Starting in August 2024, Commvault® Cloud Cleanroom™ Recovery will support SaaS, Active Directory, and Repave using "Golden Image." This release will further emphasize Commvault's commitment to cyber readiness and resilience for our customers.
Cybersecurity breaches are inevitable; customers need to embrace and plan accordingly. Now, SaaS customers can be recovery-ready by conducting cyber recovery testing. Testing has historically been complex and increasingly expensive. This release will enable our SaaS customers to do the same without the complexities and unpredictable expenses.
Cleanroom Recovery for SaaS provides seamless integration with the SaaS control plane:
Users can log into their SaaS portal, create recovery groups, and perform cleanroom recovery orchestration into their Azure subscription. The experience remains the same, so SaaS customers can perform regular testing to better understand vulnerabilities, incident response and forensics, and high-speed recovery. Cleanroom Recovery in SaaS is a secure and quick recovery of applications into an on-demand cleanroom to enable reliable cyber recovery.
The SaaS Control Plane is within Commvault's infrastructure. If a SaaS customer wants to do a cyber recovery testing or investigation, or a recovery, they would need to identify where the Cleanroom needs to aux copy the backup data into Air Gap Protect.
Once this is available, they create an Azure subscription and bring their own infrastructure (the networking components), and then orchestrate the recovery of the application using Air Gap Protect into the defined Cleanroom. This process can be automated, and any recovery validation can be performed with this being orchestrated.
The difference between software and SaaS is straightforward. In software, the control plane is running inside production, and the first step is to recover it and perform application recovery. In the case of SaaS, the control plane is already within our infrastructure. It is isolated from the customer environment, and we are targeting application recovery.
The August release of Cleanroom Recovery also will include Active Directory. Active Directory is an important component of any application, and when it comes to cyberattacks, attackers don't just infect a singular component, VMs, or databases. They want to insert themselves into the Active Directory as an admin user, make changes, and modify. So, it's mission-critical to make sure that AD is recovered from a clean point. With multiple elements involved in recovering applications, organizations need a single management point that can perform mass recovery.
Cleanroom Recovery support for Active Directory streamlines the entire recovery and recovery validation process. Customers don't need to deploy a new Active Directory or manually recover an Active Directory before performing a cleanroom recovery.
Benefits:
Cleanroom Recovery of VMs using Golden Image enables customers to use templates to create the Azure VM in the cleanroom before restoring the data to the VM.
