Commvault have announced the following enhancements to their product offerings.
Hybrid Workloads
Throughput Enhancements for Azure VM Restores
Enhancements to Azure VM restores include faster data retrieval with ReadAhead, integration with Azure Stack, better error handling and retries, and an increased cache size for improved performance. Additionally, excessive logging has been turned off, and a performance summary is now provided after each backup/restore job.
Support for Google Cloud Platform Key Management Service
Commvault Cloud now supports GCP Key Management Service (KMS), allowing users to protect their encryption keys with GCP KMS before storing them in the CommServe database, ensuring enhanced data security and control.
Support for Azure Trusted Launch VMs
Commvault now supports Trusted Launch VMs, adding a robust layer of security to protect your Azure virtual machines. This feature provides peace of mind with the integrity of your VMs during the launch process, safeguarding your critical data.
Public & Private Cloud Protection
VMware Region-based Backups in vSphere Environment
Region-based backups for your VMware hypervisor can now be performed easily using an access node within the same region as your vSphere environment. This feature provides a more efficient and optimized backup process, enhances data security, and reduces transfer time for faster data recovery.
SaaS Applications
Raise Visibility of Group Policy Objects to Simplify Active Directory Restore
Group Policy Objects (GPOs) are stored partially in SYSVOL files and partially in Active Directory. They can be difficult to restore in the directory without knowing exactly where they are located. This feature simplifies the restoration of GPOs by improving their accessibility, allowing users to locate and restore them quickly and easily.
Guided Restore Wizard for M365
Users now have an easy and interactive process for selecting options for in or out of place restores, restoring individual items or groups, and more. This wizard-based process improves the overall experience, providing a seamless way to configure backups and restore data.
Security
Use Machine Learning to Detect Suspicious Extension Changes
Use machine learning algorithms and historical behaviors to detect suspicious file extension changes occurring within backups. This provides timely, accurate alerts of changes that could indicate threat activity, which may impact your ability to recover clean data. Anomalies are shown on the Threat Indicators dashboard and can be scanned with Threat Scan for deeper analysis, or data can be recovered to a pre-anomalous clean state. This capability enhances Commvault's overall anomaly and threat detection and helps organizations secure their data faster to remain resilient to attack.
Storage Solutions
Default Compliance Lock on all Air Gap Protect Storage Pools
The Compliance Lock feature is introduced for all Air Gap Protect (AGP) storage pools to provide enhanced data protection by enabling a security lock on new and existing AGP Storage pools. Users can benefit from self-service support for resetting locks, which is equipped with a 24-hour auto re-enable functionality, promoting better cyber resilience.
