Driving Innovation with our GSI Partners

Our ecosystem of partnerships play an important role in ensuring Commvault continues to be at the forefront of developing cyber resilience solutions that anticipate emerging needs while making operational and financial sense for the industries and market segments we serve. 

For this reason, Commvault gathered an elite group of senior executives, thought leaders, and security experts from the world’s leading Global System Integrators, including Cognizant, HCLTech, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, Tata Consultancy Services, and Wipro, at our inaugural GSI SHIFT Partner Summit to discuss the increasingly AI-driven cyberthreat landscape today’s enterprises face and what it means for safeguarding the data of our mutual customers. This is the first of an ongoing series of GSI Partner Summits we’re instituting. 

A shift in defending and recovering from cyberthreats

Our discussions centered on how to help organizations identify threats earlier, respond faster, and return to business as usual with minimal impact by employing AI to fight new breeds of cyberthreats. First and foremost, we all agreed that this requires organizations to shift their thinking around cybersecurity and data protection and to assume their organizations will suffer a data breach. The new norm is when it will happen, not if  it will happen. And that the best strategy to meet a cyberattack, is to have well-documented and tested processes to create a reliable, fast recovery across complex hybrid data environments.  

We brought our elite team of product leaders and technical experts to share our vision and stepped through key digital transformation use cases such as modernizing data centers, adopting cloud-first or hybrid cloud strategies, and re-platforming business-critical applications. In every scenario, underlining each use case is the fundamental need to strengthen organization’s cybersecurity postures using intelligence and automation, as well as the importance of unifying IT and Security teams operations. Our partners didn’t hold back in diving into the nuances of our innovations and challenging us with new use cases. This dialog is priceless in the shaping of our product roadmap and future innovations.

There is no greater testament to the effectiveness of our technology than the hundreds of Global 2000 enterprises that are using Commvault solutions as part of the larger business transformations that our partners are driving. We were honored to have our GSI partners take the stage to share a few case studies on how they’ve integrated our solutions into their engagements with industry giants and market leaders to deliver cyber resilience and, in most cases, lower total cost of ownership!

 At the close of our first GSI SHIFT Partner Summit we want to recognize the importance of our collaborations with global system integration partners in developing and vetting robust solutions to address the most challenging data resilience issues in innovative ways. We value all our partners’ expertise, experience, thought leadership and investment. Each has uniquely contributed to the value and industry leading position Commvault enjoys around the world and is a testament to our mutual trust and commitment.
