Cohesity Alta Solution Overview

Situation and Overview

In the cloud-first era, data is growing exponentially. Last year alone, 74 zettabytes of data were generated worldwide, complicated by the fact that IDC reported that 80–90 percent of the world’s data is unstructured. The lift and shift strategy to move to the cloud has created a multitude of issues for IT departments and cloud architects/administrators—specifically the visibility, security, backup, and control of data across cloud environments. The backup and recovery tools offered by cloud service providers (CSPs) are not equal, and in some cases are not robust enough to handle the onslaught of cybercriminals, increasing natural disasters, human error, and unplanned cloud outages.

In a recent study conducted by Vanson Bourne¹, 99 percent of respondents’ organizations use cloud-provided security tools to some extent, yet 76 percent felt the current offerings from public cloud service providers fall short of their organizations’ security needs. Even more worrisome, 89 percent of respondents’ organizations have experienced a ransomware attack on the data held within cloud environments.

have experienced ransomware attacks on cloud storage.

There is a shared responsibility between cloud service providers and their customers around security and compliance. Simply put, CSPs are responsible for the resiliency of the cloud, but you—the customer—are accountable for resiliency in the cloud. That means your organization must take ownership of your data, security, and backup, along with workload architecture and failover management.

Cohesity delivers a comprehensive cloud data security and management platform built for any environment, helping organizations meet their responsibilities within the shared responsibility model and beyond. Cohesity enables greater business agility, lowers costs, and ensures data and applications remain protected, highly available, and compliant.

Unmatched Ransomware Resiliency

Cohesity protects data and reduces the attack surface with multiple layers of security, including system hardening, AI-based anomaly detection, malware scanning, and immutable backups. Cohesity provides flexible recovery options with intelligent orchestration and non-disruptive, cost-effective recovery rehearsals.

Gain complete visibility into where your data resides while simplifying operational complexity and optimizing costs with comprehensive insights across your data estate.

The cloud-native Cohesity platform combines automation, artificial intelligence, and flexible deployment options to deliver secure, autonomous, and cost-effective data protection across hybrid and multicloud environments.

Unified Management Across Your Data Estate

Cohesity provides a cloud-based management experience that enables organizations to manage data protection across on-premises and cloud environments from a single interface. Instead of managing multiple tools for different workloads, IT teams can protect data wherever it resides through one centralized platform.

Data Compliance and Governance

Cohesity helps organizations make informed decisions about their data by simplifying governance and compliance. Automated data classification, rapid search, and intelligent data insights help reduce risk, support legal and regulatory requirements, eliminate dark data, and optimize storage utilization.

Flexible deployment options—including on-premises, public cloud, hybrid, virtual, and SaaS environments—allow organizations to protect data wherever it lives.

Application Resiliency

Cohesity helps ensure business continuity across physical, virtual, containerized, and cloud-native applications. A unified platform enables organizations to protect critical workloads, simplify disaster recovery, and maintain application availability across hybrid and multicloud environments.

Application resiliency helps maintain performance, enables workload mobility, and minimizes planned and unplanned downtime for mission-critical services.
