The convergence of artificial intelligence with backup and data protection capabilities will allow organizations to accelerate information analysis across their data assets, generating an intelligent experience that leverages knowledge to gain productivity, improve information governance, mitigate risks, and make the business more agile.
Commvault solutions offer the ability to collect, index, and store data from across an organization, whether in the form of backups, archives, or directly from source locations. By integrating these capabilities with Lucidworks' artificial intelligence and machine learning, businesses can discover and analyze critical content across data sources, whether on-premises or in the cloud. This integration will also provide a continuous flow of enriched insights into Commvault data, adding greater context and meaning to the managed data.
“Our innovative capabilities in AI, machine learning, and cognitive search are a perfect complement to expand Commvault’s analytics offering and data platform. This will allow us to provide customers with an IT environment perfectly tuned for modern business,” said Will Hayes, CEO of Lucidworks. “By integrating Lucidworks technology into Commvault’s software, users will gain valuable insights from their data to make better strategic business decisions, while having the peace of mind that comes from knowing their IT infrastructure is secure and constantly learning to improve internal processes and increase efficiency.”.
Commvault and Lucidworks plan to collaborate on new products that will use artificial intelligence to help identify and remediate sensitive data, enforce information policies, and automate workflows to enable and strengthen data policies and processes. This will allow customers to close procedural gaps and eliminate the multiple tools typically associated with the various phases of data consolidation, information governance, and risk management.
“We are pleased to expand our vision and commitment to data protection with AI innovations that will provide our customers with powerful simplicity to drive their corporate strategies,” said N. Robert Hammer, president and CEO of Commvault. “With this agreement, we will be able to expand our analytics capabilities based on Lucidworks’ innovative artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies integrated into the Commvault Data Platform. As a combined offering, we will enable companies to progressively leverage their data as a strategic asset to drive their digital transformation, manage risks, and achieve desired outcomes with better access to the right information.”.
