Annual spending on cloud infrastructure services rose by 48% in 2018, and as organizations bring more enterprise production workloads to the cloud, they expect data protection and backup that matches the ease-of-use associated with public cloud services like Google Cloud. Now, with simple clicks, enterprises can sign up for the company’s Cloud Backup Service to backup and recover their production workloads. The integration with GCP empowers enterprises to simplify management and hit SLAs.

“With organizations looking to leverage the cloud and eliminate the need to provision infrastructure, backup of cloud-native workloads is a critical part of the data protection strategy,” said Rich Sanzi, VP, engineering, Google Cloud. “Integrations with technology partners like Cohesity provide a simple and easy Backup-as-a-Service experience with Google Cloud, empowering customers to focus on what matters most – growing their business.“

Cohesity Cloud Backup Service for Google Cloud offers capabilities and benefits
for enterprises to meet business and regulatory backup compliance requirements:

• Enterprise-grade backup and protection for public cloud workloads: Cohesity snapshot integration with GCP provides native backup of Google Compute VMs, with granular search and recovery. The firm’s Cloud Backup Service delivers near-zero RTOs to any point in time, and reduces RPOs to a few minutes, empowering customers to meet the same stringent RPO/RTO requirements expected of on-premises offerings.

• Management ease and simplicity: The company’s Cloud Backup Service offers a single SaaS-based dashboard for all management tasks, and provides self-service capabilities based on user roles. The service is natively integrated with GCP’s Identity and Access Management (IAM), helping to ensure users only have access to the resources specific for their job or task. The firm further reduces complexities through one-click deployment and reusable policies that eliminate the need for manual processes or custom scripts to automate backup scheduling, enforce retention policies, and consolidate backup activity.

• Consumption-based billing: This Cloud Backup Service offers consumption-based pricing that is integrated with GCP billing and available through the GCP Marketplace. Pay-as-you-go monthly charges enable customers to minimize capital expenditures and administrative complexity.

“Cohesity has quickly become a preferred choice for customers to backup their cloud and on-premises workloads, and we want to make it easy for enterprises to leverage our innovative and efficient platform no matter where their data resides,” said Vineet Abraham, SVP, engineering, Cohesity. “We’re excited to add to the powerful capabilities of GCP so that companies can overcome mass fragmentation challenges and truly maximize the value of their data.“

“Growing adoption of Google Cloud Platform among enterprises is enabling service providers to expand their offerings with a wide array of managed and self-service options,” said Al Sadowski, research VP, voice service provider, 451 Research. “Today’s announcement gives service providers the opportunity to build asset-light managed services for data protection on top of Cohesity Cloud Backup Service for Google Cloud.“
