Cohesity Named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions

Company is Positioned as a Leader in Just its Second Time in the Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions Magic Quadrant

Cohesity announced that it has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions. The company is positioned as a Leader in just its second time in this Magic Quadrant. Gartner states that “Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow.”*

Gartner defines data center backup and recovery solutions as those “designed to capture a point-in-time copy (backup) of an enterprise workload and write the data out to a secondary storage device for the purpose of recovering this data in the future.”**

This announcement comes after Cohesity was recently recognized as a Customers’ Choice for large enterprises — organizations with $1 billion to $10 billion in annual revenue — in the Gartner Peer Insights ‘Voice of the Customer’ Report for Data Center Backup and Recovery Solutions (March 2020). That report, based on verified reviews from customers that have deployed the solutions, also recognized Cohesity as a Customers’ Choice for mid-size enterprises and for the North America and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) regions.

“We believe Gartner recognized Cohesity as a Leader because of our unique approach to modern data management that empowers organizations to easily back up and manage their data — in the data center, cloud, and edge — all from one easy-to-use platform,” said Lynn Lucas, chief marketing officer, Cohesity. “We continue to see rapid adoption of our data protection solutions globally. Our focus remains on expanding the breadth and depth of the Cohesity software-defined data management capabilities, helping our customers defend and recover against ransomware, meet stringent SLAs, and derive more value from their data.”

Cohesity has maintained its rapid pace of innovation, focused on building solutions that make backup simple to execute and easy to scale while empowering customers to do much more with their data. Key breakthroughs include:

• Rapid Ransomware Recovery: A comprehensive set of capabilities that directly combat ransomware and help organizations quickly recover from sophisticated attacks. This solution offers the broadest set of capabilities of any modern-day backup vendor with a multi-layered approach that protects backup from becoming a target, helps quickly detect a potential attack in progress on the primary IT infrastructure, and most importantly, helps reduce downtime and ensure business continuity with rapid recovery at scale.
• Protection of Modern Data Sources: Cohesity is the first and only modern backup and recovery solution to offer enterprise-class backup, recovery, and data management for most modern data sources, including all NoSQL distributed databases, Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), Kubernetes Namespace and data, and SaaS with Microsoft Office 365 Exchange Online and OneDrive, on a single web-scale platform.
• Cohesity ROBO Solution: Extends and enhances Cohesity’s enterprise-class capabilities for the enterprise edge, enabling organizations to seamlessly back up and manage data within remote office/branch office (ROBO) locations with a single software-defined platform — the same web-scale platform that many organizations use today to manage data across existing data center and cloud environments.
• Cohesity Helios Mobile App: Empowers IT teams to monitor the health and performance of their Cohesity infrastructure, easily manage support cases, and get alerts about anomalies, including potential ransomware attacks to their production environment, directly from their hand-held mobile devices while on the go.
