Use Case

Edge Data Resilience

Distributed sites are the new frontlines of cyber risk. Commvault Edge brings enterprise-grade protection, immutability, and rapid recovery to every location — without adding complexity.

Market Context

The edge is the new frontline

Edge and remote sites are expanding – and so are threats.  In 2025, 22% of breaches stemmed from edge or VPN exploits1. As data grows, enterprises must protect workloads beyond the data center, maintaining uptime and recoverability everywhere.

Growing attack surface

Edge devices and remote sites are prime ransomware targets, with attack volume rising 15% year over year. 1

Rising cost of disruption

Average breach cost reached $4.88M, while outage costs are climbing even without cyberattacks (Uptime Institute).2

Expanding edge footprint

Edge IT spending is projected to hit $380B by 2028 (IDC). As organizations push compute closer to data, they need protection that’s secure, scalable, and simple. IDC projects Edge IT spending will hit $380 billion by 2028. As compute shifts to the edge, protection must evolve—to be scalable, simple, and resilient.
