- Commvault, a recognized global enterprise software leader in the management of data, announced it launched Metallic. These are the details.
Commvault — a recognized global enterprise software leader in the management of data across cloud and on-premises environments — announced it launched Metallic. Metallic is a Commvault Venture that delivers a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) portfolio that enables companies to affordably protect on-premises, cloud-based and hybrid file, and application data that can be up and running in 15 minutes. Metallic is launching at Commvault GO 2019.
Metallic will be available in 3 offerings including Metallic Core Backup & Recovery, Metallic Office 365 Backup & Recovery, and Metallic Endpoint Backup & Recovery. And customers can buy each offering on an annual or monthly subscription basis. The service is available in the US at launch and globally over time.
The core backup & recovery offering allows customers to select whether they want to back up their data leveraging Metallic’s cloud storage or to a mix of their own existing on-premises or cloud storage.
“It’s simple. If you lose important data you can lose your job. We designed and built Metallic with that in mind. When data loss hits, Metallic gets it back fast and without any surprises,” said Rob Kaloustian, SVP and General Manager of Metallic, A Commvault Venture. “Metallic is fast, secure, reliable and targeted at the most commonly used workloads in the midmarket, with enterprise-grade scalability. Combine these attributes with the ease and flexibility of a SaaS delivery model and we have a game-changing solution.”
Metallic’s pre-configured backup and recovery plans combine 20 years of best practices around fast onboarding and flexibility for custom configurations. Metallic customers are able to seamlessly scale up regardless of whether they want to protect 1TB or multiple petabytes.
“Many of our mutual customers are migrating their applications and data to the cloud. One of the really interesting use cases for Metallic is protecting individual user information within Office 365. Metallic provides the level of protection and governance that every company is going to be looking for,” added Steve Guggenheimer, Corporate Vice President, AI & ISV Engagement at Microsoft. “We’ve worked together for decades and Commvault has been right there with us in leveraging our latest capabilities. It’s exciting to see this new SaaS service coming along on top of Azure that brings together the best of what both companies have to offer.”
