Commvault Partners With Pinecone to Add Cyber Resilience for Enterprise AI Vector Data
Commvault has announced a partnership with Pinecone aimed at strengthening cyber resilience for vector databases that underpin retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and other enterprise AI applications. The integration extends Commvault’s cloud-based resilience platform to protect Pinecone vector workloads, enabling immutable backups, point-in-time recovery, and extended retention without affecting query performance. The companies say the approach is designed for organizations that rely on vectors as a core data type but face strict compliance, governance, and recovery requirements. Key features include accelerated PITR, enhanced data protection, unified cyber resilience and compliance support with audit readiness.
Vector databases play a central role in modern AI systems by enabling fast, context-aware inference, yet many enterprises have lacked independent recovery options if that data is corrupted or compromised. Commvault’s solution, delivered via Commvault Cloud, adds an additional recovery layer on top of Pinecone’s native durability, with support for AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and multi-cloud deployments. The Commvault–Pinecone integration, expected to reach general availability in the first half of 2026, reflects that shift toward treating AI data infrastructure as mission-critical.
