Cohesity DataProtect is an enterprise backup and recovery product designed for hybrid environments (on‑premises, public cloud, and SaaS). The vendor describes the product as consolidating data protection operations (backup, recovery, disaster recovery workflows, and cyber-resilience features such as immutability and ransomware detection) within a common platform and management interface. The vendor describes the product's objectives as "protect, detect, and recover," and highlights capabilities such as reduced restore times, a scale-out architecture, and operational simplification.
Cohesity also offers DataProtect delivered as a service (BaaS) aimed at shifting costs toward an OpEx model and providing a SaaS control plane or a vendor-hosted experience.
Vendor-stated capabilities (examples): unified management, immutable snapshots, CDP/near-instant recovery for some workloads, ransomware detection, vulnerability scanning, API-first extensibility, and support across on‑prem, cloud, and SaaS workloads.
