Cohesity & MongoDB expand integration for enterprise data resilience
The deepened integration allows Cohesity customers to utilise the MongoDB Third Party Backup Ops Manager API, offering new controls and capabilities tailored to scenarios involving extensive datasets and stringent resilience requirements. This is particularly targeted at sectors such as financial services and the global banking industry, alongside Fortune 500 organisations, that demand minimal downtime and heightened security.
According to Cohesity, this functionality is now available for users of its DataProtect solution. By leveraging the new API-based integration, the company states that enterprises can better address data recovery speed and backup process efficiencies.
Cyber resilience focus
Vasu Murthy, Senior Vice President and Chief Product Officer at Cohesity, commented on the growing challenges faced by large organisations due to the increasing threat of ransomware attacks and the related business risks. "With ransomware attacks now commonplace, cyber resilience is a strategic priority for all organisations. This is particularly true of large enterprises, which have a very low tolerance for risk," said Vasu Murthy. "Downtime for any reason can mean millions of dollars and massive reputational damage. As trusted providers for many of the world's largest companies, Cohesity and MongoDB are working together to strengthen our customers' ability to bounce back fast."
This expanded partnership between Cohesity and MongoDB aims to address the growing need for robust, enterprise-grade data protection. Paul Henaghan, Managing Director, Cohesity, Australia and New Zealand, highlighted the benefits for institutions across the region in the context of the evolving cyber threat environment. "In today's cyber threat landscape, organisations across Australia and New Zealand require data resilience that goes beyond basic backup, especially among large enterprises with complex technology environments and systems. Our expanded integration with MongoDB gives customers the enterprise-grade speed, scale and security needed to confidently protect and recover their most vital workloads. This is a powerful step forward in helping ANZ businesses reduce downtime risk and maintain trust in the face of escalating cyber threats," said Paul Henaghan.
Industry research and capabilities
Cohesity's own research indicates a gap between organisations' perceived and actual cyber resilience. Only a small fraction—2%—of participants in a global survey reported being able to recover data and restore business processes within 24 hours following a cyberattack. The company suggests that the new MongoDB integration helps close this gap for customers seeking to meet rigorous recovery point and time objectives.
Some of the advanced features introduced through this integration include improved speed, as parallel data streams allow for the simultaneous processing of billions of objects. Cohesity states that intelligent backups can bring MongoDB databases online four times faster than traditional approaches. The system also boasts a scale-out architecture capable of accommodating petabyte-sized workloads on a single platform, introducing efficiencies such as global, variable-length deduplication and compression to reduce data footprint.
Additional security measures include support for immutable write once, read many (WORM) storage, end-to-end data encryption, continuous data protection, and secure SSL authentication—all underpinned by Zero Trust principles and a multi-layered defence model.
Collaborative efforts
Representatives from MongoDB and its partners echoed the significance of the collaboration. Benjamin Cefalo, Senior Vice President of Product Management at MongoDB, highlighted the broader mission of supporting performance and agility without sacrificing enterprise resilience. "As the leading document database for modern applications, MongoDB empowers organisations to build, scale, and innovate faster," said Benjamin Cefalo. "Our collaboration with Cohesity reinforces that mission by helping customers protect their data with robust, enterprise-grade resilience—without compromising the agility and performance developers expect from our platform."
Juan Orlandini, Chief Technology Officer for North America at Insight, commented on the immediate applicability of these improvements to large organisations operating with critical datasets. "Cohesity continues to broaden and enhance its support for enterprise workloads, including those with critical customer datasets at petabyte scale. The deepened integration with MongoDB addresses the most pressing data security concerns for large enterprises and financial organisations by delivering the speed, scalability, and security they require."
Market demand
The integration between Cohesity and MongoDB is geared towards organisations with large-scale, mission-critical database workloads that cannot afford significant interruptions. Cohesity cites ongoing demand among its global enterprise customer base, which includes over 85 of the Fortune 100 and nearly 70% of the Global 500, for enhanced backup and recovery processes.
