Sanjay Mirchandani is the CEO at Commvault. As a customer-driven CEO, Sanjay is determined to deliver solutions that liberate customers to do amazing things with data. Since joining the company, he has done this by further innovating Commvault’s industry-recognized portfolio; incubating Metallic, an award-winning SaaS offering; and strengthening the Company’s robust partner ecosystem.
The power of cloud computing has fractured the provenance of data, and someone’s got to put it all back together again, an opportunity uniquely suited to CommVault tools such as Metallic, the company believes.
Never has data been more valuable nor more vulnerable. Never has data been so separated from where it was created. The provenance of data was always tightly coupled to the application that created it, your databases, your transactional systems, your COBOL systems. A single application may run in Azure in Asia, and then may run in an Oracle cloud facility in Europe, and then in Google's GCP cloud service in the US. Every one of those applications, wherever they live, spits out another set of data, it's another potential point of failure, another set of dark data that needs to be managed. ...you can't go from a super tightly integrated set of capabilities to anything anywhere; there is a happy medium, and that's the role that we play," the role of an "abstraction layer".
