Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a fast growing cloud option for organizations. However, backing up cloud-based workloads where the data is secure and can be easily and quickly recovered when needed presents challenges. Google Cloud Platform adoption often occurs as part of a hybrid or multi public cloud strategy and managing separate workloads across separate backup products introduces vulnerabilities to the data environment.
Compass® SaaS-based data protection enables large enterprises to consolidate backup operations and infrastructure across the enterprise, including Google Cloud backup workloads, significantly reducing risks and costs. With Compass, customers benefit from managing all their workloads and more in a single solution, on-prem or in public or private cloud, all from a single pane of glass.
“Cobalt Iron Compass again distinguishes itself in the arena of cloud backup… garners a spot in DCIG’s inaugural TOP 3 GCP Cloud Backup Solutions report.”

Compass Stands Out for Google Cloud Platform Cloud Backup and Data Protection
Protection for non-GCP MariaDB and NoSQL databases hosted in Google Cloud Platform
Compass is the leading option for customers with MariaDB or NoSQL databases hosted in GCP. Compass can support the protection of non-GCP databases hosted in GCP. All of these workloads and more are managed though a converged infrastructure across the on-prem and cloud backup landscape.

Compass is consistently and automatically evaluating backup environment performance in the GCP and across the rest of the enterprise environments. The software optimizes for performance automatically whenever possible, a completely unique feature across enterprise backup providers.
Data Protection for Multiple Public and Private Cloud Workloads
In addition to GCP, Compass protects applications running in the Amazon Web Services (AWS), Alibaba Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. For the majority of customers running a multi or hybrid cloud strategy, Compass stands out for its ability to protect such a diverse set of workloads in a unified solution.
