Commvault has entered into a strategic partnership with IT services powerhouse Kyndryl and data infrastructure leader Pure Storage, marking a pivotal move to bolster incident recovery capabilities and regulatory compliance for enterprise clients worldwide.

Under the collaboration, Kyndryl will leverage its global service footprint and deep implementation expertise to integrate Commvault’s data protection and recovery platform with Pure Storage’s high-performance backup architecture. The joint offering is designed to help organisations rapidly recover from data disruptions—such as ransomware attacks, system failures, or human error—while maintaining alignment with evolving regulatory mandates.

The integrated solution combines Pure Storage’s snapshots, replication, and fast data access capabilities with Commvault’s intelligent automation, threat detection, and disaster recovery orchestration. Kyndryl will manage deployment, tuning, and ongoing lifecycle operations, ensuring seamless integration with clients’ IT environments and industry-specific requirements.

A core innovation of the partnership is the introduction of a new automated incident recovery playbook. This orchestrated workflow accelerates recovery timelines by dynamically identifying affected data, launching failover mechanisms, notifying key stakeholders, and validating full system restoration. Microsoft Active Directory, SQL databases, and virtual machine environments are among the supported assets.

To support regulatory compliance, such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and industry-specific mandates, the joint solution includes features like immutable backup retention, end-to-end encryption, audit logging, and tamper-proof storage. These capabilities enhance data governance and simplify the compliance certification process.

The partnership also introduces a “continuous assurance” model, where clients receive real-time health dashboards, proactive anomaly detection, and periodic compliance check reports. This approach dramatically reduces both incident response time and manual oversight while preserving adherence to service-level agreements and policy frameworks.

Target customers include financial services, healthcare providers, retailers, manufacturing firms, and public-sector organisations, sectors that face stringent recovery time objectives and heavy regulatory demands. The offering addresses common challenges such as siloed backup silos, slow data restores, and audit fatigue.

For existing customers, Kyndryl and Pure Storage will provide rollout workshops, health assessments, and integration accelerators. Commvault will offer enhanced training and certification programs to ensure implementation teams are fully equipped to manage complex recovery and compliance workflows.

This alliance builds on previous integrations among the trio, reinforcing their commitment to jointly address data resilience and governance across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It also reflects a rising demand from enterprises for tightly integrated, full-stack data protection solutions capable of scaling under pressure.

As cyber threats evolve and regulations tighten globally, the newly launched offering promises to deliver faster recoverability, stronger audit-ready controls, and simplified operations—positioning the partners to serve large organisations grappling with critical IT continuity and compliance challenges.
