Overview

If yours is like most enterprise companies, backup is your single largest application in-house. That typically means you are running multiple legacy backup solutions (NetBackup, Commvault, Spectrum Protect, etc.) for various business units. This results in high administrative time and less-than-stellar data protection.
With Cobalt Iron’s backup SaaS solution, you can eliminate complexity, dramatically reduce the time you spend on backup, and significantly improve your data protection performance. The result is a comprehensive data protection solution that is flexible, manageable, and affordable.
Compass is a new approach to data protection harnessing analytics and automation to drive out cost and complexity while delivering reliable protection and valuable data insights to the business.

Veeam can securely backup Microsoft 365 to any location, including on premises, a hyperscale cloud, or a service provider and:

Protects Microsoft 365 data from accidental deletion, security threats and retention policy gaps
