Commvault Launches New BaaS Expansion for Metallic
Commvault has announced another expansion of its Metallic Backup as a Service (BaaS) portfolio. Coming off the heels of the previous quarter’s accelerated innovation, Metallic is adding new data protection solutions, features, and enterprise workload support. These additions include enhanced SaaS application protection through the introduction of Metallic Salesforce Backup and Microsoft Teams recovery enhancements; the addition of ORacle and Active Directory to Metallic Database Backup; and the expansion of its hybrid cloud capabilities with the addition of HyperScale X as a fully integrated appliance and edge offering for Metallic.
Commvault provides data protection and information management software to help organizations protect, access, and use all of their data economically. The vendor has a long list of supported public cloud providers, hypervisors, big data support, and database protection. The platform is primarily offered as a software-only solution, but Commvault also has an appliance option and an enterprise-grade SaaS offering for backup and recovery through Metallic. Commvault also acquired the data storage solution provider, Hedvig. The vendor’s software, solutions, and services are available directly through the company, as well as through a global ecosystem of partners.
Additionally, Metallic is now generally available in 23 countries, announcing support for nine new countries in the EMEA region today, including Austria, France, Germany, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, and Switzerland.
In a press statement, Manoj Nair, General Manager of Metallic, said, “as we continue our global rollout of Metallic, we’re finding more and more customers around the world are immediately grasping the value and inherent simplicity that cloud-native, as a Service data protection can bring to their environments. With our new offerings like Salesforce and Oracle backup and our unique SaaS Plus capabilities, Metallic solutions offer customers what no other cloud-delivered backup service can match: the most comprehensive portfolio of BaaS solutions and the flexibility to backup each data source to the optimal storage target-whether that be cloud or on-premises storage, or the new HyperScale X for Metallic at the edge for ultimate performance with BaaS simplicity.”
New Metallic solutions include hybrid cloud data protection solutions for SAP HANA and Kubernetes, in addition to Metallic Salesforce Backup, Metallic Office 365 & Teams Backup & Recovery, and HyperScale X for Metallic.
