Price advantage

Because it’s a SaaS solution, Metallic reduces reliance on on-premises infrastructure and helps customers save on maintenance and administrative costs, as they move from capex to opex expenditure. Backups for Microsoft 365 (Office 365), Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Salesforce offer unlimited storage capacity and an indefinite data retention period at a base rate. Endpoint backups also offer unlimited storage capacity and a one-year data retention included.  For Hybrid Cloud workloads, customers can leverage existing investments, and bring their own cloud or on premises storage, or get up and running quickly with Metallic Cloud Storage Service, with flexible and cost-optimized tiers.
