About Rajiv Kottomtharayil

At the Commvault Shift 2025 keynote, Rajiv Kottomtharayil discussed the company's new platform, Commvault Cloud Unity, which he described as "the industry's only platform for true cyber resiliency at scale." He stated that the platform was designed to meet the scale, security, and automation requirements of modern architectures, including hybrid cloud, edge computing, and IoT. Kottomtharayil highlighted features such as FedRAMP High certification, post-quantum cryptography, and Zero Trust identity integrations with partners like CyberArk. He also introduced the Commvault Cloud Adaptive Fabric, which he described as an intelligence layer that automatically manages and scales the data plane across clouds. He cited performance benchmarks including 111 terabytes per hour for S3 data protection and 40 terabytes per hour restore speeds for on-premises workloads. In a 2024 AnalystANGLE interview, analyst Christophe Bertrand noted that Commvault's stock had increased 110% in the past year and characterized the company's strategy as focused on "cyber resilience" rather than traditional data protection. Bertrand referenced the acquisition of Appranix and its integration as "Cloud Rewind," which he described as a capability for recovering full cloud environments. In a 2017 presentation, Kottomtharayil discussed the company's use of Apache Solr for indexing data, stating that the platform manages roughly seven exabytes of active data at customer sites and 72 to 73 exabytes of passive data. He described Edge Drive as a collaboration file system hosted on premise, and noted that the company's software is hardware agnostic and maintains a 96 percent customer satisfaction ratio across over 20,000 customers.
