I think it seems quite reasonable. We're moving into a world where nothing can be taken at face value. Fake news, fake images, fake videos and possibly now fake capabilities. The Dunning–Kruger effect of AI. www.theregister.com/2025/11/21/m...

Microsoft exec finds AI cynicism 'mindblowing'

Opinion: The tech is impressive. Shoehorning it into absolutely everything is not

Pleased to be with @arjantim.bsky.social at #A3TechLive in London today for @osmiumdatagroup.bsky.social We'll hear from @veeam.com @hammerspace.com Keepit and Solidigm. Really happy to see friends here such as @chris-mellor.bsky.social Andrea Mauro @rickatron.bsky.social Michael Cade & more!

I think we all want to see products that support real-life environments. Work is complex and organizational history, we are bound to have many places we keep and process data. Vendors who build products for a limited set of solutions will fall behind.

#Commvault It's interesting that AI is such a huge attack surface. You can poison the model or leverage it as a tool for gathering information OR carrying out the attack itself. You have to be prepared to protect all facets of it.

Also, don't miss our flagship research paper for data protection solutions, with a unique EMEA-centric perspective. Commvault was recognized as an EMEA Champion in our report, so continue here for the full story: www.osmiumdatagroup.com/2025/11/06/o... #CommvaultSHIFT @commvault.bsky.social

And that's it for today, folks! I had a blast following the virtual #CommvaultSHIFT 2025 event. I hope you also thoroughly enjoyed going through the announcements with me. If you want to watch quietly later on, register here: www.commvault.com/shift-virtual @commvault.bsky.social

Can't emphasize enough the benefits of a unified management experience. Commvault Cloud Unity brings forth: - a single point of control for all instances - a central policy engine - multi-region, multi-cloud, hybrid deployments - unified reporting for cost, usage & health metrics #CommvaultSHIFT

I talked a few times today about Appranix and Clumio. Commvault did an outstanding job at integrating those companies and unifying its cloud data protection portfolio, also taking advantage of Metallic, thus delivering unrivaled cloud workload support across public cloud vendors. #CommvaultSHIFT

Commvault protects a broad range of workloads, especially in public clouds. #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

To sum up the slide shared before, there's no end in sight on cyber attacks, while organizations are struggling to manage expanding infrastructures and applications at scale. Manual management is no longer feasible. #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Key insights from Pavan Bedadala, VP Product Management at Commvault #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

It's me again for Commvault SHIFT second breakout session, "To Infinity & Beyond: Utilizing Cloud Speed & Scale to Enhance Resilience of Your Workloads" #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Really looking forward to meeting @veeam.com @solidigm.bsky.social #Keepit and @hammerspace.com at the #A3TechLive event tomorrow.

I concur with the speakers that we must separate DR from Cyber Resilience. In our TrendScape for Data Protection, we go as far as distinguishing Operational Disaster Recovery and Cyber Resiliency. The first has no security implications, while the second does. #CommvaultSHIFT @commvault.bsky.social

"Realistically, the MTCR is typically four months" according to Darren. This is light years away if you compare to usual RPO/RTO metrics (typically in the range of hours). Imagine a business crippled for 4 months. Or read the news. #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Refreshing to listen to Danielle Sheer, Duncan Bradley, and Darren Thomson. I attended @commvault.bsky.social "Minutes to Meltdown" role-play cyber attack event in London last year, with Darren leading this activity, and it was impressive to see the work Commvault put into this. #CommvaultSHIFT

On the @eurostarnews.bsky.social to #London. We from @osmiumdatagroup.bsky.social will be at the #A3Communications #A3TechLive event. At the moment my friend and business partner @maxmortillaro.bsky.social is sending a lot of very informative information on @commvault.bsky.social #CommvaultSHIFT

Unless you have a cleanroom recovery solution, the data cleanup process after a cyber attack is likely to be very tedious and lengthy, assuming that there is even something left to recover from, without any guarantee about data health. #CommvaultSHIFT @commvault.bsky.social

MTCR = Mean Time to Clean Recovery. Commvault has been thinking about a metric that correlates to business value. It's not that RPO/RTO are bad, but they typically assume the time and point where data gets recovered, irrespective of its cleanliness. #CommvaultSHIFT @commvault.bsky.social

I'm now back with the first breakout session, "Introducing MTCR: The Missing Metric for Cyber Recovery Success" - I look forward to learn more about cyber recovery, an area where Commvault excels. #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

The keynote just ended. This was quite a packed session, where we heard about many topics. Commvault SHIFT 2025 is not over yet, stay tuned for the upcoming breakout sessions! #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Pranay is now recapitulating on the five pillars of Commvault Cloud Unity, an architecture built for scale and security to deliver outstanding enterprise-grade cyber resilience. #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Appreciate the point made by Pranay that automation and AI should deliver value, not hype. #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Commvault is now announcing support for Databricks, to be soon followed by Snowflake and Pinecone. The company not only acknowledges the opportunities brought for by AI, but also the many risks, including data poisoning and LLM weaponization. #CommvaultSHIFT @commvault.bsky.social

Side note, Commvault Cleanroom Recovery is a huge differentiator for Commvault. Cyber resilience / cleanroom recovery is the dividing line between leading data protection solutions and the followers. #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Commvault is now introducing Recovery Runbooks to its Cleanroom Recovery solution. This allows full recovery orchestration / end-to-end resilience. Orgs can create application blueprints to recover entire apps, including AD Forests & related VMs / resources. #CommvaultSHIFT @commvault.bsky.social

A great thing with Commvault Synthetic AI Recovery is that once customers upgrade to Commvault Cloud Unity, the capability becomes immediately available to them, without any learning time. #CommvaultSHIFT #CommvaultCloud #ResOps @commvault.bsky.social

Seems the Satori acquisition has been fully integrated into Commvault Cloud Unity. Pranay is talking about data mobility and data access governance. I'm quite fond about data management/governance, regulatory policies/data sovereignty, this is cool. #CommvaultSHIFT @commvault.bsky.social

The solution includes audit logs and allows changes to be rolled back regardless of the scale of the attack, reverting back single changes or entire attack chains. The solution also integrates with Cleanroom Recovery and allows for AD Forest-level recovery. #CommvaultSHIFT @commvault.bsky.social
