03, September, 2026, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT), a leader in unified resilience at enterprise scale, concluded its participation at LEAP 2026, reaffirming its commitment to helping enterprises embed cyber resilience into Saudi Arabia's accelerating cloud and AI transformation.

At the event, Commvault was present at the Microsoft, Logicom and Axelerated booths where the executives engaged with customers, partners, and industry stakeholders to discuss the evolving resilience requirements in the age of AI, cloud adoption and the growth of critical digital services across the Kingdom. Commvault used the event as a platform to deepen relationships with key partners, customers and prospects across the region, laying the groundwork for new collaborations, with more news to follow in the coming months.

LEAP 2026 highlighted Commvault’s growing collaboration with Microsoft and its plans to support customers as more critical cloud and AI workloads move to local infrastructure in the Kingdom. Under the multi-year strategic partnership announced by both companies in June 2026, Commvault’s AI and cyber resilience technologies are being integrated and delivered as a native ISV service on Microsoft Azure. The partnership will enable organisations to embed backup and recovery capabilities directly into the Azure environments where their critical workloads operate, helping them protect and recover data, applications and identities following cyberattacks, outages or human error.

The partnership comes at an opportune moment as Saudi Arabia accelerates its cloud and AI ambitions under Vision 2030. With the Kingdom’s data centre capacity reaching 467 MW in early 2026 and Microsoft’s Saudi Arabia East region expected to become available in Q4, organisations must embed cyber resilience into local cloud environments from the outset.

Dr. Mazen Abduljabbar, Country Manager – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at Commvault, said,

“The conversations we had at LEAP 2026 reflected how rapidly Saudi Arabia is moving from AI experimentation to large-scale implementation, supported by the expansion of local cloud infrastructure. As this momentum builds, resilience must keep pace. Keeping workloads and data in-country is only part of the equation; organisations must also be confident that they can recover critical applications, data and identities quickly and cleanly when disruption occurs. LEAP reinforced why recovery must remain central to the Kingdom's growing cloud and AI ambitions.”

Throughout LEAP, Commvault outlined how it brings cyber resilience to an AI-driven world through Commvault Cloud Unity, a unified platform for data security, cyber recovery and identity resilience across environments. The platform provides organisations a single experience for managing resilience across increasingly complex multi-cloud environments while supporting their security, recovery and compliance requirements.
