Insights
Commvault's Factory Reset enhances cyber recovery, reducing 24-day average recovery times through automated infrastructure restoration and threat scanning integration.
Commvault's new Factory Reset capability addresses a crucial challenge in cyber recovery: infrastructure restoration. According to studies cited in the announcement, organizations typically spend 24 days recovering after cyberattacks, with significant time dedicated to rebuilding the infrastructure that supports data. Factory Reset accelerates this process by enabling rapid restoration using pre-defined, validated clean images with customizable recovery point-in-time capabilities.
The technical advantage is threefold: First, organizations avoid restoring potentially compromised infrastructure since images are hardened and verified beforehand. Second, once clean infrastructure is restored, data rehydration can proceed quickly. Third, administrators can focus on validating recovered data rather than troubleshooting infrastructure issues.
The integration with Commvault Cloud Threat Scan creates a multi-layered verification approach, ensuring both infrastructure and data are clean before production restoration. This addresses a common failure point in recovery processes where malware remnants cause reinfection.
Customer evidence substantiates these benefits. Chart Industries reports dramatic improvements, stating recovery previously took "more than seven hours," but now ensures "zero wait time for most applications." This real-world validation demonstrates tangible operational impact.
From an architectural perspective, Commvault's cloud-native approach enables multiple parallel cleanroom environments without hardware contamination concerns. This represents a fundamental shift from traditional recovery methods toward more agile, distributed approaches better aligned with modern threat models.
Commvault's Cleanroom Recovery extension to MSPs expands market reach while addressing critical recovery time challenges, strengthening competitive positioning.
Commvault's strategic enhancement of Cleanroom Recovery represents a calculated move to strengthen market position in the cyber resilience sector. By addressing the 24-day average recovery timeframe cited in the announcement, Commvault targets a critical pain point for enterprises experiencing cyberattacks.
The extension of these capabilities to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) creates a meaningful channel expansion opportunity. This enables Commvault to scale its market presence through partners without proportional internal sales force growth. The approach capitalizes on existing MSP client relationships while providing these service providers with enhanced offerings.
Testimonials from MSP partners demonstrate early market validation. Databarracks cites "peace of mind" as a key benefit, while Meridian IT explicitly states the integration with Cloud Threat Scan is "a differentiator in the market." Verinext highlights the comprehensiveness of the solution, indicating service providers see tangible value in offering these capabilities to clients.
The announcement's timing coincides with RSA 2025, positioning Commvault to showcase these capabilities at a premier industry event (booths #N-5678 and #N-4308), maximizing potential customer engagement and market visibility.
The Factory Reset feature, combined with previously announced capabilities like AI-enabled Cleanpoint Validation, creates a more comprehensive recovery solution addressing both infrastructure and data recovery challenges. This product depth potentially increases customer retention by solving more of the recovery workflow within a single vendor solution.
Commvault extends the power of its advanced Cleanroom Recovery technology to managed service providers focused on keeping enterprises resilient
Studies show that it takes enterprises 24 days, on average, to recover after a cyber incident.[1] Much of that time is not only spent recovering the data, but the infrastructure – databases, applications, and operating systems – that power and run the data. Commvault accelerates the infrastructure recovery process by bringing what's called "Factory Reset" to the company's Cleanroom Recovery technology.
With Factory Reset, which is generally available today, after an attack takes place, companies can rapidly restore their infrastructure within a cleanroom, using a pre-defined, validated, clean image, and, unlike traditional resets, offers a customizable recovery point-in-time. This advancement, which is also referred to as "pave / repave," is significant for a few reasons. First, companies don't have to worry about restoring infrastructure that's tainted by ransomware. The image is hardened and verified in advance. Second, once the infrastructure is restored, organizations can quickly rehydrate those systems with data, helping to speed up the overall recovery process. Third, with Factory Reset, administrators can focus on validating recovered data in the cleanroom instead of worrying about the underlying infrastructure.
"Commvault Cleanroom Recovery isn't just about having an isolated environment; it delivers tangible results that impact the business. Previously, recovery could take more than seven hours, causing significant disruption. Today, our Cleanroom environment ensures zero wait time for most applications—services are ready instantly," said Nate Hauenstein, IT Global Infrastructure & Operations Director, Chart Industries, Inc. "Reducing that downtime so dramatically is critical – it minimizes disruption, protects revenue, and proves the value of investing in advanced, validated recovery solutions like Commvault."
Commvault Cloud Threat Scan + Cleanroom
Commvault is not just focused on recovering clean infrastructure, but clean data after a cyberattack. This is why Commvault is also bringing its threat scanning capabilities to Cleanroom Recovery. With Commvault Cloud Threat Scan, organizations can scan their recovered data in a cleanroom as another way of making sure their data is clean. This gives security and IT teams an added layer of confidence and can help enterprises remain in a state of continuous business after bad actors strike.
Extending Cleanroom Recovery to Managed Service Providers
As more and more companies determine what's required to be minimally viable following an attack, managed service providers (MSPs) are also focused on helping enterprises be resilient. Commvault is now extending the power of Cleanroom Recovery to MSPs so that they can offer this technology to their customers.
"One of the key benefits of Cleanroom Recovery is the peace of mind it provides. Our clients know that their data is being handled with the utmost care and precision," said James Watts, Managing Director, Databarracks. "With these new capabilities, Commvault is delivering a controlled environment with increased accessibility and choice, real-time threat detection that helps minimize the risk of reinfection, and a recovery process that's as efficient and reliable as possible."
"We're thrilled for the new enhancements to Cleanroom Recovery. The integration with Commvault Cloud Threat Scan is a differentiator in the market, offering real-time threat detection and response. Plus, the automated recovery of file shares and the Factory Reset with pave/repave capabilities significantly reduce downtime and help ensure that our clients' systems are restored to a pristine state," said Greg Jehs, VP Managed Services, Meridian IT. "Simply put, the continuous innovation and growth around Cleanroom Recovery enables us to provide our clients with the best service possible."
"The integration of Factory Reset and Threat Scan into Cleanroom Recovery is a testament to the evolving nature of cyber threats and the need for resilience that spans infrastructure and data," said Matt Bynum, Senior VP, Managed Services, Verinext. "These features will enable us to provide a more robust and comprehensive service, helping us ensure that our clients' infrastructures are not only restored but also free from any malicious elements."
Building on a Good Thing
These advancements with Cleanroom Recovery build on previously announced capabilities that empower enterprises to advance resilience. For example, with Cleanroom Recovery organizations have the ability to rapidly and regularly test and, if necessary, retest their cyber recovery plans with ease across their IT infrastructure. Additionally, AI-enabled Cleanpoint™ Validation automatically empowers customers to rapidly identify the last clean recovery point. And, with Cleanroom Recovery, users can customize recovery sequences, so data is recovered in a logical order.
"When we built Cleanroom Recovery, we intentionally architected it as a cloud-native solution to fundamentally change how organizations approach recovery — not just after an incident, but proactively through automated, high-frequency testing," said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Commvault. "Unlike traditional approaches, cloud-based cleanrooms enable customers to spin up multiple isolated recovery environments in parallel, without concerns around compromised firmware or underlying hardware. And we're not stopping at data recovery — we're doubling down on infrastructure recovery, automation, and orchestration. As threat actors become more sophisticated, we're helping our customers stay ahead with aggressive innovation and operational resilience at scale."
