Winners of the Best of VMworld 2020 Awards

The Resilience and Recovery category recognizes products and services designed to back up, restore and replicate data or achieve fault tolerance in a virtual server or cloud infrastructure. These products assist organizations in the event of a disaster and can help businesses get back on their feet after an outage, failure or cyberattack.

Winner: Metallic (a Commvault venture), Core Backup & Recovery

What the judges said: "Cloud-based backup done right for a change. Metallic took the time to figure out what worked in the cloud and what didn't. The company ended up creating an app that was actually designed for the cloud -- a SaaS-based solution for the modern enterprise."
