Commvault to partner with AWS on European Sovereign Cloud

Commvault said it would be a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, a new independent cloud planned for the State of Brandenburg, Germany by the end of 2025, to provide sovereign-ready cyber resilience for Europe's most regulated industries.

AWS positioned the European Sovereign Cloud as a fully-featured, independently operated environment located entirely within the EU and separate from existing Regions, with only AWS employees residing in the EU controlling day-to-day operations such as data center access, technical support, and customer service.

The Commvault Cloud platform, including capabilities introduced with the Unity release, was planned for the Sovereign Cloud and was described as a turnkey Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution offering AI-enabled discovery and classification, protection policy recommendations, Adaptive Incident Response (AIR) gapped backups, integrated AI-enhanced threat detection and response, and cleanroom recovery orchestration.

The announcement built on recent milestones in Commvault's collaboration with Amazon Web Services, including achieving the AWS Resilience Competency in the Recovery category and being named 2025 AWS Global Storage Partner of the Year.

“Customers across Europe are under immense pressure to meet sovereignty requirements while defending against escalating cyber threats,” said Darren Thomson, Field CTO – Security, EMEAI, Commvault.

Commvault said Commvault Cloud was targeted for availability on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud in the first half of calendar year 2026, and that pricing would be finalized prior to General Availability (GA) and would reflect AWS's model for SaaS infrastructure and compute within the Sovereign Cloud environment.
