Commvault Partners with AWS for European Sovereign Cloud Launch
In a significant move for data management and cloud services, Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT) has announced its role as a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, which is set to debut in Brandenburg, Germany by the end of 2025. This collaboration aims to support European organizations in their quest for robust data resilience and security, addressing the tightening regulations governing data sovereignty across the continent.
A New Era of Cloud Services
As enterprises face increasing pressure to comply with data protection regulations such as GDPR and NIS2, the AWS European Sovereign Cloud promises independent operations that meet stringent requirements. Commvault's solutions will be integral to this offering, providing advanced cyber resilience features tailored specifically for cloud environments. This includes automated processes aimed at simplifying resource protection and ensuring clients can meet operational recovery demands efficiently.
Enhanced Features of the Commvault Cloud Platform
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud will host the Commvault Cloud platform, which integrates the latest innovations from Commvault’s 'Unity' platform. Key features will include:
- - AI-Powered Insights: The platform will offer AI-driven discovery and classification features that make onboarding and protecting resources easier than ever, making it a user-friendly SaaS solution.
- - Cyber Resilience Tools: Comprehensive capabilities such as air-gapped backups, integrated AI for threat detection, and response mechanisms will enable organizations to analyze and test processes without risking data integrity.
- - Legal and Technical Assurances: The service is designed with strong technical controls and legal protections, ensuring that data remains within the EU and is handled solely by AWS personnel residing there.
These enhancements aim not only to provide security but to elevate the operational efficiency of businesses that increasingly rely on cloud technology.
Meeting Europe’s Sovereignty Requirements
Darren Thomson, Field CTO – Security, EMEAI at Commvault, highlighted the urgency for organizations to adopt sovereign solutions amid rising cyber threats. He stated, “Customers across Europe are under immense pressure to meet sovereignty requirements while defending against escalating cyber threats.” Commvault aims to provide the critical protection and recovery features necessary for businesses as they navigate these challenges.
The partnership builds on Commvault's established relationship with AWS, evidenced by recent accolades such as the AWS Resilience Competency in the Recovery category and recognition as the 2025 AWS Global Storage Partner of the Year. These acknowledgments reflect Commvault's proactive approach and commitment to enhancing digital sovereignty for enterprises via cloud-native solutions.
Availability and Future Prospects
The launch of Commvault Cloud on AWS European Sovereign Cloud is anticipated in the first half of 2026, with final pricing details forthcoming prior to the platform's rollout. This specific focus on the European market indicates a growing commitment by both Commvault and AWS to provide tailored solutions to meet the distinct needs of European organizations focused on resilience and compliance in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
