By using Metallic  it is no longer necessary to build a new backup system as was done in the past, and backup can be started in a few simple steps. Not only is it easily scalable on demand, but backup management for all workloads can be centrally managed from the same web-based console.

Broad coverage across workloads for hybrid cloud and on-premises

Metallic protects remote, on-premises and cloud environments. It supports key workloads for SaaS applications, endpoints, file servers, DB servers, cloud storage, virtual machines, and Kubernetes.
