7 terms

agentic workflows technical

"build agentic workflows with trusted data, governance, and recovery"

Agentic workflows are sequences of tasks where software 'agents' act on their own to move information, make routine decisions, and trigger actions across computer systems with minimal human hand-holding. For investors, they matter because they can cut labor and processing time much like replacing a row of manual cashiers with self‑serving kiosks, improving margins and speed but also introducing new operational, security and regulatory risks that can affect costs, reliability and compliance.

large language models technical

"formats like Apache Iceberg and Parquet for use with large language models"

Large language models are advanced AI systems trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate human-like writing, like a very fast reader and writer that learns patterns in words and sentences. They matter to investors because they can change how companies operate—automating customer service, speeding analysis, cutting costs, creating new products—and they introduce risks around accuracy, security and regulation that can affect a firm’s revenue and reputation.

zero-trust architecture technical

"Built on Commvault Cloud's governance and zero-trust architecture, Data Activate"

A zero-trust architecture is a cybersecurity approach that assumes no user, device or network connection is safe by default and requires continual verification before granting access to systems or data. For investors, it matters because adopting this mindset reduces the likelihood and impact of costly data breaches, helps meet regulatory requirements, and can protect revenue and reputation—like installing multiple locks and ID checks on every door of a business rather than trusting anyone who walks in.

apache iceberg technical

"prepare approved datasets in formats like Apache Iceberg and Parquet"

Apache Iceberg is an open-source data table format that helps organizations store and manage very large analytical datasets reliably, like a version-controlled filing cabinet for huge amounts of information. It matters to investors because it makes financial reporting, auditing, and large-scale data analysis faster and more accurate while reducing storage and processing waste, which can improve operational efficiency, cost control and the transparency of a company’s reported results.

ai agents technical

"discover and govern AI agents, and build and control agentic workflows"

AI agents are computer programs designed to perform tasks or make decisions automatically, often by learning from data and adapting to new information. They act like virtual assistants or robots that can handle complex activities without human intervention, which can help businesses and individuals save time and improve efficiency. For investors, AI agents matter because they can enhance decision-making and automate processes that influence markets and financial outcomes.

model context protocol (mcp) technical

"build custom agents that automatically and securely utilize Commvault's Model Context Protocol (MCP)"

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a system that helps financial models understand and share information about market conditions and data. It’s like a common language that ensures different tools and models work together smoothly, making predictions and decisions more accurate and consistent.

saas technical

"governance, protection, and recovery to AI agents across on-prem, SaaS, and hybrid"

SaaS, or Software as a Service, is a way of delivering computer programs over the internet, allowing users to access and use them through a web browser without needing to install or maintain the software themselves. For investors, it highlights a business model where companies generate recurring revenue by providing ongoing access to their software, often leading to predictable income and growth potential.

Next-generation AI capabilities will leverage Commvault Cloud to safely activate AI and build agentic workflows with trusted data, governance, and recovery

TINTON FALLS, N.J., April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in unified resilience at enterprise scale, today announced new and forthcoming AI capabilities that help organizations confidently adopt AI while maintaining control over data, agents, and recovery. These capabilities will enable enterprises to activate AI safely, discover and govern AI agents, and build and control agentic workflows, all from Commvault Cloud.

As organizations deploy AI, many struggle to balance innovation with the potential exposure of sensitive data and losing control over AI agents. According to Deloitte, 60% of AI leaders cite risk and compliance concerns and legacy system integration as the top barriers to agentic AI adoption.¹ Building on AI resilience, Data Activate, AI Protect, and AI Studio will address these challenges by helping teams understand the impact of agent-driven changes and roll back when necessary.

"Every enterprise era has produced a system of record – ERP for business operations, CRM for customers, and now AI for the enterprise," said Sanjay Mirchandani, President and CEO, Commvault. "If data powering AI is compromised, AI is compromised. If data can't be recovered, AI can't be trusted. Commvault Cloud is the system of record for AI resilience."

Activating Data Safely for the Agentic Era
Data Activate enables organizations to classify and curate data from protected backup copies and prepare approved datasets in formats like Apache Iceberg and Parquet for use with large language models and AI data platforms. The offering continuously publishes updated and vetted datasets, making it easier to keep AI pipelines in sync with trusted data. For example, teams can identify and exclude personally identifiable information before activating datasets for model development. Built on Commvault Cloud's governance and zero-trust architecture, Data Activate helps reduce the possibility of exposing sensitive data through AI while enabling safe, controlled data activation.

Extending Next-Level Control to Agentic AI
AI Protect will help organizations identify vulnerabilities, understand the impact of agent-driven changes, recover affected applications, and perform full-stack recovery across AI-driven environments. As the application stack evolves and more agents can enact unwanted and unbounded changes across data, systems, and configurations, organizations need a unified approach to manage both complexity and threats. AI Protect will discover and inventory agents across environments and map their activity to AI stacks.

Unlocking a New Era in Agentic Automation 
AI Studio will enable organizations to create and utilize agents that address their specific needs, including a repository of built-in agents for common resilience use cases. Teams will be able to build custom agents that automatically and securely utilize Commvault's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and integrate with other enterprise systems.

With these innovations, teams will continue to advance an AI resiliency lifecycle that starts with safely activating data for AI purposes all the way through bringing discovery, governance, protection, and recovery to AI agents across on-prem, SaaS, and hybrid cloud environments.

"As we deploy AI agents across our organization, a key concern will be maintaining visibility and control over what these agents can access and how they interact with our sensitive data," said Marius Horja, CCoE Compute Architecture and Engineering with Emerson Electric. "Having the ability to view, manage, govern, and orchestrate our agent ecosystem in real time from a single platform will give us greater confidence to scale AI innovation without sacrificing safety or resiliency."

"As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, they need solutions that reduce risk while delivering real business value," said Sean Alexander, SVP Connected Ecosystem, Lumen. "Our partnership with Commvault, including our Lumen Validated Design for Cyber Resilience, brings together trusted cyber and AI resilience from Commvault with secure, scalable connectivity from Lumen—helping customers deploy with confidence and innovate safely in the agentic era."

"In agentic environments, agents mutate state across data, systems, and configurations in ways that compound fast and are hard to trace," said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer, Commvault. "When something goes wrong, teams need to recover not just data, but the full stack — applications, agent configurations, and dependencies — back to a known good state. That's what AI Protect delivers."
