Databricks and Nvidia technology will draw on governed enterprise data from Commvault’s Data Activate service. The Zscaler agreement is a strategic partnership centered on AI security.\n\nRecovery Studio goes after the manual work of restoring a business one piece at a time. Data alone does not get an application running again. Without the identities, configurations and infrastructure it depends on, an application can stay offline long after its files are back.\n\nA large enterprise may have hundreds of applications and thousands of identities to bring up in sequence. Getting back to even a minimal level of operation takes 28 days on average under conventional approaches, according to Commvault research [from last year](https://www.commvault.com/gc/the-state-of-data-readiness-and-cyber-resiliency-in-asean).\n\nIn place of that manual work, the service uses automated runbooks that rebuild and validate each component in order. Commvault said the runbooks also restore identity systems and cloud configurations, firewall rules included. Threat scans can run inside a runbook on supported resources, and the results feed into the call on whether a service is ready to go back into production. Operational, disaster and cyber recovery all run from the same platform.\n\nPranay Ahlawat, Commvault’s chief technology and AI officer, called the launch “the DevOps moment for recovery.” He said one orchestrated flow can take over from the spreadsheets and war rooms that recovery teams lean on today.\n\nThe AgentRecover update moves the company’s agent protection onto the platforms where businesses build production agents. [In September](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/commvault-protects-and-recovers-agent-configurations-and-ai-data-that-employees-cant-afford-to-lose-on-their-laptops-302893659.html) Commvault added protection for agent configurations that tools such as Anthropic PBC’s Claude Code store on employee laptops.\n\nPhil Goodwin, research vice president at International Data Corp., said conventional recovery assumes a discrete set of data at one point in time. Agents break that assumption, because the agent, its data and the resources around it all have to come back “at machine speed,” he said.\n\nOn Bedrock AgentCore and Foundry, the software discovers each agent and maps the data, applications and infrastructure it interacts with. If an agent goes rogue, its activity log shows which systems it may have touched across platforms.\n\nRestores target the agent and whatever it changed. Customers can also run AgentRecover with Commvault’s identity recovery and change auditing tools to trace the identities an agent acted through.\n\nThe Databricks and Nvidia announcements both build on [Data Activate](https://siliconangle.com/2026/04/13/commvault-rolls-ai-capabilities-secure-agentic-workflows-data/), which turns backup copies protected by Commvault into datasets for analytics and AI. Much of the data companies hold is unstructured and scattered across systems. In research from BARC published by DataHub [in June](https://datahub.com/guides/harnessing-unstructured-data-for-ai-innovation-2026-barc-study/), 70% of data and AI leaders said less than half of their unstructured data could be found and used for AI.\n\nCommvault Data Activate for Databricks shares data under Commvault management into Databricks through OpenSharing. The data arrives as governed tables in Unity Catalog with its ownership, access permissions and lineage intact.\n\nUpdates keep flowing as source content changes or is deleted, and customers do not have to rebuild a connection to every original source. Alan Atkinson, chief business development officer at Commvault, said the aim is “turning protected data into an active business asset.”\n\nNvidia’s part, delivered as a reference design for software-as-a-service and software deployments, centers on retrieval. Nvidia NIM microservices and Nemotron Retriever, together with the Nvidia cuVS library used with Apache Solr, extract and organize Commvault-protected content so applications and agents can pull from it more easily. Data Activate keeps that content current as source files change, retention periods expire or permissions are revoked.\n\nOn the security side, Commvault and Zscaler listed AI discovery, runtime governance and agent detection and recovery as early areas of collaboration, and the companies did not announce a joint product or availability date. Zscaler’s Security for AI line polices how employees and agents use AI tools. Dhawal Sharma, Zscaler’s executive vice president of AI security and strategic initiatives, said organizations need to be “prepared to recover quickly if something goes wrong.”\n\nRecovery Studio, AgentRecover’s Amazon Bedrock AgentCore support and the Databricks integration are all due to enter early access in December, the last of them in select Microsoft Azure regions. Foundry support comes sooner, with early access targeted for this month.\n\nThe Nvidia reference design is set to reach general availability in 2027 after an early release in December. Recovery Studio will be priced on the amount of data configured for orchestrated recovery, and Commvault plans general availability in the coming months.\n\nA virtual edition of SHIFT follows on Nov. 18.\n\n##### Photo: Commvault\n\n# A message from John Furrier, co-founder of SiliconANGLE:\n\nSupport our mission to keep content open and free by engaging with theCUBE community. **Join theCUBE’s Alumni Trust Network**, where technology leaders connect, share intelligence and create opportunities.\n\n- **15M+ viewers of theCUBE videos** , powering conversations across AI, cloud, cybersecurity and more\n- **11.4k+ theCUBE alumni** — Connect with more than 11,400 tech and business leaders shaping the future through a unique trusted-based network\n\n### Are you an AWS customer?  Support SiliconANGLE financially by buying your AWS services from our Marketplace portal page and links: [https://siliconangle.com/aws-marketplace/](https://siliconangle.com/aws-marketplace/)\n\n##### **About SiliconANGLE Media**\n\n[SiliconANGLE](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsiliconangle.com%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=SiliconANGLE&index=9&md5=646b1b564e2259100a2b8638aab0a552),\n\n[theCUBE Network](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecube.net%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=theCUBE+Network&index=10&md5=7de2a85f95ab4a4a495cede20b8cb1da),\n\n[theCUBE Research](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fthecuberesearch.com%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=theCUBE+Research&index=11&md5=7bb33676722925eb57d588ec343e4f6f),\n\n[CUBE365](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cube365.net%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=CUBE365&index=12&md5=d310fb35919714e66ad8d42c9c0c1bc6),\n\n[theCUBE AI](https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thecubeai.com%2F&esheet=54119777&newsitemid=20240910506833&lan=en-US&anchor=theCUBE+AI&index=13&md5=b8b98472f8071b23ebb10ab9a8dd0683)and theCUBE SuperStudios — with flagship locations in Silicon Valley and the New York Stock Exchange — SiliconANGLE Media operates at the intersection of media, technology and AI.\n\nFounded by tech visionaries John Furrier and Dave Vellante, SiliconANGLE Media has built a dynamic ecosystem of industry-leading digital media brands that reach 15+ million elite tech professionals.
