Today, we are excited to announce the general availability of Commvault® Cloud Backup & Recovery for Active Directory Enterprise Edition. This offering builds on our existing AD protection capabilities, which include change detection and granular object-level restores, and brings a new level of resilience by enabling automated, rapid recovery of the Active Directory forest. AD Recovery is Foundational to Continuous BusinessMicrosoft Active Directory (AD) is the cornerstone of most enterprise IT networks, providing essential authentication and authorization for business-critical applications and resources. When AD is damaged or taken completely offline, the critical applications and services it supports become inaccessible. Consider the impact: Bank staff can't access customer accounts. Doctors and nurses can't access medical records. Coders and developers can't publish code. Teams can't collaborate or chat to get work done.Without AD, the business cannot continue.

As we've journeyed with our customers over the past year, we’ve witnessed and responded to three key digital trends. These trends have greatly informed the development of our upcoming release, Commvault Cloud Platform Release 2024E, specifically designed to address the challenges posed by these trends. Cyber threats and the impact on response, recovery, and resilience Cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and targeted, significantly impacting response, recovery, and resilience. The cost of these incidents goes beyond ransom payments and impacts operational and business continuity. Although customers have become adept at disaster and operational recovery, the emergence of ransomware has altered the landscape.    Increasing data distribution across clouds, regions, and apps Complexity increases as data is distributed across clouds, regions, and apps.

Commvault Feature Release 11.28, currently in Tech Preview and set for General Availability in August 2022, will now be referred to as Commvault Platform Release 2022E. Like most software companies, Commvault regularly provides software updates in order to bring new features and functionality to our customers. We had originally referred to these as “Service Packs”, using a numbering scheme that identified both the software version and the update version. For example, software Version 11 (first offered in 2015), Service Pack 18. Because this is premises-based software – requiring the customer to download, update, and maintain it themselves – customers elect to update their software with varying frequency, depending on their business cycles and internal IT resources. To help this process, we would intermittently designate one as having Long-term Support (LTS). Long-term Support is a product lifecycle management policy in which a stable release of computer software is maintained for a lon
