A one-day virtual event built for the folks who actually keep data, cloud, and recovery work on the rails.
Most virtual events blur together. Commvault SHIFT 2025 isn’t one of them. Commvault is putting on a global broadcast on November 19 that feels aimed straight at the people who fix the late-night outages, rebuild after breaches, and keep hybrid clouds from melting down. If your day starts with alerts and ends with Git commits, this show is speaking your language.
Why Commvault SHIFT stands out
You can feel the intent behind this program. It’s a beautifully produced event, but not for the polished hype or a parade of buzzwords. It’s a reminder that the tech stack keeps getting messier. We keep adopting more cloud, more SaaS, more AI, but the folks running it don’t get the luxury of pretending it’s simple.
SHIFT lines up a full day of sessions built around real-world pressure: protecting AI pipelines, dealing with new threat patterns, rebuilding clean systems after an attack, and keeping data steady while everything around it keeps changing.
The keynote digs into how teams are adapting to AI-driven environments, not in a “future of work” way, but in a “this already affects your job” way. The breakouts keep that same energy: identity-rooted recovery, multi-cloud protection, DevOps pipelines that don’t collapse under stress, and stories from teams who’ve been through disaster and lived to talk about it.
What makes it fun, not just useful
The event carries a pulse. Even the session titles hit with action and a bit of theater. It’s built to keep you moving instead of zoning out. The demos show new approaches to cloud and data protection that you can try without waiting for budget cycles or massive redesigns.
It’s also global and free. No travel. No juggling approval chains. Just log in, learn something useful, and grab what you need. I’ve been lucky enough to attend both in-person and virtual events held by the Commvault team, and they never disappoint!
The pitch, plain and simple
If you work in cloud, security, DevOps, platform engineering, or data recovery, SHIFT looks like the kind of event that gives you ideas you’ll actually try the following week. It’s fast, practical, and surprisingly fun for a virtual broadcast.
Add it to the calendar. Bring a notebook. This one feels worth it.
