“Our goal with the Top 5 report is to provide data center administrators with clear and well-researched information about the outstanding solutions in this space. With Compass’ analytics, automation, immutability, and ability to integrate with enterprise management tools, Cobalt Iron really set Compass,” said Jerome Wendt, president and founder, DCIG LLC.
According to the report, “Compass’ differentiators emerge in two broad ways. First, Compass uses AWS EC2 instances to deliver backup to the AWS cloud. This minimizes or eliminates the need for businesses to deploy of Compass or perform ongoing software management and backup storage. . Second, Compass monitors, accelerates, analyzes, and then orchestrates backup and recovery activities on AWS.”
The report highlighted three characteristics that distinguish Compass from the other Top 5 large enterprise AWS cloud backup solutions on the list:
A comprehensive analytics engine that automates back-end backup operations — Compass continuously monitors and analyzes all aspects of the backup environment, including any occurrences of cyberattacks, and automatically acts on the information to -optimize the infrastructure for faster backups and better utilization.
Backups stored in an immutable, inaccessible format — Through the Compass Cyber Shield feature, Compass encrypts all backups and stores them in an immutable format that no one other than authenticated and properly credentialed Compass users can access.
Integration with leading enterprise management tools — Enterprises can use tools such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet, ServiceNow, and vRealize to manage Compass.
“Thanks to its analysis and research, DCIG is an authority for anyone in the IT industry responsible for keeping data safe,” said Andy Hurt, chief marketing officer at Cobalt Iron. “With the widespread use of AWS in today’s enterprise IT infrastructure, Cobalt Iron continues to enhance the Compass platform to ensure that data to, from, and within the AWS cloud is airtight.”
