Cloud has enabled agility and shifted costs to better match rapidly changing business environments.
However as cloud adoption accelerates and new sources of data are introduced, they often emerge
with limited operational oversight—which raises the potential of turning data into a liability rather
than an asset. As organizations try to adapt to these challenges, they frequently deploy disparate
point solutions to manage on-premises, cloud and edge environments separately, only driving up
cost and complexity.
Cohesity data management solutions are offered as Software as a Service (SaaS) and subscriptionbased (self-managed) software and help eliminate many of the above challenges by providing aconsistent data management experience with a single platform and UI across hybrid cloud. Whether
you need to protect your AWS cloud-native apps and data or need help migrating to the AWS cloud,Cohesity’s AWS solutions have got you covered.
