Brian Lanigan, Chief Partner Officer at Commvault, linked the partner awards to customer demand for data resilience as companies expand their use of AI.

"AI ambition is only as powerful as the resilience behind it. Customers need partners who can turn that ambition into real-world protection and recovery," said Brian Lanigan, Chief Partner Officer at Commvault. "This year's winners demonstrate what's possible when deep partner expertise and Commvault technology come together: stronger protection, greater resilience, and the confidence to recover."

Several winning partners said the awards reflected work in secure data handling, recovery and resilience across AI and hybrid computing environments.

"We're proud to be named Commvault's Global Partner of the Year. Working closely together, we combine secure storage with protection and clean recovery to help customers safeguard the data powering AI and strengthen recovery readiness," said Ricardo Moreno, VP of Global Partner Sales at Everpure.

CDW pointed to customer work across hybrid estates.

"Being named Commvault's AMER Partner of the Year reflects the impact of our partnership in helping customers protect critical data and strengthen recovery readiness across hybrid environments. At CDW, we're helping customers turn AI ambition into outcomes by building the resilient technology foundation they need to move forward with confidence," said Karl Schulz, Vice President of Product and Partner Management at CDW.

SoftwareOne credited both the technology and the relationship behind the award.

"We're truly honored to be named Commvault Fearless EMEA Partner of the Year 2026," said Nunzio Panto, EMEA Services Leader at SoftwareOne. "Commvault's technology helps us deliver exceptional customer value, but it's the amazing people, their dedication and support, who make this success possible. A big thank you for this recognition and our fantastic partnership."

NCS said the award recognised work linking AI adoption with cyber resilience.

"We're honoured to be named Commvault's APAC Partner of the Year," said Lim Keong, Chief Technologist at NCS. "Together, we help organisations bridge AI innovation and cyber resilience, combining our deep services expertise with Commvault's advanced recovery technologies to keep critical data protected, resilient and recoverable."

Yotta tied its award to data location, regulation and recovery requirements in India.

"As Indian enterprises put AI at the center of their business, where their data lives and how fast it can be recovered have become board-level questions," said Sashishekhar Panda, Executive Vice President of Cloud & Media Services at Yotta AI, Cloud, & Data Centres. "With regulations raising the bar, Yotta and Commvault provide sovereign infrastructure with clean, trusted recovery built in. This recognition reflects our shared commitment to keeping India's data protected, compliant, and resilient on Indian soil."
