Lenovo and Commvault Deliver Better Data Protection and Recovery Solutions Together

As we continue to operate in such a fast-paced and data-driven business environment, ensuring the security, accessibility, and recoverability of critical business data has never been more important. It is for this exact reason that Lenovo and Commvault have come together to deliver next gen data protection solutions that meet the needs of modern enterprise organizations.

Commvault delivers a data protection platform purpose-built for the modern world. By coupling this platform with Lenovo’s award-winning servers and storage offerings, both industry leaders are poised to provide comprehensive, cutting-edge solutions to address these critical needs efficiently and effectively.

“…Lenovo customers now have a one-stop-shop for Commvault's industry leading data protection software and SaaS solutions along with the entire Lenovo storage and compute portfolio,” said Alexander Coombes, Senior Director Global Alliances, Commvault. “Together we can deliver scalable data security solutions that help organizations prevent cyber threats while ensuring data availability and recoverability across their entire hybrid cloud environment.”

In an era where data is often referred to as the lifeblood of a company, businesses face an array of challenges related to data management and protection, including:

• Data Volume and Complexity: The sheer volume and complexity of data generated daily can overwhelm traditional data protection methods.
• Cybersecurity Threats: The rise in cyber threats necessitates strong data protection strategies to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and ransomware attacks.
• Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to various regulatory requirements concerning data storage, privacy, and security is critical for legal and ethical reasons.
• Downtime Mitigation: Minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity in the event of a disaster or system failure is vital to maintain operations and customer trust.

Together, Lenovo and Commvault deliver joint solutions that address these challenges and provide customers the resilience and recoverability they need at a low TCO.

Commvault is a recognized leader in data protection and security, with 26+ years of experience and over 100,000 organizations relying on their products to protect their most valuable data.

With ransomware and cyberattacks on the rise and more pervasive and autonomous than ever, how organizations secure and protect their data needs to adapt just as quickly as the attackers are.
