Commvault Launches Recovery Studio for Full Service Restoration
The new product orchestrates recovery of applications, identities and infrastructure beyond traditional data restoration.
Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Cybersecurity
Commvault has launched Recovery Studio, a product that coordinates the restoration of business services rather than only the data behind them. It uses automated runbooks to bring applications, identities, configurations, infrastructure dependencies and datasets back online in sequence.
Why it matters
Organizations increasingly prioritize restoring working operations over simply retrieving data, and large environments may involve hundreds of applications and thousands of identities that must be recovered in the correct order. Coordinating these steps through fragmented tools and manual work can slow recovery after outages, disasters or cyber attacks.
Commvault's 28-day average recovery period under conventional approaches is the figure the company cites as the baseline for the product's value. The stub does not provide independent measurements of recovery time achieved with Recovery Studio.
The players
Commvault
Commvault is a data protection and cyber recovery software company that markets its platform for operational outages, disaster recovery and cyber recovery.
Chris Cola
Chris Cola is the Chief Information Officer of B&G Foods, a food company whose executive commented on the approach's potential to change service restoration after disruption.
Johnny Yu
Johnny Yu is a Research Manager at IDC, a technology market research firm, who said the product combines different recovery tasks in one place.
The details
Recovery Studio coordinates containers, virtual machines, files, objects, identity systems, application settings, infrastructure configurations and network and security controls. Threat scanning is built into recovery workflows for supported resources, and the same runbooks can automate infrastructure rebuilds, workload recovery and the security settings needed to bring services back online.
Timeline
Early access for Recovery Studio is targeted for December.
General availability is planned for the coming months.
The Tech Race
Recovery Studio extends Commvault's conventional approach, which the company says takes an average of 28 days to reach minimal operation, by automating the sequencing of applications, identities and infrastructure. It positions the product as a single platform for outages, disaster recovery and cyber recovery in a market where vendors compete on restoration speed.
For IT teams, the product aims to replace manual coordination of application, identity and infrastructure recovery with automated runbooks that run in sequence. Recovery Studio is priced according to the amount of data configured for orchestrated recovery, which affects the cost planning for organizations adopting it.
The takeaway
Recovery planning needs to be in place before a disruption occurs, since restoring working services depends on sequencing many systems correctly. Teams that document recovery order and dependencies in advance are better positioned to shorten downtime.
What happens next
Recovery Studio early access is targeted for December, with general availability planned in the coming months.
