Commvault Metallic Cloud Storage Service Target for Backup and Recovery Software and HyperScale X Appliance

Commvault Systems, Inc. announced the availability of Metallic Cloud Storage Service, an integrated cloud storage target for its Backup and Recovery software and HyperScale X appliance.

Metallic Cloud Storage Service brings together technology from the company and Microsoft Azure for security and scale, with single pane of glass management through the firm’s Command Center.

“The need to leverage the cloud is only accelerating, and having simple, direct access to cloud storage as a primary or secondary backup target allows us to facilitate our customers’ journeys to the cloud while also providing a critical step in ransomware readiness with an air-gapped cloud copy,” said Manoj Nair, GM. “The introduction of Metallic Cloud Storage Service built on Microsoft Azure, within Commvault Complete software and HyperScale X can transform the way companies adopt cloud storage with significant ease, while reducing risks, controlling costs, and providing data management and protection in-and-out of the cloud, all through one interface.“

Metallic Cloud Storage Service with the company’s data management software also goes beyond simplified cloud data management and reduced overhead to provide critical layered data security and resiliency vs. a growing number of threats and vulnerabilities in hybrid cloud environments. For example, the FBI’s Cyber Division states the number of complaints about cyberattacks is as many as 4,000 a day, a 400% increase from what they were seeing pre-coronavirus.

“Metallic Cloud Storage protects vs. cyber-attacks by combining the underlying security of Microsoft Azure and the encrypted authentication and monitoring within Commvault’s data management platform, that provides secure, ai,apped and immutable copies of customer data,” said Jürgen Willis, partner director, program management, Azure Storage, Microsoft Corp. “As companies look to cloud to accelerate their digital transformation, reduce CAPEX, minimize risk, and improve remote work, Metallic Cloud Storage Service can help deliver vs. the most demanding data protection needs of today’s hybrid world.“

As today’s hybrid workloads span a customer’s entire business, and can be costly, difficult, and complex to manage, this new managed cloud storage service from the company makes it for IT administrators to expertly use the cloud as a backup target in a few clicks.

With Metallic Cloud Storage Service, customers have a simple path to cloud storage adoption and management without the learning curve.

The introduction of Metallic Cloud Storage Service follows the integration of Metallic SaaS into the Command Center.

Metallic Cloud Storage Service is available across North America, EMEA and APAC, and Metallic SaaS is available in North America and ANZ.
