Cloud-native data protection platform Clumio now covers Google Cloud Storage, bringing its air-gapped backup capabilities to enterprises running AI workloads across multiple cloud providers. The Commvault-owned company announced the expansion today as organizations increasingly distribute their artificial intelligence and analytics systems across different hyperscalers.
Clumio for Google Cloud Storage delivers fully managed backup-as-a-service with isolated, immutable copies stored in secure vaults separate from primary data. This architecture protects against ransomware attacks and accidental deletions while eliminating the infrastructure management burden that plagues legacy backup solutions.
Organizations can recover petabytes of data after outages, cyberattacks, or human errors without deploying additional hardware or software.
The move addresses a critical gap in multi-cloud strategies where 84% of cloud leaders intentionally use multiple environments to enable AI systems, balance risks, and manage massive datasets according to Kyndryl's 2025 Cloud Readiness Report. Traditional protection methods often fail across cloud boundaries, leaving data vulnerable and creating recovery bottlenecks that undermine AI initiatives.
"Google Cloud is a key partner for our multi-cloud strategy," said Alex Grach, Head of Engineering, Trusted Data Platform at Atlassian. "With Clumio for Google Cloud. We will be able to restore massive volumes of cloud data with a cloud-native SaaS solution that is easy to use and highly scalable."
Clumio's approach contrasts with manual processes that many organizations still rely on for cross-cloud data protection. These legacy methods can allow errors from bad code or human mistakes to propagate through AI pipelines, eroding trust in analytical outputs.
The platform uses unified policies and consistent workflows to reduce operational complexity as enterprises adopt multi-cloud architectures. The solution enters early access immediately with general availability targeted for summer 2026. Commvault will demonstrate the technology at Google Cloud Next 2026 in Las Vegas from April 22-24.
"Resilience must be just as dynamic as the modern AI-first cloud environment it protects," said Woon Ho Jung, Chief Technology Officer of Clumio, a Commvault company. "With Clumio now expanding to Google Cloud. We are enabling more customers to bring resilience to datasets that are powering today's AI transformation."
IDC Research Vice President Phil Goodwin noted the growing demand for advanced protection strategies as enterprises generate unprecedented volumes of cloud data for AI and analytics purposes. Air-gapped, scalable recovery has become essential for what he calls "today's modern agentic enterprise."
Clumio previously established itself in AWS environments where it claims 10x faster restore performance compared to competitors at 30% lower cost according to company presentations earlier this year.
