Commvault , a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, has announced the acquisition of Appranix , a company specializing in cloud cyber resilience. This move by Commvault aims to assist enterprises in expediting recovery processes following outages or cyberattacks.

Statistics from Statista reveal that the average downtime following a ransomware attack extends to 24 days. Commvault addresses this issue by aiding customers in minimizing downtime through swift data recovery facilitated by automation and next-generation cleanroom offerings. However, rapid data recovery constitutes just one aspect of the solution.

Appranix automates these processes, potentially reducing the time required for rebuilding from days or weeks to hours or minutes. Representatives of Commvault, expressed the significance of this acquisition in enhancing resilience, merging Commvault's extensive risk, readiness, and recovery capabilities with Appranix's cloud-native rebuild capabilities.

Similarly, Appranix representatives emphasized the alignment of visions between the two companies to transcend traditional backup and disaster recovery approaches, offering comprehensive resilience capabilities. Spokespersons from IDC noted the significance of the acquisition in making cyber resilience at speed a tangible reality, particularly in automating rebuild capabilities for distributed and dynamic cloud applications. The integration of Appranix's technology into Commvault's portfolio is slated for completion by summer, with the Appranix team set to join Commvault shortly.

In the interim, customers can access Appranix's offerings for cloud application discovery and rebuild requirements through various cloud marketplaces, including AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
