Commvault to Help Enterprises Put More Data to Work Safely for AI with NVIDIA
The integration will help enterprises make more of their data usable for AI while keeping it current, governed, and secure
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), delivering continuous recovery for the AI era, today announced a collaboration with NVIDIA that will help enterprises make more of their data usable for AI while keeping data current, authorized, and governed as it flows into AI applications and agents.
This type of collaboration comes just in time. As AI applications and agents take on more advanced work, enterprises need trusted data and governance that can move with it. According to recent McKinsey research, fragmented data and inconsistent governance are key obstacles to scaling agentic AI, underscoring the need for rigorous and embedded access controls, and critical security checks as data flows through AI pipelines.1
By combining NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NemotronRetriever with Commvault Data Activate, the companies will help organizations:
- Put more enterprise data to work for AI: Use NVIDIA NIM Nemotron Retriever and NVIDIA cuVS with Apache Solr to extract and organize Commvault protected data made available through Data Activate, so complex content is easier for applications and agents to retrieve and use.
- Keep AI data current and authorized: Leverage Data Activate to continuously update the data available to AI as source data changes or is deleted, retention periods expire, or access permissions change.
- Preserve accountability from source to use: Maintain ownership, classification, and lineage via Data Activate to understand where data came from, how it may be used, and who is authorized to access it.
Together, these capabilities are designed to enable enterprises to put more of their data to work and reduce the effort required to keep it current and governed while supporting more advanced AI workflows.
"Customers should get more from the enterprise data they already manage," said Alan Atkinson, Chief Business Development Officer, Commvault. "Together with NVIDIA, we're helping operationalize data for AI without creating another disconnected data pipeline."
"Enterprise agents need current, trusted data to turn business knowledge into action," said Pat Lee, Vice President, Strategic Partnerships, NVIDIA. "NVIDIA and Commvault are working together to make protected enterprise data accessible to agents while preserving its context, permissions, and governance."
Availability
The reference design for SaaS and software is targeted for early release in December 2026 and general availability in 2027.
