Commvault Delivers Industry-First Cyber Resilience for AI Data Lakehouses on AWS with Support for Apache Iceberg Tables
The adoption of Apache Iceberg is on the rise; today, technology leaders such as Netflix1, Apple2, and Airbnb3 rely on Apache Iceberg, and "over 70% of IT and data professionals expect the data lakehouse to become the primary architecture for their analytics within the next three years"4.
Modern data lakehouses built on Apache Iceberg, while foundational to AI and analytics initiatives, often lack robust, native data resilience. This leaves organizations at risk for data loss, ransomware attacks, and compliance risks. Native snapshots, while a first step, are typically tied to the source account, lack a true air-gapped copy, and are not designed for large-scale, point-in-time recovery. This makes them vulnerable to the same risks. Furthermore, restoring from non-Iceberg-aware backups often requires complex manual processes to rewire and reconfigure tables, leading to extended downtime and a high risk of data inconsistency.
Clumio for Apache Iceberg on AWS is engineered to close these protection gaps left by native and traditional backup tools, supporting organizations' data security, compliance, and recovery requirements.
Key features and benefits include:
- Iceberg-Aware Data Resilience: Delivers fast, reliable, and transactionally consistent backups - meaning it captures a complete state of data - that intrinsically understand Iceberg table structures. Designed to eliminate manual, error-prone restores and support a range of recovery options, including point-in-time, snapshot-level, cross-region, cross-account, and in-place restore.
- Immutable, Air-Gapped Copies for Cyber Resilience: Unlike native snapshots, it safeguards backups in an isolated environment that is designed to be secure, helping to protect critical data against ransomware, account compromise, and accidental or malicious deletions.
- Automated Compliance and Governance: Helps organizations cost-effectively support compliance and governance requirements with unlimited, long-term snapshot retention, all without impacting the performance of the live data lake.
- Optimized Storage Costs and Footprint: Reduces backup windows and cuts storage costs by capturing only the changes made after the initial full backup.
Making the Entire Data Pipeline Resilient
Clumio for Apache Iceberg marks the latest step in
"The data that powers AI and analytics is one of the most valuable assets for an organization, yet it's often the most exposed," said
"The explosion of data lakehouse environments for AI has created a blind spot in many enterprises' data protection strategies," said
