Hyderabad: US-headquartered data protection and data management software provider, Commvault, is helping enterprises build comprehensive data protection and resiliency strategies, as they embark on digital transformation.
The company is helping end users in securing their data. There are also efforts in building its artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities further to alert clients on anything to do with their data management and take necessary action.
Commvault is also focusing on providing ransomware protection as there is a 400 per cent increase in ransomware attacks in the last 18 months. It further provides copies of data if clients need data recovery if there is any disaster. On the SaaS (software as a service) front, the company is looking at cloud data protection and backup as a service, through its Metallic cloud storage service.
Anshuman Rai, area vice president, India & South Asia, Commvault, told Telangana Today, in an exclusive interview, “Our products are focused on data protection and recovery, where the data could be at the end users’ location or data centres, be in mainframes, virtual machines, or in cloud. Second area where we offer data resiliency is that of disaster recovery to help clients recover data by replicating one cloud to another, one premise to cloud or vice versa depending on the customer strategy.”
“We help companies to protect their data, recover if there are any challenges, and have a clear data strategy for the future. Work from home has increased the surface of cyberattacks. Data today is no more just in data centres. There is data in devices, data centres and cloud. Data is fragmented and change in location and type of data has put pressure on IT security teams and customers to look at a clear mechanism for data resiliency,” he added.
Sector outlook
Rai further explained that scale of companies is not a matter of concern. Problems and risks are common. Both large and small companies today realise the need for data protection. Sectors such as BFSI, healthcare and pharmaceuticals are the frontrunners in adopting advanced data protection measures. Diverse sector players such as ITeS and tyre companies are equally keen to invest in data resiliency today.
Global and local laws/compliances are certainly impacting data protection investments, particularly in the sectors such as pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and financial services, which are highly regulated.
Rai informed, “We have a solution that helps the client have ‘data about data’ under our eDiscovery solution, which helps in understanding what kind of data is sitting where, how compliant it is, when it was protected, when it was touched and what is its legal ownership.”
Operations in India
“Commvault has field, engineering, global support, shared services, and sales operations spread across Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune and Delhi. The company has over 750 people across India. Hyderabad plays an important role for the company as the engineering activity started from the city,” he added.
Commvault has shown growth quarter-on-quarter despite Covid-induced challenges. Cloud adoption and ransomware solutions will drive growth in future. “Clients are looking at end user data more seriously, and we are helping clients protect that. The number of end user protection enquiries is constantly increasing,” Rai noted..
