Commvault, Kyndryl, and Pure Storage have joined forces to help channel partners deliver recovery services that go beyond backup, combining cyber resilience, automated compliance testing, and rapid data restoration into a unified offering. As customers face mounting regulatory pressure and rising attack volumes, this partnership enables partners to expand their service portfolio with scalable, high-value solutions built for today’s operational and compliance demands.

The joint solution integrates Commvault’s resilience platform, Kyndryl’s managed recovery services, and Pure Storage’s scalable infrastructure into a cohesive framework. This enables channel partners to support regulated industries with tested, verifiable recovery workflows aligned to mandates like DORA, NIS2, NYDFS, and APRA CPS 230. It creates a clear path to service differentiation, allowing partners to help customers reduce risk, meet compliance obligations, and maintain business continuity under pressure.

From Backup to Auditable Recovery

Built on a modular architecture, the solution supports secure, layered recovery: from an isolated vault for immutable backups, to a clean zone for validation, to high-speed recovery using FlashBlade, and snapshot restoration for business-critical workloads. Commvault Cleanroom Recovery enables real-world testing in both cloud and on-prem environments, helping partners deliver proof of recovery readiness. AI-powered anomaly detection flags compromised data before restoration, improving integrity and reducing reinfection risk.

The number one concern for business and IT leaders is cyberattacks, and this partnership directly addresses these critical challenges by helping customers recover from cyber incidents faster to enhance their cyber resilience. Vidya Shankaran, Field CTO - Emerging Technologies at Commvault says, "A 'minimum viability' strategy defines the most essential systems, data, and processes an organization needs to keep operating and serving customers during a crisis. So, as we support organizations, we are enabling them to restore critical functions faster while still meeting regulatory requirements for operational continuity." 

Turning Compliance into a Service Opportunity

With compliance becoming a key driver of IT spend, partners can position this solution as a turnkey offering for resilience testing, audit support, and policy enforcement. It includes tools for data classification, access control, retention management, and automated reporting, helping customers demonstrate alignment with ISO, NIST, PCI DSS, and other frameworks. By helping clients define minimum viable operations, partners also add strategic value, guiding them to prioritize systems and data that must stay online during disruption.

Shankaran says, "This collaboration provides enterprises with a comprehensive, multi-layered solution to not only defend against and recover from cyberattacks but also to streamline the process of complying with new, strict global regulations. The services are designed particularly for organizations in highly regulated industries that face the dual challenges of sophisticated cyberattacks and complex compliance mandates. Optimized for performance, reliability, and scale, IT and security teams gain refined control over how they protect and recover data while radically simplifying their data resilience operations."

Resources to Scale with Confidence

To accelerate adoption, the offering is backed by dedicated partner resources. Commvault’s Partner Advantage program, Kyndryl’s delivery teams, and Pure Storage’s partner portal provide access to training, sales support, and deployment tools. This makes it easier for partners to package and deliver managed recovery and compliance services at scale.

"What is being delivered to MSPs is a modular suite of expert Resilience-as-a-Service services that allow MSPs to meet customers where they are on their resilience journey and build on it towards a mature cyber-resilient strategy and delivery model," says Shankaran.

With this joint solution, channel partners are equipped to deliver clean, compliant, and fast recovery, helping clients meet mandates and reduce risk without adding operational burden. For partners ready to lead on cyber resilience, this is the opportunity to expand services, deepen relationships, and drive growth in a compliance-first market.

Shankaran says, "MSPs can already leverage this solution, which is designed to provide an architecture that customers can adopt to demonstrate to regulators their ability to maintain global business resilience in the event of a cyberattack. Vendors like Commvault deliver expertise and enablement that help MSPs differentiate as experts in the market and provide value-added services that are outcome-based."
