Cohesity Kubernetes Backup and Recovery
Santa Clara, California, United States
What it is
Cohesity Kubernetes Backup and Recovery protects Kubernetes operational metadata and application persistent state. It uses policy-based, application-tier-specific incremental-forever backups, with scheduled frequency and custom retention options. Snapshots can be restored to alternate on-premises or public-cloud locations, including across clusters, and the product supports point-in-time, granular, and application-consistent recovery. Cohesity recommends protecting both the Kubernetes control plane and the application data running in the cluster. Native Kubernetes integration works with container-clustering and orchestration tools. Supported environments include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, on-premises infrastructure, and Cohesity-powered service-provider clouds. Zero-cost clones can make backup data available for development without performance impact. Helios uses segregated tenants, dedicated repositories, and Zero Trust access controls. Cohesity states that Helios encrypts data with TLS 1.2 and mTLS in transit and AES-256 at rest. Pricing is on request; a 30-day trial is listed as free.
