Commvault, a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, announced it will be a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, an independent cloud for Europe that is scheduled to launch in Brandenburg, Germany, by year-end.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud will be a “fully featured, independently operated sovereign cloud backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances and legal protections designed to meet the needs of European governments and enterprises,” officials said. Its infrastructure will be located entirely within the European Union (EU) and operated independently from existing regions.
AWS employees, residing in the EU, will control day-to-day operations, including access to data centers, technical support and customer service for the Sovereign Cloud. Similar to existing AWS regions, “customers will have the control and assurance that AWS services will not access or use customer data for any purpose without their agreement,” along with access to the sovereignty controls among cloud providers, officials said.
The Commvault Cloud platform, a turnkey SaaS solution with AI-enabled discovery, classification and protection policy recommendations, is intended to simplify onboarding and protection of resources across accounts within the Sovereign Cloud. It’s designed to provide cyber resilience capabilities, incorporating air gapped backups, integrated AI-enhanced threat detection and response, and cleanroom recovery orchestration, enabling customers to safely analyze threats, test processes or stage restore operations to reduce the risk of reinfection. The features support data resilience and operational recovery imperatives that are increasingly required under regulations such as GDPR, DORA and NIS2, the company said.
“Customers across Europe are under immense pressure to meet sovereignty requirements while defending against escalating cyber threats,” said Darren Thomson, field CTO, security, EMEAI, for Commvault. “As a launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, we plan to deliver cyber resilience bringing Commvault’s strongest protection and recovery capabilities to the organizations that need them most.”
Commvault Cloud is expected to be available on the Sovereign Cloud in the first half of 2026.
