- CommVault Data Rooms. CommVault announced Data Rooms, to enable organizations to securely govern how backup data is shared with external and internal AI platforms. With the new Data Rooms offering, authorized users can locate and prepare data directly from backup repositories across on-premises and cloud environments. Built-in governance helps maintain control so that approved, access policy-compliant datasets can be safely shared and exported, with classification, sensitivity tagging, and audit trails automatically applied. Additionally, Data Rooms operate within Commvault Cloud’s zero-trust architecture, leveraging role-based access controls (RBAC) and encryption at rest and in transit. These safety measures can give organizations confidence that their data remains protected, governed, and traceable from backup to activation. Intent is for general availability in early 2026.
