Commvault, a provider of cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, has been recognised as a leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions. This marks the 13th consecutive time the company has been honoured with this distinction.

The Magic Quadrant, compiled by global research firm Gartner, evaluates companies based on their Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. The Commvault Cloud platform was highlighted for its comprehensive suite of data protection and cyber resilience solutions, catering to hybrid enterprises' diverse needs. The platform includes advanced security and AI features to protect against cyber threats, modern backup and recovery capabilities, and integration with leading cloud providers and security partners.

Tim Zonca, Vice President of Portfolio Marketing at Commvault, commented on the company's recognition: “To be recognised by Gartner as a Leader in this Magic Quadrant for 13 consecutive times takes a lot more than luck. We feel it requires a deep understanding of customers' data protection and cyber resilience challenges and the ability to deliver solutions that uniquely address these pain points. We believe what truly sets Commvault apart is the ability to protect more workloads, provide enterprise-grade data protection, offer simple and scalable recovery, and uniquely advance cyber resiliency all on one platform.”

A Gartner Magic Quadrant provides a graphical representation of a market's competitive landscape, categorising technology providers into four quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, and Niche Players. This analysis takes into account market growth, provider differentiation, and the overall strategic direction of the companies involved.

The Commvault Cloud platform is designed to reduce complexity, enhance data visibility, and improve cyber resiliency while optimising organisational costs and operational efficiency. Commvault's solutions aim to meet the stringent requirements of modern enterprises operating across hybrid cloud environments.

The evaluation by Gartner also underscores the importance of delivering robust data protection and cyber resilience solutions in a landscape increasingly marred by cyber threats. Commvault’s integrated approach provides a holistic solution for organisations looking to safeguard their data and streamline their recovery processes.

Commvault's positioning as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant is based on specific criteria that analyse the company’s vision and its capacity to execute it effectively. This is particularly significant in a market where the ability to adapt and offer comprehensive, scalable solutions is crucial for sustained success.

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant is widely considered a valuable tool for technology decision-makers who are tasked with navigating an increasingly complex array of vendor options. The annual report serves as a guidepost, offering insights into the capabilities and strategic directions of various technology providers. The findings provide a comprehensive view of the current state of the market and the key players that are driving innovation and addressing the evolving needs of enterprise backup and recovery.
