Commvault, a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, announced the acquisition of Appranix, a cloud cyber resilience company. The company did not disclose the price at which the acquisition was made. Commvault is making this acquisition to help enterprises reduce downtime by recovering data rapidly via automation and next-generation cleanroom offerings.
But fast data recovery is only part of the equation. There are dependencies that are necessary to rebuild critical cloud applications, the data those applications rely on, and the cloud infrastructure that runs them all. Dependencies include networking, DNS configuration, application load balancing, security group access, and much more. As per the company, Appranix automates all of this and can reduce the time it takes to rebuild from days or weeks to, in some cases, hours or minutes.
