Data will be backed up to Cohesity appliances and copied to cloud storage. This will be separate from the cluster that serves Managed Server and SFS. How will the Cohesity infrastructure be configured on campus?ĬIT will maintain a local Cohesity cluster for campus customers in the Computing and Communications Center (CCC) data center on campus. Cohesity has been the backup solution for both the Managed Server service and Shared File Services (SFS) for the last three years. Rather than having to restore OS, then apps, then data, Cohesity can restore the full image all at once.ĭoes Cornell IT have experience with Cohesity? Image-based restores: In contrast to Spectrum Protect, Cohesity supports image-based restores of hypervisors which can provide much faster recovery of VMs. For example, in the Managed Server service, snapshots are completed each day and retained for 90 days, so there are 90 versions of the backup available. Point-in-time backups: Unlike Spectrum Protect, Cohesity’s backups are point-in-time based snapshots stored for a configurable time period.
This action requires additional firewall rules to establish appropriate networking. Pull, not push: Unlike Spectrum Protect which has locally-installed agents that push data to the backup infrastructure, Cohesity works in the opposite way-all your backup jobs are managed from a central console and the system pulls data from servers to the Cohesity infrastructure. What are the central differences between Spectrum Protect and Cohesity? It is still under development, and details are expected by summer 2023. This issue has been identified as a project requirement and will be part of the delivered solution. How will you handle data that requires long-term retention, but has been removed from local storage? This service will utilize the Cohesity platform for backups.Ī Device Backup service based on CrashPlan (formerly Code42) for endpoint devices like desktops and laptops that are not eligible for Certified Desktop. Two new services will be rolled out in its place to provide backup capabilities:Ī Server Backup service appropriate for servers and devices that have static IP addresses.

The existing EZ-Backup service, based on IBM's Spectrum Protect product, is being phased out and retired in December 2023. The EZ-Backup Modernization Project is moving forward with a focus on customer support to help expedite the migration process.
