Commvault Systems Inc. is deepening its integration with Google LLC’s cloud platform in order to help bolster the defenses of modern “agentic enterprises” and enhance their data resilience.
At Google Cloud Next 2026, the company announced today that it’s bringing the full Commvault Cloud platform to Google’s hyperscale cloud infrastructure. In addition, it’s bringing specialized, software-as-a-service-based rapid recovery capabilities to Google Cloud Storage through its subsidiary Clumio. The goal with these updates is to help provide organizations with a strategic “safety net” in case something should happen to their most sensitive data, analytics or artificial intelligence workloads running on the Google Cloud platform.
The timing of these updates is not accidental. Commvault said enterprises have raced so quickly to embrace “cloud-first” strategies and AI-driven business models that their ability to recover from a digital disaster – such as a ransomware attack, botched deployment or simple human error – is lagging behind the rate of innovation.
The company cites an internal study, which reveals that 55% of organizations lack confidence in their ability to recover critical systems and data in the wake of such an incident. This “resilience gap” is especially noticeable in multicloud environments, which are becoming increasingly common.
Commvault said 84% of enterprises intentionally spread their data and applications across multiple clouds to balance risk and better enable AI technologies. Though this can provide operating advantages, it also results in a sprawl of inconsistent protection policies that leave massive, petabyte-scale datasets extremely vulnerable to disaster.
That’s why Commvault is doing something about this. It’s bringing the full capabilities of the Commvault Cloud platform to Google Cloud, so organizations can treat cyber resilience as a core part of their cloud operating model. The integration covers the bulk of Google’s cloud services, including Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine, BigQuery and Cloud SQL, and also extends to Google’s productivity suite, Workspace, as well as Gmail and Google Drive.
Commvault Cloud provides enhanced resilience capabilities, including a Cloud Threat Scan tool that proactively hunts through data backups for known threats. This ensures that if a company does have to hit the “restore” button, it won’t simply re-infect its entire cloud environment with the same ransomware that just brought it down. Meanwhile, Air Gap Protect provides companies with an immutable out-of-band backup layer that isolates data from production systems to ensure that even if an attacker gains access to the primary environment a workload is running in, it cannot touch the recovery copies.
Commvault has also added a new protection recommendations capability that scans Google Cloud environments to identify any unprotected workloads and suggest policies that put an appropriate backup plan in place. As for Clumio, it’s addressing the specific needs of massive, petabyte-scale data lakes with Clumio for Google Cloud Storage. It’s a new offering that enables nearly instant recovery for the enormous, petabyte-sized datasets that feed into AI models. Delivered as a fully managed SaaS platform, this gives enterprises an easy way to secure their critical AI data in an air-gapped vault without worrying about the overheads of managing it.
Commvault said it’s making procurement and deployment as seamless as possible for enterprises, with its platform available via the Google Cloud Marketplace starting today. Companies will be able to purchase various data resilience services using their Google Cloud credits, simplifying billing.
Michelle Graff, Commvault’s senior vice president of global partners and channel sales, said the need to keep data associated with AI projects secure has never been higher than it is now. “By expanding the full breadth of the Commvault Cloud platform to Google Cloud, we are giving cloud-first and multicloud organizations choice, the ability to innovate with confidence and access to proven resilience,” she said.
