See Cohesity Cloud Edition backing up on-premises VMs directly to Microsoft Azure.
Cohesity has long provided its customers with the ability to back up data on-premises and extend the data to the public cloud. The initial capabilities have focused on the following set of use cases:
Figure 1
CloudArchive replicates data to the cloud for long term retention.
Figure 2
CloudTier uses cloud storage as a storage tier.

CloudTier uses cloud storage as a storage tier.
Backup to Cloud: Cohesity is now introducing the ability to back up data directly to the Azure cloud without the need for a local Cohesity cluster.
As you can see in Figure 4, a Cohesity Cloud Edition cluster is provisioned in the Azure cloud. This cluster can be used to back up applications running in Azure. But it can also be used to directly backup workloads running on-premises without the need for a local Cohesity cluster. Cohesity can back up virtual machines running on VMware and Hyper-V, physical servers, databases, and storage devices.

Backup Data Directly to the Azure Cloud
The most remarkable thing about this new solution is not really the elimination of an on-premises Cohesity cluster, but rather the cross platform support that Cohesity provides. This new solution makes it possible to back up a VMware virtual machine that is running on premises, and then run the VM in the Azure cloud, even though Azure is based on a completely different hypervisor. This means that customers can run their VMs in the cloud either for test/dev or for disaster recovery purposes, regardless of which hypervisor the VM was originally running on. That is the true power of this new solution. With this new solution Cohesity is furthering its vision for a hybrid cloud data fabric that supports multiple use cases across backup, archival, disaster recovery and test/dev.
