Commvault, a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, announced the acquisition of Appranix, a cloud cyber resilience company. The company did not disclose the price at which the acquisition was made. Commvault is making this acquisition to help enterprises reduce downtime by recovering data rapidly via automation and next-generation cleanroom offerings.
But fast data recovery is only part of the equation. There are dependencies that are necessary to rebuild critical cloud applications, the data those applications rely on, and the cloud infrastructure that runs them all. Dependencies include networking, DNS configuration, application load balancing, security group access, and much more. As per the company, Appranix automates all of this and can reduce the time it takes to rebuild from days or weeks to, in some cases, hours or minutes.
“We are taking resilience to the next level by marrying Commvault’s extensive risk, readiness, and recovery capabilities with Appranix’s next-generation
“Complete cyber resilience is an aspirational goal for most enterprise customers. This acquisition makes cyber resilience-at-speed a reality by extending automated rebuild capabilities to distributed and dynamic cloud applications,” said Archana Venkatraman,Research Director, Cloud Ops and Cloud Data Management, IDC.
The Appranix team will join Commvault imminently, and the integration of Appranix’s technology into Commvault's portfolio is expected to be completed by this summer. In the meantime, customers can leverage Appranix for their cloud application discovery and rebuild requirements via the AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure marketplaces.
