Lumen + Commvault: Architectures engineered for enterprise-grade resilience
Your business is only as strong as its security strategy. When backup systems are scattered and threats keep evolving, businesses need more than patchwork protection—they need a recovery framework that’s been proven under real-world pressure. Lumen Validated Design (LVD) for Cyber Resilience with Commvault is built to meet mission-critical recovery demands, helping keep your business responsive and ready.
With a widening gap between detection and defense, businesses are struggling to protect critical systems and maintain continuity.

Validated designs. Proven results.
LVD with Commvault does more than just safeguard data—it transforms recovery strategies into competitive advantages, delivering resilience through a comprehensive approach.
Accelerate time-to-value
with pre-validated, production-tested designs that help reduce deployment risk and speed implementation.
Reduce costs
through tool consolidation, dynamic bandwidth scaling and edge-optimized recovery that minimize data transfer and cloud egress fees.
Strengthen cyber resilience
using air-gapped vaults, immutable backups and multi-tiered recovery workflows to help ensure clean recovery and business continuity.
Scale with confidence
via a unified architecture that supports compliance built on the Lumen ultra-low-loss fiber network and edge footprint.
