Extremely reduces the effort in daily backup and restore tasks

The primary use case for the solution is VM backup/restore, physical server backup, and file restore. Also, clone VMs for test and dev environments and file sharing.

What is most valuable?

The absolutely top feature is the easy and fast backup and restore of VMs. It extremely reduces the effort in daily backup and restore tasks. Leading to no more effort for administration of a complex backed up and restored infrastructure.

Restore of a mission critical host with legacy backup solution: minimum one day.
Restore of a mission critical host with Cohesity: less than 1 hour.
