Cohesity announced an expanded collaboration with Red Hat, to provide enhanced support for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation, now available on the Cohesity Data Cloud. With this integration, customers can more easily secure and protect data from virtual machines and containers in their Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation environments with Cohesity DataProtect and NetBackup. The enhancements help simplify users’ backup and recovery operations, enabling more robust data protection and better resilience from cyberattacks like ransomware and other disruptions.
Cohesity DataProtect and NetBackup customers can now protect and secure even more critical workloads, dramatically increasing their efficiency and scale while simplifying data management. Backup and recovery operations for Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation-based virtual machines, along with containers, can be managed using the same workflows as existing data sources on the Cohesity Data Cloud.
The Cohesity platform, running on Red Hat OpenShift and designed with zero-trust principles, offers robust security features, including immutability, strict access controls, and clean room technology, delivering one of the most comprehensive data resilience platforms against sophisticated cyber attacks. Combining simplicity and streamlined operations with industry-leading cyber resilience capabilities, Cohesity provides exceptional value to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation customers. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation is a feature of Red Hat OpenShift, including Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation Engine, which focuses primarily on providing functionality for virtual machines and virtualisation use cases.
Today’s announcement is an extension of the long-standing collaboration between Cohesity and Red Hat, which includes Cohesity adopting Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the foundational operating system for the Cohesity Data Cloud. Through a shared commitment to supporting customers in safeguarding their data, Red Hat and Cohesity will continue to deliver comprehensive data resilience and management features that support future workloads and advancements to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualisation.
