"Cohesity-Cisco is a ‘set it and forget it’ data protection solution. It frees up IT staff for strategic initiatives. Cohesity on Cisco UCS radically accelerates recovery and simplifies management, enabling round-the-clock operations for our resort, casino, and tribal operations."

Michael Grillo, Principal Engineer, Foxwoods Resort Casino

At a Glance

By moving from its virtual tape-based solution to Cohesity, Foxwoods Resort Casino dramatically improved data security and business continuity. The cyber resilient Cohesity-Cisco solution boosted confidence in countering ransomware attacks.

Challenge

Foxwoods needed a next-gen data management solution to keep pace with rapid growth, address rising IT costs, ensure faster data recovery, and defend against ransomware.

Solution

Foxwoods evaluated several vendors’ backup and recovery solutions, including Cohesity, Veeam, and Rubrik. A modern, unified solution from Cohesity and Cisco could keep pace with data growth and provide tremendous gains in efficiency.

Result

The Cohesity and Cisco solution ensures a stellar end-user experience for all resort and casino visitors. System management time was reduced by 91%, and data retention periods were doubled or even quadrupled for the tribal center’s critical data.
