Integration of Commvault Metallic.io with IBM OpenShift for Online Backup Support

Many of our customers have already adopted Commvault Metallic.io as their preferred backup solution. 
Also, to simplify  IT operation managing separate backup solutions for Cloud Pak for Data environments adds complexity and costs (OADP)

Enabling  integration between Metallic.io and Cloud Pak for Data deployments would provide significant benefits.
Also off-line certification could be good at begining.

Rationale:

Leveraging Existing Investments: Our customers have made significant investments in Commvault Metallic.io for its comprehensive backup and recovery capabilities.

    Product Management is not considering any new backup tools at the moment. Customers are encouraged to bring IBM Lab services and integrate third party tools with CPD provided infra, if needed.

    The client need a certified solution to move the product in production. Suggestions are not enough for a bank. The client is further escalating this topic. I will need to further escalate if not addressed soon.

    I am not aware of any other customer looking for this one off backup restore product. Per discussion withthe account team, a meeting should be setup with IBM Engg and Metallic to see whats supported from Metallic to carry out a standard OADP backups.
