NASHVILLE, Tenn. KELYN Technologies has been named MSP of the Year for the Americas in the 2026 Commvault Fearless Awards. Commvault announced the winners at SHIFT 2026, its annual conference on cyber resilience, recovery and AI, held in Nashville.
Now in their second year, the Fearless Awards recognize the partners helping customers in each region with data protection, cyber readiness, cloud operations and AI recovery. The Americas MSP of the Year is the award for the managed service provider that does that work on Commvault's behalf: deploying it, moving customers onto it, and running it day to day.
That is the whole of KELYN's business. A Commvault partner since 2009, KELYN implements, migrates and runs Commvault for federal agencies, state and local governments, defense contractors and enterprises, with certified engineers based entirely in the U.S. and on call around the clock.

The award closes out a year in which KELYN widened how, and where, customers can get Commvault run for them.
