Commvault introduces Recovery Studio for business recovery

Commvault has introduced Recovery Studio, a new recovery approach intended to restore complete business operations rather than data alone.

Restoring a single application can depend on infrastructure, configurations, and identities that must also be operational. Large recoveries may involve hundreds of applications and thousands of identities, restored in a specific order. Manual efforts can lead to downtime and data loss. According to a 2025 Commvault report, conventional approaches take an average of 28 days to reach a minimal level of operation, a span the company considers too long for machine-speed processes.

Recovery Studio coordinates restoration of applications, identities, configurations, infrastructure dependencies, and datasets through an automated, runbook-driven workflow. A context-aware runbook reconstructs and validates interconnected components in sequence, including containers, VMs, files, objects, identity systems, application and infrastructure configurations, and security and network settings. Automated threat scanning of supported resources identifies compromised areas before services return to production.

The platform is described as covering operational, disaster, and cyber recoveries on one platform. Unified runbooks automate infrastructure rebuilds, workload recovery, and orchestration of security controls, including firewall rules and network security groups and settings.

“This is the DevOps moment for recovery,” said Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology & AI Officer, Commvault. “Recovery Studio replaces spreadsheets and war rooms with one orchestrated flow, from in-place to cleanroom, that brings the whole business back in the right order, including identities and cloud configurations.”

Recovery Studio is targeted for early access in December, with general availability planned in the coming months and pricing based on the amount of data configured for orchestrated recovery.
