In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, secure and reliable data backup isn’t just a necessity — it’s a cornerstone of operational excellence. IBM Cloud and Cobalt Iron are committed to delivering industry-leading technology that combines advanced security, seamless automation, and a pay-as-you-use storage model based on post-compression data.
We are introducing a lower price point for clients who have single replication requirements. In addition to the existing pricing plan of $0.16 per GB for maximum uptime and highly sensitive workloads, clients with use cases that don’t require dual replication can now opt for a single replication option at $0.12 per GB. For example, a 1PB backup, post-compression equates to just $0.04 per GB!
