Commvault scores top five rankings in 2025 Gartner data report
Commvault has achieved the top ranking in five out of six evaluated Use Cases in the 2025 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Backup and Data Protection Platforms report. The report assessed the capabilities of technology providers across key Use Cases such as Hybrid, Multicloud, SaaS, Data Services, Disaster Recovery, and Ransomware Protection, Detection and Recovery. Commvault is noted as the only provider to have received a score of 4.0 or higher out of a possible 5 across every one of these categories. The five categories in which Commvault ranked highest are Hybrid, Multicloud, SaaS, Data Services, and Disaster Recovery. The sixth evaluated category, Ransomware Protection, Detection and Recovery, also saw Commvault receive a score of 4.0 or higher, although it did not attain the very highest listed rank in that area. Commvault's leadership position The company's performance in the 2025 Critical Capabilities report follows closely on the heels of its designation as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms, marking the 14th consecutive occasion Commvault has been placed in the Leader category for this area. Commvault Cloud continues to set the standard for modern cyber resilience and recovery, especially as organizations face increasing pressure to defend against cyberattacks, streamline recovery, and protect workloads wherever they live," said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer, Commvault. "We believe this recognition from Gartner further validates our strengths in architecture, cloud native data protection, and the customer-centric AI and ML capabilities. In addition to being recognised in the Critical Capabilities report, Commvault was named a Sample Vendor in the 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for Data Security Technologies. This inclusion was, according to Commvault, indicative of its development into areas of cyber resiliency beyond conventional backup and recovery. Industry context Gartner's Hype Cycle provides an industry framework for assessing the maturity and adoption rates of new technologies and applications, as well as their suitability for business challenges and opportunities. The methodology seeks to offer insight into how technologies may develop over time, aiding organisations in their planning and deployment strategies. Gartner's published research assesses market participants independently and states that it does not endorse any particular vendor, product or service. Gartner also emphasises that its research should not be interpreted as statements of fact or recommendations limited to those receiving the highest ratings. The Critical Capabilities assessment, compiled by analysts Jason Donham, Rizvan Hussain, Sankalp Rastogi, Michael Hoeck, and Rene Rodriguez, forms a supplement to Gartner's Magic Quadrant evaluation, which is widely used by IT and business leaders to compare providers in the enterprise data protection arena. Commvault profile Commvault's solutions are targeted at organisations adopting hybrid cloud strategies, and the company currently works with over 100,000 customers worldwide. Its stated focus is on providing a platform for cyber resilience that aims to combine data security and recovery features. The comprehensive nature of the evaluation criteria in Gartner's Critical Capabilities report and Hype Cycle signals an ongoing demand for robust and flexible data protection, particularly as businesses increasingly look for scalable solutions to defend against cyber threats and ensure continuity of operations across diverse IT environments.

Commvault Extends Support to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization Workloads for Enhanced, Cloud-Native Cyber Resilience
Delivers unified cyber resilience for virtual machines and containers on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization TINTON FALLS, N.J., May 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, today announced it is extending its Kubernetes protection to support virtual machines (VMs) running on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. This new capability enhances cyber resilience for organizations moving to modern application environments. Containerized workload adoption is rapidly growing: Gartner predicts 90% of G2000 companies will use container management tools by 20271, and the Containers as a Service (CaaS) market is forecasted to hit nearly $USD 44B by 20342. This surge makes integrated data protection and recoverability critical. Enterprises must mitigate downtime from ransomware and other disruptions while managing complex data protection across hybrid environments. Using disparate tools for VMs and containers can create overhead, duplicate efforts, and heighten risk. These are just some of the reasons a unified cyber resilience strategy is vital for protection against evolving threats, reducing complexity, streamlining operations, and lowering total cost of ownership (TCO). Commvault addresses this by enabling customers to automatically discover, protect, and recover VMs running on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization alongside their containerized workloads, all through the Commvault Cloud platform. These capabilities can be particularly valuable for DevOps, SRE, IT/backup admins, and technology leaders (CIOs, CISOs, CTOs) that are managing cloud-native estates. For customers, this means: Robust Cyber Resilience: Commvault offers air-gapped and immutable backups with advanced recovery for VMs on Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, enabling improved business continuity in the face of ransomware and other threats. Faster and More Flexible Recovery: Customers can restore VMs both in-place and out-of-place, including VM configurations, accelerating deployment and minimizing downtime. Unified Protection for Hybrid Workloads: Customers can simplify operations by managing both traditional and cloud-native workloads through a single platform, reducing tool sprawl and operational silos. Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency: Customers can eliminate the need for separate backup infrastructure or tools for VMs, lowering TCO and increasing administrative efficiency. "We're proud to deepen our collaboration with Red Hat through support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization. Together, we're committed to delivering industry-leading cyber resilience and data protection across hybrid environments for our joint customers," said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer, Commvault. "Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is an included feature of Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes, providing a modern platform for organizations to streamline VM migrations and management on a trusted, more consistent foundation. By collaborating with Commvault, we're enabling enterprise-grade data protection for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization workloads, giving users greater confidence as they run and scale their essential virtualized applications," said Ashesh Badani, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer, Red Hat. AvailabilityCommvault support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization will be available for early adopters in early summer and is targeted for general availability by early fall. Pricing is aligned with existing Commvault Kubernetes protection models. For more information about Commvault support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, click here.
