As Federal agencies approach the final stretch of fiscal year 2025, the challenge of securing comprehensive data security coverage while maximizing remaining budget dollars has become increasingly critical. Commvault has partnered with Carahsoft to deliver a strategic end-of-fiscal-year opportunity that combines substantial cost savings with the highest level of Federal security authorization available in the data protection market.
Consolidating Data Protection Under a Single Platform
Federal agencies often work with a range of vendors to meet their diverse data protection needs, which can introduce added complexity, training considerations and operational demands. Commvault’s Data Protection Bundle addresses this challenge by unifying data protection, Active Directory protection and air-gapped data security capabilities under one comprehensive platform.
This consolidation approach delivers measurable operational benefits that extend beyond cost reduction. Agencies can significantly minimize the time required for deployment and training, reduce management costs and improve their response capabilities during critical events such as ransomware attacks or data loss incidents. When every minute counts in a recovery scenario, having a unified platform can mean the difference between rapid restoration and extended downtime.
Setting the Security Standard with FedRAMP High Authorization
Federal agencies operate under stringent security requirements that often limit their technology choices, particularly when handling sensitive or classified information. Commvault distinguishes itself as the only data protection provider to achieve FedRAMP High authorization while maintaining availability across all major cloud platforms.
This security credential represents the highest level of authorization available for cloud services serving Government customers, demonstrating Commvault’s ability to meet the most demanding Federal security standards. For agencies required to maintain strict compliance protocols, this authorization eliminates the complexity of lengthy security evaluations while ensuring their data protection solution meets or exceeds all regulatory requirements.
Simplifying Deployment Across Diverse Government Environments
Government agencies face unique infrastructure challenges, from legacy on-premises systems to modern cloud deployments, often with varying levels of technical resources and expertise. Commvault’s unified platform architecture addresses these challenges by maintaining consistency across all deployment scenarios—whether on-premises, cloud, virtual or physical environments.
Since the underlying code remains consistent across all implementations, agencies experience significantly reduced deployment times compared to managing multiple vendor solutions. This consistency also translates to streamlined training processes and lower administrative overhead, particularly valuable for agencies with limited technical staff or those supporting geographically distributed operations.
Leveraging Strategic Procurement Advantages
The Data Protection Bundle is readily available through General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule contracting, providing Federal buyers with the streamlined procurement process they understand and trust. This availability is enhanced by Carahsoft’s partnership with Commvault to offer additional savings of up to 60% off manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP)—savings that stack on top of existing GSA Schedule discounts that agencies have historically leveraged.
While the focus remains on end-of-fiscal-year procurement opportunities, Commvault has committed to honoring this pricing structure through the end of the calendar year, providing agencies with flexibility in their planning and implementation timelines.
Supporting Widespread Federal Adoption
Commvault’s platform is already deployed across numerous Federal agencies, spanning both Department of Defense (DoD) and civilian organizations. Many of these agencies utilize Commvault to protect shared environments through a single unified platform, demonstrating the solution’s ability to scale across diverse Government requirements while maintaining the security boundaries and operational control that Federal organizations require.
This existing Federal footprint provides new adopters with confidence in the platform’s proven ability to meet government-specific mandates while offering opportunities for knowledge sharing and best practice development across agency lines.
Federal agencies looking to strengthen their data protection capabilities while maximizing end-of-fiscal-year budget efficiency should evaluate how Commvault’s comprehensive bundle addresses their mission-critical requirements. With proven FedRAMP High authorization, substantial cost savings and streamlined GSA procurement, this solution offers a strategic pathway to enhanced data security and operational efficiency.
