Cohesity - The Simple and Powerful M365 Backup
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
With our move to M365 we needed a solution to backup our Microsoft Online Data. Cohesity provided a solution that required no tool or agent installed onto our on-premise infrastructure. Everything is hosted via cloud which was ideal for to reduce our on-premise footprint.
