Automate with VMware vRealize
Simplify VM protection with policy-based automation with Cohesity DataProtect and VMware vRealize. Using vRealize blueprints and service catalogs, perform backup as a service, manage complete VM lifecycles, and more.
Blueprint protection
With Cohesity APIs and VMware vRealize Orchestrator, blueprints are presented with a list of Cohesity Protection Jobs.
Job movement
Easily move VMs across protection jobs. With vRealize Orchestrator integration, see the list of available backup jobs.
Retention policy compliance
Destroy VMs when they’re no longer needed. Complete a VM lifecycle by removing the VM from vCenter and the Cohesity job.
Automation with ServiceNow
Protect VMs with policy-based automation using ServiceNow for the centralized management of service requests, tickets, and approvals.
Request management
Create tickets for each action and send service requests for approvals. Manage VM lifecycle while allowing users to initiate and manage their requests.
Self-service management
Users can manage their configurations, incidents, and make changes on demand to their backup schedule and SLA, reducing incident overhead.
Dashboards
Provide a dashboard and self-service catalog for self-provisioning, cloning a VM for dev/test, and seeing resource utilization.
Cohesity’s intelligent data platform simplifies our VM backups and replication. By consolidating our entire backup environment into a single system, we now have one simple and powerful, policy-driven interface to manage end-to-end data protection for our extensive virtual infrastructure. Furthermore, with Cohesity CloudArchive we can now easily and safely leverage public cloud services for the long-term retention of our critical corporate data.
