Cohesity and MongoDB: A double-click into the integration

Today we announced the general availability of our integration with MongoDB, the world’s most popular document database. As one of the first vendors to offer comprehensive backup and recovery via the official MongoDB Third Party Backup Ops Manager API—Cohesity is setting a new standard for large-scale, mission-critical MongoDB environments.

Key capabilities of the Cohesity and MongoDB integration

This purpose-built integration is designed for enterprises with large-scale, mission-critical MongoDB environments—think global banks, financial services firms, and Fortune 500 companies. With this release, organizations can now seamlessly protect, manage, and recover MongoDB datasets at speed and scale—meeting stringent recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs) with confidence.

Key capabilities

Using the Cohesity-MongoDB integration, organizations can unlock a wide range of enterprise-grade capabilities:

• Cyber resilient ransomware protection: Experience cyber resilient protection with immutable backups, RBAC, and end-to-end encryption. The solution auto-discovers MongoDB Ops Manager (OM) objects, enabling a frictionless and intuitive user experience. It also fully supports OM instances running in High Availability (HA) mode and with SSL encryption—ensuring secure, resilient protection for even the most demanding environments. 
• Business continuity and redundancy: Protect replica sets and sharded clusters with flexible secondary, primary, or fixed preferred backup nodes—enabling continuous availability and failover readiness. Achieve stricter SLAs (both RPO and RTOs) and eliminate data loss in high-velocity environments. 
  
• Sharded and Replicaset deployment support: Confidently protect and recover diverse MongoDB topologies.
• Application-consistent backups: Maintain data integrity across complex MongoDB deployments through tightly integrated snapshot orchestration.
• Disaster recovery: Restore MongoDB clusters in-place or to new environments following failures or ransomware events.
• Performance testing and upgrades: Safely evaluate performance enhancements or upgrades on alternate hardware with no production downtime.
• Dev/test refreshes: Seamlessly refresh development environments using out-of-place recovery from clean, consistent MongoDB backups.

This integration is built to scale and smart enough to adapt—bringing simplicity and strength to MongoDB data management at any scale.

Features and benefits

Speed: Cohesity delivers rapid recovery by using parallel data streams and  backups. This enables MongoDB databases to be restored up to twice as fast as traditional methods—with fast recovery and point-in-time restores available.

Security: With a Zero Trust architecture, Cohesity ensures robust protection for MongoDB workloads through end-to-end encryption, immutable WORM storage, role-based access control, and continuous data protection to defend against ransomware and malicious threats.

Scale: Cohesity’s scale-out architecture supports even the largest MongoDB environments, while global deduplication and compression dramatically reduce storage requirements without compromising data performance.

Smarts: Teams benefit from policy-based automation and advanced analytics, gaining actionable insights and streamlined workflows via centralized reporting, alerting, and an API-first platform for seamless integration.

Simplicity: Unified management through the Cohesity Data Cloud and native integration with MongoDB Ops Manager provide straightforward, application-consistent protection for both sharded and unsharded deployments, eliminating complexity.

Applications and use cases

Financial services compliance and resilience: Use the Cohesity and MongoDB integration to safeguard petabytes of sensitive financial data. The solution’s fast recovery and immutable backups enable banks to meet strict regulatory requirements and swiftly recover from ransomware attacks.

E-commerce data protection at scale: Achieve lower RTOs for enormous MongoDB datasets, ensuring high availability and seamless customer experiences even during outages for environments that manage billions of customer transactions daily.

DevOps and Test/dev refresh: Leverage out-of-place recovery to quickly refresh development and testing environments with live MongoDB data. Accelerate innovation while maintaining data integrity and security.

Strengthening resilience of MongoDB workloads

As MongoDB continues to be a cornerstone in modern data architectures, ensuring its protection is paramount. As one of the first vendors to offer deep MongoDB workload resilience via the official Ops Manager API, Cohesity empowers organizations to confidently protect, recover, and optimize their most critical data assets.

Our MongoDB integration isn’t just about checking a box. It’s about delivering real, measurable advantages to help organizations meet and exceed their recovery objectives, even at a massive scale.
