Commvault brings cloud resilience tools to Google Cloud

Thu, 23rd Apr 2026 (Today)

Commvault has made its Commvault Cloud platform available on Google Cloud, including through Google Cloud Marketplace.

The offering brings Commvault's cyber resilience and data protection tools to Google Cloud customers running modern cloud and workplace workloads. It supports BigQuery, Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud SQL, and Google Workspace services such as Gmail and Google Drive.

The platform includes threat scanning for backups, isolated backup storage designed to protect against ransomware and insider threats, and automated policy recommendations based on workload classification. It also analyses discovered cloud resources for protection risk and reports which workloads are protected and which are under-protected.

The launch comes as companies expand cloud-based and AI-led operations while facing pressure to recover quickly from cyber incidents. Commvault cited its own research showing that 55% of organisations are not confident in their ability to recover systems and data after a major cyber attack.

Availability through Google Cloud Marketplace gives customers and partners another way to buy the software. The product is sold globally through a credit-based pricing model tied to usage.

Michael L. Matthews, Vice President of Global Learning & Innovation at Oral Roberts University, described the operational impact for users managing complex environments.

"In today's AI era, business continuity depends on how quickly and confidently organizations can recover from disruption," Matthews said.

"Commvault's collaboration with Google Cloud helps us simplify complexity, improve visibility across workloads, and strengthen cyber resilience to keep operations running."

Commvault presented the rollout as part of a broader push to serve cloud-first and multi-cloud customers seeking a single resilience platform across different environments. The move reflects growing demand for backup, recovery, and security tools that work across multiple cloud providers rather than being tied to a single infrastructure platform.

Michelle Graff, Senior Vice President of Global Partners & Channel Sales at Commvault, said the expansion gives customers more flexibility in how they build and protect cloud operations.

"As AI accelerates the pace of transformation, the stakes for keeping data and workloads resilient in the cloud have never been higher," Graff said. "By expanding the full breadth of the Commvault Cloud platform to Google Cloud, we are giving cloud-first and multi-cloud organizations choice, the ability to innovate with confidence, and access to proven resilience."

Industry analysts say the announcement also points to a broader shift in how cyber recovery tools are being integrated into mainstream cloud buying and deployment models. Vendors are increasingly placing backup, recovery, and data security products in hyperscale cloud marketplaces, where customers can buy software using existing cloud spending commitments.

"This collaboration highlights how cyber resilience is evolving from a standalone capability into a core part of the cloud operating model," said Mike Leone, VP & Principal Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. "By reducing adoption barriers and aligning with how organizations procure and deploy in the cloud, Commvault is rethinking, improving, and simplifying how resilience appears in Google Cloud environments."
