  • Several hours a week of admin time no longer needed to deal with tapes.
  • Many hours a year saved in that the admin no longer has to deal with LTO drives, LTO drive firmware, tape libraries, tape library firmware, a physical server connected to tape library, etc. Retired old legacy NAS devices that in some instances no longer had firmware updates. One system to administer and maintain.
  • Piece of mind. We replicate from our onsite cluster to an offsite cluster in the event of a DR event at HQ.

  • Through cross site replication we have been able to recover rebuild an offsite location locally due to system failures at the remote location.
  • Quick restoration of VMs that housed our platform allowed our website to get back up quickly. Extended downtime could have cost tens of thousands of dollars in lost revenue.

  • Cost savings from having to purchase and manage physical tapes, as well as the man-hours to swap them in and out and store them off site.
  • Extremely fast recovery times, can bring up a restored VM back in our environment in under a minute. Get back up and running much quicker.
  • Simplifies our disaster recovery strategy.
  • Initial cost can be pricey depending on your storage needs.

  • The primary benefit for my company has been a dramatic reduction in time spent managing backups for our organization. With our previous solution, my backup admin would have to spend 5-10 hours a week managing and remediating our backup systems. With Cohesity the solution "just works" and has reduced that to 1 hour per week or less.
  • The ability to archive our backups to the cloud has reduced the amount of on-premise storage we've had to pay for. This means we are not having to constantly grow our backup clusters as the amount of data we are backing up or retaining has increased.

  • We have seen that the ransomware detection is working and that gives me peace of mind.
  • Helios has made it possible to see system trends in one location instead of having to log into several locations to see across multiple clusters.
