Commvault announced a new Software-as-a-Service data protection offering called Metallic in its latest move in the hot market of enterprise data protection.
"We'll support AWS and Azure out of the box, with more [clouds] coming," said Mirchandani."And, more importantly, if customers want to use their own cloud because they have a cloud contract, go for it."
"We offer choice where it matters in the SaaS product, like for the storage, but it's completely guided in ten clicks," said Robert Kaloustian, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Metallic."I was a CIO for many years, and one of the things that irked me was when technology providers told me how to use technology, as opposed to telling me what the capabilities were and I would mold it into environment," Mirchandani said.
SaaS only startups Druva and new entrant Clumio are providing yet more options for those who want data protection to be easier to buy and use. In some ways Metallic could be seen as validating the market opportunity of SaaS-only backup, which will no doubt gratify Commvault's competitors in this space, but it will also provide additional competition, making market share harder and more expensive to come by.
