We mainly used this to protect data from an old Nas platform. We then we’re also able to present that data as a view through Cohesity. It was nice to be able to protect and present this data. We have also looked into protecting the rest of our environment because this is capable of doing so.

Cohesity - A Versatile and Easy to Use Backup Solution.
Cohesity has been a great addition to our organization as a backup solution. We have been using it for the last 5 years now, and it is being used for backing up AWS instances, on-prem servers, and NAS shares. Using Cohesity is fairly easy since all configurations can be done from the GUI. However, at the same time, it is still not fully mature, and every now and then, we do face issues where we have to work with the support and development team to resolve them.
We are currently using Cohesity for our on-prem backups, and backup as a service for all our M365/O365 applications. Our previous vendor was not able to complete all backups within a 24 hour time period, this caused items to miss backup schedules. A second appliance was added to try and help this issue, and it did for a brief period, then it was an issue again. Instead of adding a 3rd appliance we started shopping around for a new product.

We use Cohesity Helios Backup to the Cloud and Office 365 Backup. We now have reliable offline backups and incremental immutable backups. It provides mission-critical backup and restore. O365 backup comes useful when it emails go "missing" - easy to operate interface helps us quickly recover what's needed. We never had to use any other services and we hope it will stay this way.

Cohesity DataProtect allowed my organization to modernize our backup system away from tapes and into a modern data management system. No longer have to deal with ordering and configuring new media, swapping tapes in and out to libraries, and or data safe. All of our VMware workloads along with our unstructured data are now backed up via Cohesity. We were also able to retire multiple legacy NAS devices and move the data all into one Cohesity cluster.

The
trial period was great; we were able to leverage the virtual edition to
fully test features before bringing the actual hardware onsite for a
POC. The solution has worked well and has outclassed our previous setup
in both ease of use as well as efficiency and speed. One year in and we continue to be impressed by Cohesity. New
features have been released and we have had great success with restores. We are now closing in on the end of our second full year
utilizing our Cohesity cluster and it is performing as well as ever. I
would recommend firing up a virtual instance of the cluster so that you
can easily test out the complete functionality of the Cohesity
ecosystem. They are adding applications that can be run directly on the
cluster against your backups so that your production workloads are not
negatively impacted. The product continues to perform beyond our initial
expectations. User feedback is taken very seriously and I have
personally seen improvements implemented that I specifically requested.
The entire platform is being used to host other applications which can
work with your backups, as well as a new software/cloud-only option
which would be nice if you no longer want to host your own hardware. After more than 2 years I have to say the data deduplication
and compression have really continued to shine. We have not needed to add
additional capacity, something that was an annual occurrence with our
old backup system.

We use Cohesity DataProtect as our backup and disaster recovery solution for our multisite environment. We backup physical machines, virtual machines, and all of our databases using it. Cohesity DataProtect allows us to store all of our data in multiple locations with cross site replication and archives the cloud and keeps all of the data safe with immutability and encryption. The UI and reporting makes it easy to report to provide easy to follow information to the higherups. We utilize Helios with Cohesity DataProtect, to have complete control over the appliances from a single pane of glass.

We currently use Cohesity as our backup system and secondary storage for our organization. We use it across the organization for all data. It replaced our tape library system as well as phased out Veeam. We also use it to push a copy of our most recent backups to the cloud via AWS.

Cohesity replaced two legacy 'backup' platforms along with three different storage platforms during a merger of equals. SouthState Bank specifically protects over 1000 virtual servers (VMware) and 100+ MS SQL instances across multiple data centers. Cohesity allows policy-driven data protection that gives us the flexibility to protect test/dev data differently than our production and mission-critical data.

Cohesity DataProtect, an intuitive backup solution
We use Cohesity DataProtect as our data backup solution. This covers VMware VMs, SQL DBs, Windows servers, and Cisco switch configurations. Our previous backup solution was complicated to maintain and use. Cohesity DataProtect was significantly less expensive than the previous solution, along with being vastly easier to use, and came as an appliance solution.

Cohesity DataProtect has allowed us to integrate our backup solution into the same platform as our hypervisor compute platform. This allows us to gain efficiency in keeping it up to date as well as monitor it from a single pane of glass. We were able to upgrade the storage to an enterprise level product that has seen better performance and reliability than our previous solution. With the addition of the Cohesity Helios app we are able to keep a closer eye on backups anywhere we go.

We onboarded with Cohesity to replace an existing backup solution that we felt were no longer innovative while price for renewal kept increasing year by year. Cohesity was both competitive and showed innovation that was regarded as a leader in its field while providing much for solutions than just simple backup allowing us to converge not just the infrastructure but also different solutions into one.

Enterprise backup made fast and easy
We use Cohesity DataProtect to back up all of our physical and virtual servers as well as desktops. The primary problems Cohesity addressed for us were that we wanted our backup data to be on separate disks than production (this was not the case before) and we wanted faster restore times for virtual machines. We have a Cohesity cluster in each of our data centers and use the replication feature so our backup data has redundant copies.

We use Cohesity to perform regular backups of all our on-premises workloads. These workloads consist of both physical machines as well as virtual instances running in a VMware environment. We perform daily backups and keep those backups for up to one year depending on the backup type.

Cohesity is used by our internal IT department for backup and restore. It has been used mostly for backups using ESXi. MSSQL and Exchange will also be backed up with Cohesity. You can create BackUp groups and link them to vCenter Folders. As soon as you create a VM in this folder it will be automatically backup.
Also SQL Backup is easy to set up and once you know how the restore is also easy.

Helios to the rescue!
We use Helios for the Ransomeware detection. Since we have enabled it, we had one time that it did detect, but after investigation, we found that it was an update to an app and deleted a bunch of temp files as a part of the update. We also use it for the marketplace. Great to have ClamAV in the marketplace.

We currently only have a single on-perm cluster but use Helios to access certain features like the anti-ransomware, security advisor and Helios reports. We only use Helios within the IT department but being a SaaS service it aligns with our Cloud first vision and means we can access and manage Cohesity from anywhere.
