bedrijfsnieuws over Commvault recovering Active Directory faster

Active Directory Pre Recover cuts Active Directory (AD) recovery timelines from hours down to minutes.

Built upon Commvault’s existing tooling including Cleanroom and Threat Scan, this capability generates a sanitized AD standby replica within an isolated, air‑gapped environment. Threat Scan runs ongoing inspection across AD backups, ensuring the standby instance remains free of malicious payloads. Businesses avoid lengthy full‑forest recovery operations and cumbersome identity synchronization work, enabling failover to this trusted replica within mere minutes.

Rajiv Kottomtharayil, Commvault’s Chief Products Officer, commented: “Identity underpins every enterprise application, end‑user account and business workflow. Commvault has already achieved meaningful gains by shortening identity recovery from weeks to hours, and we are further advancing toward near‑real‑time service availability. This delivers speedier restoration of key business systems and boosts organizational confidence amid cyber‑recovery scenarios.”

According to Commvault, enterprises hit by AD outages today have two imperfect workarounds: maintaining complex account replication inside secondary identity‑and‑access‑management platforms, or enduring prolonged full‑forest restore cycles. With the AD standby copy housed inside Cleanroom, organizations can sustain trusted access to vital systems just minutes after production identity infrastructure goes offline.

Commvault Active Directory Pre Recover will enter early‑access release over the next several months as a component of its Identity Resilience product portfolio. All enterprise AD license holders receive this feature at no additional cost, alongside a lightweight Cleanroom edition. The solution will roll out worldwide via Commvault’s global partner network.
