more

Most companies think they have a backup problem. What they really have is a recovery problem. I spent the day at Commvault SHIFT, on the ground talking to customers, partners and the Commvault team. I also spoke with Darren Thomson, Field CTO at Commvault, for a focused chat on what they announced and what it means in the middle of real attacks and real pressure on IT teams.In the interview, we got into:-- The new Unity Platform and why Commvault is trying to bring data security, data access, identity patterns and cyber recovery into one view-- How they are thinking about very fast, clean recovery after an attack, not just “we have backups somewhere”-- Cloud Native Protection and what that actually changes for existing customers and large enterprises already deep into cloud-- Identity Resilience and why identity is now part of the data security story, not a separate topic-- Synthetic Recovery and how they use ML signals from anomalies, entropy, threat scans and third party tools to compose a clean state across multiple backup points-- Real world use cases from regulated industries, where downtime and data loss are simply not an optionWhat I liked most is that this was not only about shiny new features, but about how security, backup and AI are starting to come together in one place. For teams who are tired of stitching ten tools to get back up after an attack, this direction will be interesting to watch.If you care about data, security and recovery, this is worth your time.Check out all the announcements links in the comments!#data #ai #cloud #security #cybersecurity #recovery #resilience #commvault #shift2025 #shift #theravitshow
