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 capex by more than 50 percent while eliminating backup failures and inefficiencies.

Cobalt Iron uses a SaaS based, pay as you grow model. This means we don’t over-charge with pricing packages. Instead, we only bill you for the exact amount of data you need backed up and protected. This allows us to easily scale with your business while simultaneously cutting your data storage and backup costs by upwards of 50%.

At the same time, our platform allows for you to easily observe and manage backup and protection processes from one, easy to understand interface. This means you no longer have to switch between several software offerings just to see what your data is doing. This has helped our customers to reduce complexity and increase productivity by over 80%.
