Lumen Technologies and Commvault have announced a strategic partnership that integrates Lumen's secure global network infrastructure with Commvault's advanced cyber resilience platform. This collaboration is designed to help enterprises safeguard information, reduce risks, and accelerate recovery across complex digital environments.
Lumen and Commvault partner to deliver an integrated cyber resilience solution.
The collaboration includes a Lumen Validated Design (LVD) for Cyber Resilience.
The solution combines Lumen's network with Commvault's data protection platform.
It features air-gapped storage, anomaly detection, and zero-trust access.
Lumen itself achieved $3.5M in annual savings by implementing the solution.
The partnership exemplifies Lumen's "connected ecosystem" strategy.
This partnership is a key example of Lumen's strategy to unite its physical network and digital platforms with trusted technology partners. By combining Commvault's data recovery expertise with Lumen's secure, global network backbone, enterprises gain access to high-speed, encrypted data transport and seamless integration across hybrid IT environments.
Ashley Haynes-Gaspar, Chief Revenue Officer at Lumen, emphasized the strategic value, stating, “With this partnership, we’re demonstrating the strength of a truly connected ecosystem. By combining our network scale and digital platform with Commvault’s industry-leading data protection and cyber resilience, we deliver what enterprises need most: confidence, performance, measurable cost savings, and the readiness to tackle todays and tomorrow’s cyber threats.”
Pranay Alhawat, Commvault Chief Technology & AI Officer, added, “Lumen and Commvault together can help joint customers scale recoveries, advance true multi-cloud resiliency, and remain in a state of continuous business.”
A cornerstone of the announcement is the Lumen® Validated Design (LVD) for Cyber Resilience with Commvault.
