Today: Cobalt Iron (enterprise data protection, analytics, automation)
Company description: Cobalt Iron describes itself as the “global leader” in SaaS-based enterprise data protection, although there is quite a bit of competition in this international sector. Through analytics and automation, Compass from Cobalt Iron enables enterprises to transform and optimize legacy backup solutions into a simple cloud-based architecture.
Processing more than 7 million jobs a month for customers in 44 countries, Cobalt Iron delivers modern enterprise data protection for enterprise customers. Cobalt Iron reduces overall capital expenses by more than 50 percent while eliminating backup failures and inefficiencies.
At the same time, Cobalt says its platform allows for users to easily observe and manage backup and protection processes from a single, easy-to-understand interface. This means users no longer have to switch between several software offerings just to see what their data is doing. This has helped Cobalt customers to reduce complexity and increase productivity by over 80%, the company claims.
