In today's data-driven business environment, protecting critical information is essential. With 83% of companies having experienced a significant breach, the need for a robust cyber recovery strategy has never been more important. Fortunately, the partnership between Commvault and Lenovo now offers a powerful combination of industry-leading software with high-performance hardware.
Key features

This combination ensures seamless operation and optimized data processing for backup and recovery tasks, which minimizes downtime and maintains business continuity.
- Simplified deployment and management: This joint solution offers a single view for data protection and management that greatly simplifies IT operations. And Lenovo's pre-configured and validated offerings ensure smooth integration with Commvault software, which results in faster deployment and reduced complexity.

This flexibility allows organizations to easily adapt their data protection infrastructure as needs evolve, without compromising performance.
Why should you care?
Today, data is often referred to as the “lifeblood of a company,” and managing and protecting this data has become a huge challenge. Here are just a few challenges that businesses are currently facing:
- Data volume and complexity: The volume and complexity of data that is generated on a daily basis can overwhelm traditional methods of data protection.
- Cybersecurity threats: The rise in cyber threats demands more robust data protection strategies to prevent ransomware attacks, data breaches and unauthorized access.
- Regulatory compliance: Adhering to the many regulatory requirements regarding data storage, privacy and security is critical for legal and ethical reasons.
- Downtime mitigation: Reducing downtime and ensuring business continuity when disaster strikes or after a system failure is vital to maintaining operations and customer trust.
Together, Commvault and Lenovo’s bundled solution addresses these challenges and will provide your customers with the resilience and recoverability they need at a low total cost of ownership (TCO).
