Spec score 8.4 #4 of 17 in Disaster Recovery Orchestration Software

What it is

Cohesity SiteContinuity coordinates disaster recovery for mission-critical workloads, with recovery options ranging from an individual file or business application to a full data center. Its plan builder supports automated failover and failback, continuous data protection, asynchronous replication, non-disruptive recovery testing and restore operations. Organizations can manage physical or virtual clusters at primary and recovery sites, or choose Cohesity-managed disaster recovery that fails over to the customer’s AWS account. Listed targets include VMware Standard or above, versions 6.5 and 6.7, and Cohesity NAS Views for customer-managed deployment; the managed service lists VMware VMs and Amazon EC2 as a target. Interfaces for automation include a RESTful API, PowerShell and Python SDK. The datasheet lists AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest for both options, and anomaly detection for customer-managed deployment. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial listed. Cohesity states that technical support is available around the clock, with a one-hour initial response target for P1 errors.
