Commvault, Microsoft partner to bring cyber resilience services natively to Azure

Commvault has signed a multi-year strategic partnership with Microsoft to bring its AI and cyber resilience platform directly into Microsoft Azure as a native ISV service. The move is aimed at Azure customers who want to manage data protection, cyber recovery, and resilience capabilities from inside the Azure cloud platform.

Through the partnership, Microsoft will offer Commvault’s AI and cyber resilience technologies through Azure, giving customers a way to discover, deploy, and manage those capabilities alongside their existing cloud services. The native service is designed to support recovery of data, applications, and identities after cyberattacks, outages or human error. It also gives customers a more direct path to use Commvault Cloud through the Microsoft Marketplace.

The partnership comes as enterprises are moving more workloads to the cloud, expanding AI use, and facing more pressure to prove they can recover quickly from disruption. For customers in sectors such as financial services, retail, and healthcare, resilience is becoming a core part of cloud and AI planning. Commvault said the Azure integration is meant to help organizations support AI adoption while keeping recovery, data security, and operational continuity closer to the cloud environments where those workloads run.

Commvault and Microsoft also plan to work together on co-selling, joint solution development and go-to-market activity around cloud resilience. For partners and customers, the bigger takeaway is that cyber recovery is moving closer to the cloud buying motion. Commvault’s native ISV service on Azure is expected to enter public preview this summer.
