With eDiscovery, Metallic provides easy, intuitive ways for customers to search and export data for regulatory and organizational compliance. Through one singular, centralized search, Metallic customers can now pinpoint and uncover relevant and sensitive data across Office 365 and Endpoint workloads, with better speed and precision.

"Our goal is to be the trusted, enterprise-class SaaS solution for Intelligent Data Management. Our commitment to innovation is shining through as we continue to expand our portfolio with the simplest, cloud-based protection of mission critical workloads for existing Commvault customers and new customers alike," said Manoj Nair, General Manager, Metallic.
