Lumen Validated Design: Business Continuity Starts with a Resilient Network
As part of the collaboration, the Lumen® Validated Design (LVD) for Cyber Resilience with Commvault was published. The LVD is a cornerstone of Lumen’s connected ecosystem a set of tested and proven blueprints that customers can adopt with confidence, knowing they have been validated under real-world conditions.
“The explosion of data, ransomware attacks and regulatory complexity have significantly increased risk and costs for large enterprises,” said Pranay Alhawat, Chief Technology & AI Officer at Commvault. “Lumen and Commvault together can help joint customers scale recoveries, advance true multi-cloud resiliency, and remain in a state of continuous business.”
The LVD for Cyber Resilience with Commvault demonstrates how an integrated, automated platform reduces complexity, enforces zero-trust access and accelerates backup and recovery for customers in regulated or distributed infrastructures. Its features include air-gapped storage, anomaly detection and centralized policy management ensuring data integrity and business continuity even during sophisticated cyber incidents.
Proven Value for Real-World Conditions
The partnership between Lumen and Commvault delivers results in practice, not just theory. By consolidating 90 % of legacy backup platforms and reducing downtime, Lumen achieved annual savings of $3.5 million proof that the solution is scalable, repeatable and built for real-world impact. The LVD has been validated in Lumen’s own production environment and is ready for deployment across diverse industries including energy & utilities, healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, retail and media. The design supports continuous availability, rapid restoration, reduced downtime and protection of data integrity and reputation particularly in environments with regulatory and operational complexity.
