When it Comes to Cost-Savings for Data Protection, Think SaaS

Protecting your company’s valuable data is a necessity and not a choice. It’s a critical priority to keep your data safe from deletion, ransomware, and other emergencies. But as organizations look to increased ROI and streamline costs, SaaS-based services are seeing increased adoption – delivering cost effective, enterprise grade data protection with significant savings on the bottom line.

While traditional, self-managed solutions are a viable solution to today’s threats, the biggest challenge lies within the inherent costs. In fact, for every $1 spent to establish on-prem data center infrastructures, a company will pay $2 to manage, maintain, and secure it.¹ In contrast, SaaS-based services have a huge upfront cost savings benefit, with reduced startup investments and no need to sink funds into hardware purchases.

With Metallic^TM Backup & Recovery, Commvault’s portfolio of cloud-native solutions, businesses get industry proven data protection across their workloads, with the simplicity of all-inclusive TCO. This means you enjoy cost-effective protection for your organizational data (wherever it lives) without the expenditures, overhead, hassle or IT burden typically associated with self-managed solutions.

Let’s look at a specific example with Metallic^TM Office 365 Backup & Recovery:
