Poojan Kumar shared thisThank you Siddhartha Ahluwalia for the fun conversation. What you are doing with Neon Fund is remarkable. Helping early stage entrepreneurs bootstrap and grow. Keep going!Poojan Kumar shared this$25 million in revenue. Then sold to Nutanix. Then he did it again. Built Clumio from zero, sold to Commvault for a reported eight figures. Poojan Kumar has built and exited two enterprise companies back to back. Only a select few have been able to do that. He walks us through why raising too much money creates its own set of problems, how a first time CEO who knew nothing about sales learned to close large enterprise deals, and why the day after the acquisition the founder has a totally different role and responsibilities. Full episode drops tomorrow. Subscribe here. https://lnkd.in/gnAFEj3f

Poojan Kumar shared thisGreat job Gary Merrill on a job well done and excited about you coming back as Commvault new CFO.Poojan Kumar shared thisI find myself in a unique position this week. As Commvault’s new CFO, I am celebrating a strong close to the fiscal year by the go-to-market organization I’ve led for the past two years. I couldn’t be prouder of my team or more confident in the foundation we are standing. Commvault is growing profitably, adding new customers, expanding our installed base, and monetizing emerging capabilities, like Clumio and our Active Directory identity resilience offerings. Not only do we have a significant market opportunity, but we have the best platform in the industry. Congratulations and thank you to all our Vaulters globally! https://lnkd.in/esyyUTJcCommvault Announces Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results | NewsCommvault Announces Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Results | News

Poojan Kumar reposted thisPoojan Kumar reposted this"Your agent just deleted prod. Now what?" AI agents are operating at scale — and when they go wrong, the blast radius isn't one file. It's entire buckets. Woon Ho Jung, CTO of Clumio, breaks down why replication won't save you and what air-gapped backup across AWS and GCP actually looks like in practice. One policy. One portal. Two clouds. And a recovery point that no agent can touch. https://lnkd.in/gpx5pJqZ Full conversation on the CTO Advisor podcast.

Poojan Kumar reposted thisPoojan Kumar reposted thisJust wrapped a great conversation with Woon Ho Jung, CTO - Cloud Native, Commvault, at Google Cloud Next 2026 and this one hit a nerve. Everyone is talking about multi-cloud, AI pipelines, and scaling data. But almost no one is talking about what’s quietly breaking underneath it all. Data protection. We got into what’s really happening inside enterprises today. Teams assume replication and retention policies are enough. They’re not. At scale, across billions of objects, things get messy fast. Gaps show up where you least expect them. That’s where the big announcement comes in. Clumio is going deeper with Google Cloud. Clumio for GCP is not just another backup solution. It’s a rethink of how you protect cloud-native data, especially inside Google Cloud Storage where most AI and analytics pipelines live today. What stood out to me: - Protecting data at massive scale is still an unsolved problem for many teams Native tools give a false sense of security - Resilience in the AI era needs a completely different approach If you’re building on Google Cloud right now, this is something you need to pay attention to. This is not about backup. This is about trust in your data layer. #data #ai #commvault #security #googlecloudnext #api #google #theravitshow

Poojan Kumar liked thisPoojan Kumar liked thisAfter this year's Gartner D&A Summit, the conversation among enterprise data leaders has shifted from why you need a context layer to how fast you can build one. At the Data Summit in Boston this week, enterprise leaders are discussing execution and real business impact. Data leaders are exploring ways to speed up the path toward a unified context foundation for humans and agents. WALT has been at the center of these conversations, co-envisioning the world of agents acting on structured data. If you're at the event today, come find us at the WALT booth.

Poojan Kumar liked thisPoojan Kumar liked thisI’m really grateful to be named again to The Channel Company's Women of the Channel list. Moments like this always make me pause, because they’re never just about one person. They’re about the people around you: my team, my peers, my leaders, and genuinely everyone at Commvault who shows up every day, pushes you to think bigger (and sometimes differently), and the partners who build alongside you. I feel very lucky to be part of Commvault, where we truly support one another, challenge each other, and keep raising the bar together. A big congratulations to all the incredible women recognised this year, especially to my fellow Vaulters who I have the privilege to learn from, collaborate with, and grow alongside.

Just dropped: a great conversation with Gleb Budman Budman, CEO of Backblaze, a leader in low-cost, high-performance cloud storage and a compelling voice in the future of multi-cloud infrastructure. In today’s world, the biggest challenge for builders, developers, and architects isn’t just where you store data, it’s how much it costs to move, scale, and access that data across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The hyperscalers give you scale, but the egress fees and price unpredictability often bite hard. That’s why companies like Backblaze are gaining traction, they’re building S3-compatible object storage that plays nicely in multi-cloud stacks while keeping costs transparent and predictable. If you’re building the cloud infrastructure of tomorrow, it’s increasingly clear that: No single provider will win every workload Multi-cloud + hybrid cloud models give you flexibility and resilience Cost efficiency isn’t optional — it enables innovation Backblaze is carving its niche by challenging legacy pricing models and giving developers and enterprises more options without lock-in. At SpringDB and DataStorage.com, we see this shift firsthand. Modern data stacks need to be open, performant, and affordable, aligned with a future where data moves freely, workloads span clouds, and value isn’t dictated by legacy pricing. If your architecture strategy doesn’t take multi-cloud economics into account yet…now’s the time. Listen, learn, and think differently about where your data lives and how it travels.

Today, I want to share with you something both massive and inescapable — a force reshaping software development as we know it. Our Co-Founder and CEO Shlomi Ben Haim is writing about the wave — the tidal wave — of binaries. Not metaphorical. Literal. Real. Growing exponentially. As AI advances, as automation replaces hand-coded source lines, the sheer number of compiled artifacts — the executable outputs — is skyrocketing. In this new world, you need a single source of truth — a system of record — not just for source code, but for every binary that flows through your software supply chain. Check it out via the link in Shlomi's post below.

💡 Why did SiriusXM move to Portworx and Red Hat OpenShift? It came down to two things: lower TCO and greater flexibility. In this clip from theCUBE, Nate Mason, Director of Platform Operations at SiriusXM, shares how the team built a scalable, hybrid cloud platform that spans on-prem, cloud, and edge - without locking themselves into costly legacy infrastructure. 🎯 The result? A fully integrated architecture that just fits. 🎥 Watch the story: Why TCO and Flexibility Drove SiriusXM’s Move to Portworx + Red Hat https://lnkd.in/e_4RtDpC #Portworx #RedHatOpenShift #SiriusXM #HybridCloud #CloudNative #DevOps #Infrastructure #Kubernetes #TCO
