We have invested in and equipped our Canadian and US-based datacentres with the highest-grade quality hardware and software to help growing businesses face operational challenges and support their need for staying ahead. One exceptional turnkey solution that has received very positive customer feedback is our Cohesity-as-a-Service data backup and recovery solution. Here are 4 standout Cohesity differentiators:
- Backup and recovery

- Long-term retention and archival
- Cloud data management and protection
When considering a data protection strategy, it is vital to ensure that your choice of service provider can ensure, amongst others, that your local data is protected from accidental deletion, data corruption, application crashes and viruses, to name but a few. It is also important that their solution supports the rapid recovery of individual files and long-term retention of data to meet regulatory and legislative requirements. Finally, you have to ensure that your service provider is able to provide both on- and offsite data protection in the event of a disruptive event.
1. Backup and recovery
Regardless of the size of your business, data is likely an essential aspect of running it. You need a robust plan to keep your data safe and an innovative, software-defined backup and recovery solution to protect your data sources. The Cohesity platform is not only built for scale but also offers peak performance resulting in substantially simplified backups, rapid recovery and reduced costs.
2. File and object
File and object backup solutions protect two distinct types of unstructured data – object storage and file systems. The solution you choose should be able to merge files and objects at scale and include global deduplication, global search, and multiprotocol access. The benefits of choosing this solution include multiprotocol access, unlimited scalability, global deduplication, and public cloud integration.
3. Long-term retention and archival
When following data management best practices, part and parcel of your solution should be the successful long-term retention and archival of data and inactive applications that are still valuable to the organization. You should look for a solution that simplifies this process with a single, cloud-native solution that backs up and archives data directly to the cloud yielding instant results.
4. Cloud data management and protection
When comparing your options, you should consider a scalable solution that can offer a pay-as-you-go plan and is capable of integrating with Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. This setup is ideal for multiple use cases from data backup to disaster recovery.
