Cohesity Data Cloud

Resilient by design. Intelligent by default. Efficient at scale.

Organizations today face three converging pressures when it comes to managing data: escalating cyber threats, stalled AI initiatives, and continued cost-optimization pressures. Cohesity Data Cloud addresses all three with a unified platform that streamlines operations, protects and secures all data, activates AI from that data, and reduces operational complexity for data protection across hybrid and multicloud environments.

Through a single, modern interface and built on a structured approach to cyber resilience, the Cohesity Data Cloud delivers 2x faster restores1 and orchestrated cyber recovery, enabling organizations to recover confidently from ransomware and destructive attacks.

Beyond recovery, Cohesity Data Cloud transforms protected, time-series unstructured data into governed, business-ready AI intelligence with no new infrastructure or ETL pipelines.

Strengthen cyber resilience

Fifty-four percent of organizations experienced a cyberattack in the past 12 months with backups as the primary target3. Even worse, seventy-six percent of organizations have experienced at least one material cyberattack in that has halted operations and triggered financial losses3. Downtime is costly, recovery is complex, and traditional disaster recovery strategies are no longer sufficient.

Based on proven methods and real-world experience, Cohesity has developed a comprehensive 5-step framework to improving cyber resilience. When underpinned by the capabilities of Cohesity Data Cloud, the 5-step framework ensures data is always recoverable and cyber readiness continuously improves.

The Challenge

Major outages can cost organizations hundreds of thousands of dollars per hour. Ransomware increasingly targets backup systems, recovery efforts can take weeks, and without clean recovery processes, reinfection risk remains high. Legacy disaster recovery approaches were not designed for today’s threat landscape.

Outcome for data protection & security teams 

Through the 5 Step framework, Cohesity Data Cloud enables comprehensive cyber resilience:

  1. Protect all data – Data nor identity systems cannot be recovered if they are not protected. The Cohesity Data Cloud protects 1000+ data sources including virtual machines, SaaS applications, databases, and NAS environments as well as Active Directory and EntraID across on-premises and multiple clouds.
  2. Ensure data is always recoverable – The Cohesity Data Cloud supports immutability, multifactor authentication, role-based access control, separation of duties, and cyber vaulting to ensure data is secure and always recoverable.
  3. Detect and investigate threats – The Cohesity Data Cloud provides AI-powered anomaly detection, hash-based threat scanning, and integration with Google Threat Intelligence to ensure latest IoCs are used to detect and isolate threats before they detonate.
  4. Practice application resilience – Developing and rehearsing a recovery process is could be the difference between a recovery that takes hours instead of days or weeks. The Cohesity Data Cloud provides intelligent orchestrated recovery to eliminate guesswork and clean room solutions to ensure quick and confident recoveries.
  5. Optimize data risk posture – Protection and recovery of sensitive data adds an additional layer of complexity to cyber resilience. The Cohesity Data Cloud integrates with DSPM solutions from Cyera and others to identify unprotected sensitive data, ensure its protected, and ensure compliance is maintained during recoveries.

Customer Impact

By aligning the 5-step framework with the capabilities of the Cohesity Data Cloud, organizations recover faster from ransomware and destructive attacks, reduce reinfection risk, improve RTO performance, and mature their overall cyber resilience posture–minimizing operational disruption and financial exposure.

Extract Measurable Value from Backup Data

Despite heavy investment, many AI projects stall for the same reason: teams can’t connect the right data to AI, especially unstructured data. There are 5 challenges with getting unstructured data into AI projects:

  1. Fragmentation: Unstructured data is scattered across cloud and on-premises repositories. Most AI projects live in the cloud making it difficult or impossible for tightly-governed orgs, for on-prem data to be included.
  2. Refresh: Keeping a large-scale repository of unstructured data up to date is hard. Gaps appear over time.
  3. Risk: Compliance, permissions, governance all get worse as data gets copied.
  4. History: Historical copies often don’t exist and capturing a consistent, auditable view across systems is difficult.
  5. Cost: Duplicating massive volumes of data drives storage, security, and operational costs through the roof.

As a component of the Cohesity Data Cloud, Cohesity Gaia activates the complete, time‑series history preserved in backups. Instead of building duplicate data lakes or deploying complex ETL pipelines, organizations securely leverage protected backup data as a source of additional knowledge to existing AI initiatives.

Cohesity Gaia transforms the safest copy of enterprise data into the smartest—delivering secure, governed access to historical unstructured information from day one.

How Cohesity Enables Data Activation

Gaia delivers secure, chat‑based access to institutional knowledge and governed API integration for analytics and AI platforms. With zero‑copy, ELT‑free activation and strict role‑based controls, organizations reuse protected data without adding infrastructure, increasing risk, or duplicating storage.

Customer Impact

Customers achieve faster AI time‑to‑value, higher‑quality insights through historical context, increased knowledge worker productivity, and measurable returns from existing data investments.


Streamline Operations and Optimize Costs

Fragmented protection tools, redundant data copies, siloed platforms, and disconnected management interfaces drive unnecessary cost and operational complexity. At the same time, ransomware recovery efforts and infrastructure sprawl increase unplanned expenses and administrative burden. Operational simplicity is essential to reducing both cost and risk at scale.

Cohesity Data Cloud converges protection, security, AI activation, and unified management into a modern, scale‑out architecture designed to simplify operations while reducing total cost of ownership.

The Challenge

Organizations often rely on separate tools for protecting cloud and on‑premises workloads, cyber recovery, and AI initiatives. Procurement processes are equally fragmented, extending evaluation cycles and complicating decision‑making. This operational sprawl increases operations and training costs, slows response times, creates visibility gaps, and expands exposure to cyber threats and regulatory risk.

How Cohesity Reduces Cost and Complexity

Powered by SpanFS and centrally managed through Helios, Cohesity Data Cloud delivers a single platform for efficient storage and management of protected data. SpanFS, the modern web scale file system that underpins Cohesity Data Cloud, uses advanced de-dupe technology and seamless scale-out functionality to store data efficiently and streamline storage management operations. Helios, a centralized management console, provides unified control and visibility across the entire data estate and includes Cohesity Copilot—an AI‑powered operational assistant that assists with troubleshooting, optimization, cyber recovery workflows, and reporting.

By eliminating siloed tools and unnecessary data movement, organizations reduce duplicate data lakes and modernize their secondary data architecture with up to 50% less storage compared to legacy scale‑up systems.

Flexible deployment options—on‑premises, self‑managed cloud, or Cohesity‑managed services—and simplified purchasing through Core, Enterprise, and Insights editions further accelerate modernization.

Customer Impact

Organizations reduce storage footprint and infrastructure spend, lower operational overhead through platform consolidation, simplify procurement and tool rationalization, and optimize total cost of ownership across hybrid and multicloud environments.
