SOLUTION BRIEF

Cohesity andMicrosoft Azure

Protect Azure, Azure Stack, and Azure VMware
Solution data and extend backup, cyber vaulting,archival, and disaster recovery to hybrid cloud

Key Benefits• Manage data on Azure andhybrid cloud efficiently• Consolidate backup, DR,
dev/test, cyber vaulting, files,
and analytics on a single
platform• Backup and protect Azure,
Azure Stack, and Azure
VMware Solution• Runs on and natively
integrates with Azure• Eliminate tape and reduce
long-term retention andstorage costs

Enterprises are struggling to take control of their data in a hybrid cloud world. Data silos areemerging in both the data center and the cloud to support backup, disaster recovery, files, dev/test,analytics, new cloud services, and remote locations. This only makes data management inefficient,complex, and leaves data sitting idle and vulnerable to cyberattacks.
Microsoft Azure and Cohesity give you a joint solution to take back control of your data over hybrid
cloud. Cohesity Data Cloud consolidates all data infrastructure onto one unified and efficient
multicloud data platform. Cohesity also extends on-premises data to Microsoft Azure to takeadvantage of the scalability and pay-as-you-go model of the cloud. The joint solution enables
customers to use Azure for data protection, long-term archival, cyber vaulting, dev/test, anddisaster recovery.

on-premises.

Snapshot backups can be stored on Cohesity to maximize data
reduction efficiency or they can be stored directly on Azure BLOB
storage and managed remotely from a Cohesity cluster.
Dev/Test on Azure: Quickly spin-up data copies and VMs fordevelopers on Azure VMs from on-premises sources. VM formats
are automatically converted to ensure compatibility.
Back up Azure Stack: Simple and efficient backup and recovery ofAzure Stack, Hub and Edge data and infrastructure on-premises.
Flexible backup options that deliver near-instant RPOs for AzureStack.
Back up Azure VMware Solution: Simplify backup and recovery
for Azure VMware solution and deliver a consistent data
management experience across your VMware hybrid cloud. UseAzure VMware Solution as a disaster recovery site and to eliminate
standby infrastructure.
Cohesity FortKnox on Azure: A SaaS data isolation and recovery
solution that improves cyber resiliency with an immutable copy ofdata in a Cohesity-managed cloud vault in Azure

CloudTier – Use cloud as an extension to Cohesity’s built-in storage
to tier the data between a Cohesity cluster and Azure cloud storage.
Enable capacity bursts to the cloud.
CloudSpin – Move and spin up on-premises VMs on Azure for dev/
dev or DR. Automatically, replicate, convert, and spin up VMs onAzure VMs on demand or using policy based scheduling.
Cloud Snapshot Manager – Lightweight backup and recoveryof Azure workloads using snapshot APIs and managed byCohesity running on-prem without the need for additional cloudinfrastructure.

Conclusion
Cohesity provides a single platform and UI that simplifies dataprotection and data management on Azure and hybrid cloud. Itruns natively on Azure to protect cloud-native apps and when it’s
deployed on-premises it provides simple connectivity to Azure
to extend your data center to the cloud for long-term retention,
disaster recovery, test/dev, and tiering as well providing protection
for Azure Stack, and Azure VMware solution.
