Cohesity SiteContinuity
Cohesity lists its headquarters at 2625 Augustine Dr, Santa Clara, CA 95054.
What it is
Cohesity SiteContinuity provides disaster recovery for mission-critical workloads, with orchestration for failover and failback. Recovery can cover a file, a business application, or a full data center. A DR plan builder works alongside continuous data protection, asynchronous replication, non-disruptive testing, and restore options. Organizations can deploy physical or virtual clusters at primary and recovery sites, or use Cohesity-managed disaster recovery that can fail over to a customer’s AWS account. The listed customer-managed targets include VMware Standard and above at versions 6.5 and 6.7, plus Cohesity NAS Views; the managed service lists VMware VMs. Automation options include a RESTful API, PowerShell, and Python SDK. The datasheet lists AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest for both deployment options, and ML-based anomaly detection for customer-managed deployment. Pricing is available on request, and a 30-day trial is listed. Cohesity states that technical support is available around the clock, with a one-hour initial response target for P1 errors.
