All modules are managed from the same cloud portal and Commvault claims Metallic is so easy to use, you can be up and running with your first backups in 15 minutes. Metallic is very flexible along with its own cloud storage, customers can choose to use their Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure cloud storage as backup destinations. It provides eight separate protection modules covering Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Active Directory (AD), VMware, Hyper-V, Azure VM and Kubernetes virtualisation hosts, databases, file and object storage, and endpoint protection. Metallic was first launched in the US in 2019 and Commvault has now made it available across many other regions, including the UK.
This BaaS (Backup as a Service) offering is a hybrid solution that combines on-site protection with cloud backup and represents great value as you only pay for the modules you need. Commvault has always been best known for its mastery of on-premises backup and recovery, but its Metallic offering catapults it firmly into the cloud.
