One Commvault backup India standard for every workload.
How a Chennai NBFC proved it could rebuild clean after a ransomware hit, kept every record inside India, and put backup and recovery on one Commvault platform. Story below.
Commvault Backup & Cyber Recovery at a glance
Why Commvault anchors most Indian backup & cyber recovery estates.
- OEM
- Commvault Systems, Inc., Tinton Falls, New Jersey, founded in 1996 and listed on the Nasdaq as CVLT. Led by chief executive Sanjay Mirchandani, Commvault crossed one billion dollars in annual recurring revenue in its 2026 financial year. Sirius Star scopes, licenses and runs it for Indian enterprises from Navi Mumbai.
- What it is
- Commvault Cloud is a single platform for backup, recovery and cyber recovery across on-prem, cloud and SaaS workloads, so you stop running a separate backup silo for each one.
- Why teams pick it
- Restoring straight back into a compromised network can re-infect you. Commvault Cleanroom Recovery rebuilds a clean, isolated environment on demand, so recovery is proven before you go live again.
- Core technology
- Commvault Cloud for backup and recovery, Air Gap Protect for an immutable cloud copy, Threat Scan and Risk Analysis to find threats and sensitive data, Cleanroom Recovery for clean rebuilds, and Cloud Rewind to reassemble cloud applications, with the Arlie AI assistant across the platform.
- New since 2024
- Commvault acquired Clumio for AWS-native data protection and Appranix for cloud application rebuild, now delivered as Cloud Rewind. Synthetic Recovery, Threat Scan Advanced and an enhanced Cleanroom Recovery reached general availability in early 2026.
- India reach
- Sold in India on an enterprise subscription through the channel, not off a shelf. It runs on HyperScale X appliances, as software on your own hardware, or as a service, and can keep data on your racks or in an Indian cloud region.
- Sirius Star role
- We survey what you back up today, size the Commvault Cloud design, set an air-gapped immutable copy and cleanroom recovery, migrate you off ageing backup tools, tune recovery targets for DPDP, and run it from Navi Mumbai.

Commvault Backup & Cyber Recovery vs Cohesity, Veeam, Veritas
All four are honest choices. Most Indian buyers land on the first option for service depth and ecosystem fit.
| Brand | Where it wins | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Commvault | One platform that folds backup, air-gapped immutability and true cyber recovery together, with Cleanroom Recovery to rebuild clean and Cloud Rewind to reassemble cloud applications. | Indian enterprises that treat clean, provable recovery after an attack as a first-class requirement across on-prem and cloud. |
| Cohesity | A scale-out platform that consolidates backup, files and objects with an air-gapped vault built in. | Teams weighing a consolidate-and-secure platform and comparing the two head to head. |
| Veeam | A widely used backup product with broad workload coverage and a large partner base. | Teams that want a well-known backup tool and are comfortable adding separate cyber recovery. |
| Veritas NetBackup | A proven enterprise backup line with deep scale and a long install base. | Large estates already standardised on NetBackup that want appliance-led enterprise backup. |

Commvault Backup & Cyber Recovery India FAQ
Common questions about this brand for Indian buyers. Hover any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
What is Commvault and what does it do for an Indian enterprise?
Commvault Cloud is a single platform for backup, recovery and cyber recovery across on-prem, cloud and SaaS workloads. It holds immutable, air-gapped copies, scans backup data for threats, and can rebuild a clean isolated environment on demand with Cleanroom Recovery. For an Indian enterprise the point is fewer backup silos and a recovery you can prove after an attack, with data kept on your own racks or in an Indian cloud region. Send Sirius Star what you back up today and we return a scoped quote in 24 working hours.
How does Commvault protect against ransomware?
It assumes the attacker will reach the backup and the production network. Commvault keeps immutable copies with Air Gap Protect, guards access with role-based control and multi-factor sign-in, and scans backup data for threats with Threat Scan and Risk Analysis. Cleanroom Recovery then rebuilds a clean, isolated environment so you can verify systems are safe before returning to production, instead of restoring straight back into a compromised network. Sirius Star configures the air gap and the cleanroom for you.
Can Commvault keep our data inside India?
Yes. Commvault runs on HyperScale X appliances or as software on your own hardware inside your datacentre, so backups never leave the building, or it can deploy as a service in an Indian cloud region. Either way you decide where the data physically sits, which is what an auditor asks about under the DPDP Act. Risk Analysis also helps you find where sensitive personal data lives in your backups. Sirius Star sets the residency design with you.
How is Commvault priced in India?
Commvault is an enterprise subscription, not a per-seat retail price. It is sized by the data you protect, the capabilities you turn on such as Cleanroom Recovery or Air Gap Protect, and whether you run it as a service, as software or on HyperScale X appliances. As an indicative guide*, a serious enterprise deployment lands in the tens of lakhs per year and up, but the honest figure comes from a short scoping call about your data volumes and recovery targets. After that call Sirius Star returns a written quote in 24 working hours.
What does Sirius Star do beyond selling the licence?
We do the work around the platform. We survey what you back up, size the Commvault Cloud design, migrate you off ageing backup tools, turn on immutability and set up cleanroom recovery, and set recovery targets that fit DPDP. After go-live we run the backups, rehearse cleanroom recovery drills, watch cost and review the design as your data grows. The work is run from Vashi, Navi Mumbai, with a written 24 working hours quote SLA.
