Platform Updates

 Imagine asking an AI assistant, “Back up my Docusign documents” — and watching it just happen, securely, with full audit trails and policy enforcement.That’s the promise of Conversational Resilience, a new capability in the Commvault Cloud platform announced at SHIFT that lets you manage and protect enterprise data through simple, natural-language interactions with AI assistants like ChatGPT Enterprise or Claude by Anthropic - all governed by Commvault’s MCP server.Whether you’re a database admin, app owner, or part of a DevOps team, you will be able to perform resilience operations directly in your AI workspace — while your data protection teams maintain centralized governance and compliance in Commvault Cloud.  What’s Powering It: The MCP Server Behind the scenes is the Commvault Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server — the secure middleware that connects AI assistants to Commvault Cloud APIs. E

We’ve made some adjustments to the Commvault Documentation site to align the content more closely with the product itself. Nothing is going away, and there are no changes to the SaaS documentation other than a label update in the drop-down menu. We’ve heard a lot of feedback that the terms Essential and Expert are confusing, so we’ve simplified the naming to make it clearer where to find the content you need.Here are more details on the changes you’ll see: CommCell Console (Expert) DocumentationThe Expert docs will be renamed to “CommCell Console.” The Documentation team will no longer make regular updates to the Expert documentation. Critical updates may still be applied as needed, but customers should expect new content and enhancements to be focused elsewhere. The Feedback tool will remain disabled.

From cloud and on-premises workload protection to data and application security, Commvault continues to exp

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 ca
