In contrast, the BaaS service powered by Cohesity delivers more comprehensive protection for M365 data in Microsoft Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint Online+, and Teams++. These are just some of the Cohesity BaaS capabilities and benefits:

Fast, Flexible Protection and Recovery

Data is an organization’s most valuable and yet, vulnerable asset. Your customers are relying on you as their trusted business partner to help improve the management and protection of all of their data or simply to help find a file archived years ago.

BaaS, powered by Cohesity, has defense capabilities that can quickly protect against a large-scale data loss, and enable IT admins to rapidly restore mass volumes of data. Essentially, helping them recover data from any point in time—and fast.

  • Rapid Recovery at Scale – It’s a managed backup service that helps recover hundreds, even thousands, of M365 mailboxes or files in case of a data loss due to natural disaster, or human error.
  • Point-in-Time Recovery – Within M365, an IT admin can bring up a different version of a single document or presentation to quickly recover it.
  • Flexible Retention – IT admins can control how long they need to keep M365 data (for months or even years) and manage those policies.

Secure Backups

Beyond what M365 delivers, BaaS powered by Cohesity includes stringent security controls that give customers protection and confidence, thanks to data separation capabilities.

  • Immutable Snapshots – It’s BaaS that helps ensure there is no accidental or malicious altering, changing, or manipulating of data in backups.
  • Write Once, Read Many (WORM) – IT admins can use policies to put a time-bound lock on data so no one can modify or delete it, even security officers.
  • Data Encryption – For the highest protection, BaaS powered by Cohesity is FIPS 140-2 compliant, the U.S. government standard for cryptographic modules.
  • Separate Backup Data from Production – Keep customer backup data outside of the Microsoft cloud to achieve a form of off-site data separation. Help balance RTO/RPO requirements with security controls by storing backup data in the cloud or at another location. The backup data will be available during an M365 outage and be resistant to tampering because it’s stored in an immutable snapshot.

Additionally, the BaaS service powered by Cohesity helps simplify hybrid cloud operations and deliver SLAs that standard Microsoft 365 does not offer. BaaS powered by Cohesity natively supports backup for M365, other SaaS and cloud data sources as well as on-premises workloads such as VMware and databases.

It comes with consumption model flexibility too so customers can pay by number of users, matching backups to M365 plans, or consolidate backup data across a variety of sources and pay by capacity—on one bill.
