Traditionally, rebuilding those applications has not been so easy or fast.

With Cloud Rewind, you can recover your data and rebuild your cloud applications within minutes, enhancing your cyber resiliency and letting you restore your business operations just as they were before the incident happened. It’s just one click away. 

Challenges in the Cloud

Adopting cloud technology is no longer just for early adopters; it has become the standard for businesses to optimize infrastructure costs while enabling agility and scalability. According to Gartner, by 2028, cloud computing will shift from being a technology disruptor to becoming a necessary component for maintaining business competitiveness. 

While the cloud allows developers to experiment with new services and push innovations to production more quickly, these environments are complex and constantly changing. Operating in the cloud also can lead to an increase in vulnerabilities and misconfigurations while deploying. In addition to the data that needs to be securely stored, protected, and accessed in the event of a cyberattack, you need to consider the dependencies and applications in any location or point in time. 

Rebuilding applications in the cloud has traditionally been all the things that the C-suite hates to see: time-consuming, resource-intensive, and costly. That’s even without considering the other financial implications of a breach. Finding a way to avoid this costly damage is imperative. 

Enter Commvault Cloud Rewind.

How Cloud Rewind Enables Near-Instant Recovery 

Cloud Rewind automatically writes code to recover data and rebuild applications so you can be back in business within minutes of a failure – all without the need for manual intervention. It codifies your applications’ cloud resources, dependencies, and backup and replication data for hyperfast rebuild from cloud outages and ransomware attacks.

Cloud Rewind also discovers cloud services configurations continuously to map dependencies and adapts to your cloud architecture and services. Unlike other legacy operations tools that automate applications and data separately, Cloud Rewind combines application and data automation to simplify cloud operations radically.

Cloud Rewind has a patented dual-vault cloud time machine, meaning that it uses secure, immutable vaults in different hyperscale clouds for instant application recoveries. With one vault used for cloud configuration, the other for application data, you get faster recoveries and continuous operations. And Cloud Rewind’s predictable recoveries help reduce risk and enhance cyber resilience.

With one click after an incident, you can recover your data and rebuild your entire cloud environment – at any point, in any region.

Key Benefits of Cloud Rewind
