Cobalt Iron Inc. announced that it has enhanced the search capabilities of its Compass enterprise SaaS backup platform with the release of a new Enterprise Object Search (EOS) feature. EOS introduces the ability to search the entire enterprise backup landscape at the object level — paths, directories, and filenames. The upgrade is free for existing and new Compass users.

“The ability to locate particular objects or files across an enterprise is becoming increasingly important in meeting a variety of ever-expanding regulatory, compliance, and e-discovery requirements,” said Paul Linder, product development manager at Cobalt Iron. “Unfortunately, most products on the market are restricted to searches against a single backup server. By allowing users to garner insights from their entire backup data repositories in a single request, Compass EOS streamlines operations for our customers while extending our market leadership in comprehensive data governance.”
