Commvault, a leader in unified resilience at enterprise scale, is introducing Commvault Cloud Unified Data Vault, a cloud-native service that extends Commvault’s trusted, air-gapped protection and resilience capabilities to data written using the S3 protocol.
According to the company, this brings S3-based application and AI data under a unified, policy-driven protection framework for enterprise-grade resilience.
By providing a secure, Commvault-managed S3-compatible endpoint, Unified Data Vault allows organizations to apply policy-driven, immutable protection to modern and custom workloads, including emerging AI workloads, without installing agents or building new data management silos.
Unified Data Vault gives teams a simple path to move S3-compatible backups directly into Commvault-managed, air-gapped storage where data automatically inherits encryption, deduplication, immutability, and policy-based governance, the company said.
“S3 fundamentally changed how data is stored. Unified Data Vault changes how that data is protected,” said Pranay Ahlawat, chief technology and AI officer, Commvault. “For the first time, developers and data teams can write directly to a Commvault-managed S3 endpoint and instantly gain encryption, immutability, and policy control—all without agents or added complexity. It’s enterprise-grade cloud protection built for the builder.”
Key customer benefits include:
- Agentless simplicity: Enables applications, databases, and workflows to write directly to a Commvault-managed S3 endpoint—no agents or custom scripts required.
- Automated enterprise protection: Provides immutability, encryption, deduplication, and retention controls the moment backups are written.
- Developer-ready programmability: Integrates with native S3 workflows and APIs for frictionless DevOps automation.
- Centralized policy governance: Applies consistent protection and user-set compliance policies across clouds, regions, and workloads.
Commvault Cloud Unified Data Vault is available via Early Access with General Availability targeted for spring 2026.
The new service will also be available through Commvault’s partner ecosystem, enabling managed service providers, resellers, and cloud service partners to extend Commvault Cloud to new S3-native workloads. Partners gain new opportunities to deliver differentiated, value-added cyber resiliency, the company said.
