Solution will bring governed additional enterprise data and context to Databricks for analytics, AI applications, and agents

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), delivering continuous recovery for the AI era, today announced Commvault Data Activate for Databricks. This joint solution leverages Commvault's built-in policy governance and automation to help organizations put more enterprise data to work for business insights, AI applications, and agents. Commvault also provides data protection for the Databricks Data + AI Platform and is a certified Databricks partner.

Much of an organization's most valuable data is unstructured and spread across systems. In fact, 70% of data and AI leaders say less than half of their unstructured data can be found and used for AI.¹

Commvault and Databricks are working to change that by leveraging Data Activate to make governed data and context available in Databricks without requiring organizations to rebuild connections to every data source.

Built on Databricks, the solution prepares enterprise data managed by Commvault and shares it through OpenSharing as governed tables that organizations manage with Unity Catalog and use across their Databricks analytics and AI applications. By expanding access to trusted enterprise data and its business context, the planned solution aims to help organizations build more accurate, context-aware AI applications and agents, while maintaining governance across their data and AI workloads.

The planned solution will help customers:

• Bring additional governed enterprise data to Databricks: Select data protected by Commvault and make it available in Databricks for analytics, AI applications, and agents without establishing a separate connection to each original source.
• Deliver data with its business context: Carry forward its source, ownership, access permissions, and lineage, while preserving retention and recoverability for analytics and AI applications and helping AI agents access the trusted enterprise context they need to deliver relevant, reliable results.
• Keep data current: Reflect new, changed, and deleted content over time, so business insights and AI applications and agents stay aligned with the latest source data.

"Commvault protects the data enterprises depend on," said Alan Atkinson, Chief Business Development Officer, Commvault. "Together with Databricks, we aim to make more of that trusted data available for AI while preserving the context that gives it value. This is about turning protected data into an active business asset."

"Customers tell us their data is most valuable in Databricks when that data's context travels with it," said Stephen Orban, SVP Product Partnerships and Ecosystem, Databricks. "Working with Commvault can expand the governed, trusted data available across Databricks, giving search, analytics, and AI applications more to work with across the business."

Availability
Early access for Commvault Data Activate for Databricks is planned for December 2026 in select Azure regions.
