Commvault , a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, has expanded its relationship with Google Cloud by launching Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery for Google Workspace. Targeted for availability by the end of 2024, the new solution is set to provide end-to-end enterprise-grade protection for Gmail, Google Drive, and Shared Drives, supporting the maintainability of valuable data safe, compliant, and recoverable, within Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

The company intends to offer built-in Google Cloud Storage for Google Workspace protection while also delivering a broad workload guard across SaaS, hybrid, and cloud-native workloads. Scaled security and scalable cloud solutions Being assisted by Google Workspace, Commvault aims to provide Google Cloud customers with additional capabilities for safeguarding their critical data with increased security, simplified recovery processes, and scalable cloud solutions. Among the potential benefits, Commvault mentions: Advanced protection, with Google Workspace customers being able to discover active data, recover from inadvertent or malicious data deletion, and maintain a copy of data in the Commvault Cloud for compliance mandates; Multi-layer cyber resilience due to built-in rigorous security standards, privacy protocols, and zero-trust access controls.

Through this, Google Workspace customers are set to benefit from the multi-layer data protection offered by Commvault Cloud, which can reduce the impact of cyberattacks and combat data loss threats; SaaS features which enable Google Workspace customers to leverage Commvault Cloud’s data protection and avoid infrastructures and management complexities with subscription-based licensing. Furthermore, Commvault intends to further scale its Google Cloud capabilities via Cloud Rewind, which integrates Appranix’s application rebuild features into the Commvault Cloud platform. Through this, Google Cloud users can leverage an automated, cloud-native rebuild solution and recover from cyber incidents. When commenting on the announcement, representatives from Commvault underlined that the decision to extend their company’s Google Cloud support can be attributed to the current environment, where businesses rely more on Google Workspace and guarding their data has become critical.

By launching Commvault Cloud Backup & Recovery, the company focuses on offering a solution that can simultaneously optimise data protection and elevate security and compliance standards for Google Cloud customers. Also, merging SaaS with recovery allows Commvault to support organisations in solidifying their cyber resilience across the hybrid cloud landscape. .
