“We were looking for a data protection solution with a level of functionality and performance that not only matches our own solutions, but more importantly, matches our clients’ requirements. We found that match in Cobalt Iron,” said Steve Cowie, CEO, Melius. “With its easy, SaaS-based implementation and detailed data analytics, ADP enables us to build a compelling business case. We’ll be able to gain access to different levels within our clients’ businesses, build stronger relationships, and capture more business. And our customers will benefit from reduced cost of operation whilst complying with all current and future levels of compliance legislation/requirements.“

Melius’s aim is to achieve lean and efficient business operations through better technology adoption for lower TCO, future proofing, and competitive advantage. Its suite of business and digital transformation offerings includes a series of scalable cloud solutions.

ADP modernizes backup, delivering the features and scale of enterprise data protection along with the flexibility and economics of cloud consumption. It eliminates complexity, reduces management, scales from terabytes to exabytes, and provides the simplicity absent in backup technologies and tools. A modern approach to enterprise data protection, it takes advantage of progressive technologies such as analytics, SaaS, multicloud, and virtualization to enable superior data protection while centralizing and consolidating management of all systems, sites, and policies. It offers automated data protection for every enterprise environment and workload, from public-cloud (AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud, and Azure) and virtual systems to petabyte-scale data centers.

With ADP added to Melius offering, customers in the UK and Ireland have access to a compliant data protection suite that reduces complexity and the cost of operation. ADP will be a component of Melius’ IT director service, through which a Melius expert helps an organization consolidate and standardize its IT infrastructure and innovate its business processes.

“Melius Group’s offering of both managed cloud services and data-center solutions is the perfect complement to Cobalt Iron’s ADP cloud platform, which helps enterprises modernize their backup and restore operations just as they’re doing with other parts of the business,” said Mark Ward, COO, Cobalt Iron. “Organizations – especially ones in the cost-conscious public sector – can see real benefits by relying on ADP’s powerful cloud-based backup and restore capabilities and Melius Group’s services and expertise.“
