Commvault and Oracle Partner to Deliver Metallic® Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to Accelerate Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Adoption.
On June 29, 2022 Commvault announced its latest partnership with Oracle, enabling the Metallic DMaaS on Oracle Cloud.
Commvault & Oracle Partnership
Oracle and Commvault share over 3000 customers, and both the number of joint customers and the amount of data Commvault are protecting continue to grow every year.
Commvault has been an Oracle partner for quite some time, enabling the protection of traditional Oracle Data for many years. However, with Oracle’s Cloud offerings growing in popularity every year, Commvault has added support to Oracle Cloud to protect those workloads too.
In 2019 Commvault released Metallic, a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution to provide Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) to Cloud customers. This allowed customers to use a subscription model to protect data both on-prem and on certain cloud platforms. This new partnership with Oracle, extends this capability to Oracle Cloud.
