Commvault Introduces Clumio for Apache Iceberg on AWS

Commvault, a leading provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, has launched Clumio for Apache Iceberg on AWS. This innovative solution delivers Iceberg-aware, air-gapped cyber resilience, empowering organizations to accelerate the recovery of their critical AI and analytics workloads at a massive scale. Commvault is setting a new standard for data lakehouse protection, addressing the growing need for robust data resilience in modern data lakehouses built on Apache Iceberg.

The adoption of Apache Iceberg is on the rise, with technology leaders such as Netflix, Apple, and Airbnb relying on it. Over 70% of IT and data professionals expect the data lakehouse to become the primary architecture for their analytics within the next three years. However, native snapshots often lack true air-gapped copies and are not designed for large-scale, point-in-time recovery, leaving organizations at risk for data loss, ransomware attacks, and compliance risks.

Key Features and Benefits of Clumio for Apache Iceberg

• Iceberg-Aware Data Resilience: Delivers fast, reliable, and transactionally consistent backups that intrinsically understand Iceberg table structures, eliminating manual, error-prone restores and supporting a range of recovery options.
• Immutable, Air-Gapped Copies for Cyber Resilience: Safeguards backups in an isolated environment that is designed to be secure, protecting critical data against ransomware, account compromise, and accidental or malicious deletions.
• Achieve Automated Compliance and Governance: Helps organizations cost-effectively support compliance and governance requirements with unlimited, long-term snapshot retention, all without impacting the performance of the live data lake.
• Optimize Storage Costs and Footprint: Reduces backup windows and cuts storage costs by capturing only the changes made after the initial full backup.

Making the Entire Data Pipeline Resilient

Clumio for Apache Iceberg marks the latest step in Commvault’s strategy to deliver comprehensive resilience for the entire AWS data pipeline. Following the introduction of unique resilience capabilities for Amazon S3 and DynamoDB, Commvault now brings deep and extensive resilience capabilities critical to the data lakehouse layer, protecting customers at every stage of their data lifecycle in ways that no other vendor can match.

According to Woon Jung, Chief Technology Officer, Cloud Native, Commvault, "The data that powers AI and analytics is one of the most valuable assets for an organization, yet it’s often the most exposed. With Clumio for Apache Iceberg, we are providing the industry’s first true safety net for the data lakehouse. For the first time, organizations can protect their AI and analytics data with an air-gapped, automated solution, allowing them to accelerate innovation with confidence."

Archana Venkatraman, Senior Research Director, IDC, added, "The explosion of data lakehouse environments for AI has created a blind spot in many enterprises’ data protection strategies. Apache-aware data protection such as Commvault’s Clumio for Apache Iceberg directly addresses emerging governance risks with air-gapped, transactionally aware recovery that is becoming an imperative now. It’s a timely solution for a fast-rising market vulnerability."
