Clumio is an innovator of authentic SaaS for enterprise backup.  Using their secure service, organizations eliminate hardware and software for on-premise backup and avoid the complexity and cost of running third-party backup software in the cloud.  As enterprises move aggressively to cloud, they can use Clumio to protect workloads like VMware Cloud on AWS and AWS native services.
