Customers are better understanding the value of cloud-native, as-a-service solutions for data protection, according to Manoj Nair, general manager for Metallic.
“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,” Nair said in a Jan. 26 news release.
In the release, Vinny Choinski, senior validation analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group, also said that Commvault’s efforts with Metallic represent an “impressive backup-as-a-service ecosystem.”
