Commvault Expands AWS Support with $47 Million Clumio Buy

Cyber resilience and data protection provider Commvault will acquire AWS cloud specialist Clumio for $47 million, enhancing its security and cyber resilience offerings in the process.

The Clumio acquisition, Commvault said, will help it respond to the growing number who use the AWS S3 as their de facto cloud storage service, including for AI development in the cloud.

“In the event of an outage or cyberattack, rapidly getting back to business is paramount to our customers,” said Commvault CEO Sanjay Mirchandani. “Combining Commvault’s ... cyber resilience capabilities with Clumio’s exceptional talent, technology and AWS expertise advances our recovery offerings, strengthens our platform and reinforces our position as a leading SaaS provider for cyber resilience.”

“At Clumio, our vision was to build a platform that could scale quickly to protect the world’s largest and most complex data sets, including data lakes, warehouses, and other business-critical data,” said Poojan Kumar, co-founder of Clumio. “Joining hands with Commvault allows us to get our cloud-native offerings to AWS customers on a global scale.”

Expect the deal to close early next month.
