As a financial institution, we try to utilize technology to provide the best experience possible for our customers and users, and have strict enterprise data backup and recovery requirements. Cohesity is a cut above all other solutions we researched and they provided a scale-out solution for simplified disaster recovery and application availability. Where previous backup solutions took up to five days, Cohesity performed the same operation in just over a minute.

System Administrator, 1st Security Bank of Washington

At a Glance

With offices and branches throughout the state of Washington, 1st Security Bank provides loan and deposit services to a wide variety of customers, including small and middle-market businesses.

Challenge

With data growing exponentially, 1st Security needed a solution that would not require a forklift upgrade every few years, but could scale with the growing company and data requirements.

Solution

Cohesity was chosen to consolidate all secondary workloads and data services at web-scale. Cohesity’s integration with both VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V allowed instant recovery of applications by running the clones directly on the Cohesity platform.

Result

Cohesity has been instrumental in the midst of 700 percent growth in data over the last five years, and enabled 1st Security Bank to consolidate its storage while easily integrating within existing IT infrastructure.
