Commvault Intelligent Data Services Platform

Intelligent Data Services delivered by Commvault present solutions to overcome what the vendor describes as five existential threats:

• Data fragmentation and failure points
• Increasing surface for cyber attacks
  
• Government and privacy requirements
  
• Inability to scale and innovate with market demands
  
• Lack of automation and low productivity

The solution aims to close the "Business Integrity Gap". The Intelligent Data Services Platform combines data management, data security, data compliance, data transformation, and data insights, handled from a unified platform across hybrid clouds, multi-clouds, and on-premises environments.

Data Security
Data security helps organizations protect and recover from security threats including data breaches and ransomware, while controlling access to key data. Included in this service are Commvault’s advanced threat and anomaly detection— part of a multi-layered protection capability that helps mitigate the impact of threats to data.

Data Compliance and Governance
Data compliance and governance helps organizations manage data access to drive regulatory compliance and mitigate data privacy risks – critical components in managing enterprise data and controlling data sprawl. By providing visibility into data access and potential exposure, this data service assists organizations in adhering to data privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA, and also enables organizations to efficiently and rapidly respond to information-related actions or requests including legal holds and other data demands

Data transformation
Data transformation allows organizations to move data across environments for application modernization and flexible data usage. This includes enabling the shifting of workloads from legacy environments to cloud-native, SaaS, and containerized workloads, as well as repurposing data for different uses, needs, or lines of business, including DevOps/DevTest, marketing, analytics, and security testing.

Data insights
Data insights enables organizations to apply machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI/ML) to drive insights from their data and use that to optimize and automate IT process. This includes automating the placement of data into its appropriate storage tier based on SLAs and usage patterns, to right-size cost and performance. It also includes pattern recognition to identify sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII) and ensure it is appropriately protected. All of these examples help organizations reduce costs, reduce risk, and facilitate process automation.
