In an effort to address the data sovereignty concerns of New Zealand organisations, Commvault has launched a local instance of its Commvault Cloud platform.
In a statement, Commvault said expanding the platform to New Zealand would enable local organisations to protect sensitive data in the country, while meeting compliance requirements and accelerating recovery for latency-sensitive systems.
This comes as sovereignty remains a key area of focus for organisations in New Zealand, said Commvault Asia Pacific vice president Martin Creighan, citing research from PwC which showed 68 per cent of local businesses had expressed concerns about cross-border data transfers.
These concerns could also prompt organisations to reassess data storage, governance, and operational requirements, Creighan added.
“As cyber threats grow and data regulations expand, organisations need confidence that their data is protected and recoverable – without leaving the country,” he said.
“Expanding Commvault Cloud into New Zealand helps customers strengthen cyber resilience while supporting local data sovereignty requirements.”
According to the company, Commvault Cloud is built on its adaptive fabric architecture, which separates control and data planes to provide greater flexibility and governance.
Commvault claims this architecture gives organisations clear control over where data is stored, how it is protected, and who manages access – whether within customer-managed or partner-operated environments.
