Cobalt Iron has announced the availability of Secure Automated Backup with Compass, a new cloud backup-as-a-service offering, which is powered by the Cobalt Iron Compass SaaS platform. Developed with IBM, the solution serves enterprises that are running on, or moving to, an IBM Power Virtual Server.
The offering backs up AIX and Linux operating systems and databases in order to protect IBM Power systems, applications, and data. Secure Automated Backup with Compass is available in the IBM Cloud Catalog, providing IBM Power Virtual Server customers with an automated backup and restore experience that turns on within minutes. Previously, customers had to manually install, manage and secure all components of a backup infrastructure.
“IBM Power Virtual Server clients have voiced a significant need for automated, secure, and easy to use, business continuity solutions. Secure Automated Backup with Compass meets this demand by supporting our clients’ cloud expansion journey, providing nearly effortless backup solutions for their DB2, Oracle, and SAP workloads running on AIX and Linux operating systems,” said Ming Christensen, director of product management (power and SAP), IBM.
Additionally, customers can protect their on-premises power and other workloads with the same Compass cloud solution and get a consolidated, enterprise-wide view of data protection and recovery operations.
“Cobalt Iron has extended its deep integration and partnership with IBM with this new Compass offering in the IBM Cloud Catalog,” said Andy Hurt, CMO, Cobalt Iron. “This solution combines powerful protection of business-critical Power Virtual Server applications with the simplicity expected of a cloud service — a level of simplicity and security customers do not experience from any other backup solution.”
