Bottom Line
Turbonomic is more than just a cloud migration tool — it is a complete hybrid cloud automation platform that can monitor and optimize your cloud computing workloads.
Cloud Storage and Backup Benefits
Protecting your company’s data is critical. Cloud storage with automated backup is scalable, flexible and provides peace of mind. Cobalt Iron’s enterprise-grade backup and recovery solution is known for its hands-free automation and reliability, at a lower cost. Cloud backup that just works.
These automation capabilities make it a good fit for DevOps environments, including those that use containers and platform as a service (PaaS). It supports AWS and Azure but may not be the best option for organizations that use less well-known public cloud vendors.
Given the width and breadth of its feature set, Turbonomic is a good choice for business who use one of the two leading cloud platforms.
