New self-managed deployment option for Cohesity FortKnox

Not every organization can turn to the cloud for cyber resilience. Regulatory restrictions, data sovereignty requirements, or business choice often keep critical data firmly on premises. Until now, that meant relying on outdated tape vaults or building costly, complex in-house solutions.

It’s time for a better way

During our Catalyst 1 event, we introduced a new self-managed deployment option for Cohesity FortKnox, our cyber vaulting solution. This new on-prem deployment option is designed for organizations that can’t use SaaS deployment models due to regulatory restrictions or internal security policies. Optimized for fast data recovery, this self-managed offering allows these customers to keep an isolated, immutable copy of their data within their own on-prem infrastructure. This helps to minimize downtime and better protect against cyber threats or primary site failures while maintaining complete control and compliance over vaulted data.

Why cyber vaulting matters

We all know that ransomware and cyberattacks are targeting backups just as aggressively as production systems. If both are compromised, recovery can grind to a halt, leaving businesses with no way forward. 

Enterprises require solutions that ensure data isolation and provide fast, confident recovery to meet demanding SLAs. The self-managed FortKnox deployment provides organizations in highly regulated industries, like government, financial services, and healthcare, with all the benefits of cyber vaulting while ensuring complete control over data residency, compliance, and security posture.  

Built for organizations that demand control 

For government, defense, and regulated industries, cloud services are often off-limits. FortKnox delivers modern cyber resilience entirely within your own four walls.

That means:

• Full control over your cyber vault environment.
• You can ensure compliance with regulatory and sovereignty requirements.
• Reduced dependency on external providers or third parties.

Alta Recovery Vault joins the FortKnox family

As part of our commitment to providing top-notch data protection and cyber resilience, Alta Recovery Vault is now part of the FortKnox cyber vaulting family. This means that FortKnox is now available as a convenient service for DataProtect and NetBackup users. Additionally, FortKnox now supports Google Cloud for those NetBackup customers who choose the hosted option. 

By continuing to expand solutions like FortKnox to support more deployment models and platforms, we’re helping to meet the unique needs of enterprises of all sizes and industries. While these updates aren't the massive technological breakthroughs we’ve announced over the past few months, they definitely help make it easier for our customers to enjoy the security and peace of mind they deserve, all under the trusted name of FortKnox.

FortKnox combines robust security features with intuitive operation, making data protection straightforward.

Plus, it offers organizations detailed recovery options so that you can restore your data to its original place or to another location, all through a simple, single user interface.

With our new self-managed deployment option, you don’t have to choose between compliance and cyber resilience. You can protect your most valuable data, meet stringent requirements, and recover with confidence on your own terms.
