Data protection provider Commvault Systems Inc. today announced a new partnership with information technology consultancy Kyndryl Holdings Inc. to help customers recover faster, advance cyber resilience and navigate the evolving regulatory landscape.

The partnership between the two companies will see Commvault augment Kyndryl’s portfolio of cyber resiliency services, encompassing Incident Recovery Services, including Cyber Incident Recovery, Managed Backup Services and Hybrid Platform Recovery.

As part of the partnership, Commvault and Kyndryl will also collaborate with Pure Storage Inc. to assist organizations in complying with evolving and rigorous regulations, including the European Union’s Digital Operational Resilience Act, the Network and Information Security Directive 2, the Revised Payment Services Directive, as well as the New York Department of Financial Services 23 NYCRR Part 500 and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority’s Prudential Standard CPS 230.

The services from Commvault and Pure Storage provide a modular, four-layer architecture designed to assist with compliance and accelerate recovery across hybrid cloud environments.

Commvault and Pure Storage bring to the table the Cyber Resilient Vault, an isolated and immutable data vault based on zero-trust principles that protects backup data from unauthorized access and corruption, as well as the Clean Recovery Zone, a secure space for forensic analysis, backup validation and staged recovery.

The architecture also features Production Rapid Restore for fast and reliable restoration of large datasets using Pure Storage FlashBlade, enhanced with immutability via S3 Object Lock and SafeMode. Additionally, Immutable Snapshot Recovery offers application-consistent snapshot replication through Commvault IntelliSnap and Pure Storage FlashArray, enabling rapid restoration of Tier-1 workloads.

“As regulatory frameworks like DORA set higher standards for operational resilience, organizations are implementing strategies that integrate regulatory compliance with the ability to recover swiftly from cyber disruption,” said Maciej Kranz, general manager of enterprise at Pure Storage. “Together with Commvault and Kyndryl, we’re delivering advanced security features and a scalable foundation of layered resilience that helps organizations meet these mandates and restore critical operations quickly and reliably.”

The offerings provided by Commvault and Pure Storage facilitate automated and continuous testing for cyber recovery, including support for Commvault Cleanroom Recovery within both public cloud environments and on-premises isolated recovery environments managed by Kyndryl.
