Business in Russia

2022: Commvault closed its representative office in Russia and the CIS, but is thinking about a partial return

Commvault closed the office and terminated employment contracts with employees of the Russian representative office, but obligations under already concluded contracts with customers continue to be fulfilled through partners. In mid-September 2022, one of the former employees of the representative office told TAdviser about this. First of all, we are talking about service contracts.

Among the partners of Commvault in Russia are Jet Infosystems, Mont, MTS Cloud, Softline, Marvel Distribution and a number of others. Judging by the open information, among the large customers of Commvault in Russia are companies such as Rusal and Alrosa. In the last 2-3 years, the purchase of solutions of this vendor was carried out by Uralchem, Rosstat and a number of others. And knowledge and experience of working with the Commvault backup system as a requirement in a number of vacancies for engineers on the HH recruiting portal can also be found at a number of banks, the National Payment Card System, and the Infogorod State Institution.

Back in March, against the backdrop of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Commvault announced its intentions to stop all commercial operations in the country. The products of the American vendor are no longer supplied to Russia.

According to a former employee, the staff of the Russian representative office of Commvault was small. Regional Director of Commvault in Russia and the CIS Ivan Zasokhlin, who has worked in this position since 2018, according to the source, will continue his career by collaborating with the Chinese vendor ZStack. Ivan Zasokhlin plans to act as one of the official representatives of ZStack in Russia.

Since the Russian office was also responsible for the work of Commvault in the CIS countries, with its dissolution, the company's activities were interrupted throughout the region, and not only in Russia. According to the former employee, the vendor is considering the possibility of returning to the markets of the CIS countries, with the exception of Russia. For this, several people can be hired in some CIS countries.

Commvault reported in May that the Russian market accounted for only about 1% of its global revenue^[1] And in August, the vendor's general director Sanjay Mirchandani noted that the material effect directly from leaving Russia for the company turned out to be small, but the Russian-Ukrainian conflict affects the market in Europe, causing a chain effect: customers have become more cautious and are more often guided by the principle of "twice measure, one cut"^[2]
