Suffolk County Council Cohesity Implementation Case Study

This case study documents the collaboration between Suffolk County Council (SCC) and Cohesity for a data management solution. The council, operating in southeastern England, faced challenges in performing complete backups within the required time frame, which raised concerns about data protection. The SCC IT team, led by Senior Engineer Mark Lewis, identified priorities to enhance their data backup and recovery capabilities. Cohesity's DataProtect was deployed across two sites to address these challenges, resulting in operational time savings of over 87% and a data recovery time decrease of over 80%. Moreover, SCC achieved significant annual cost savings of £80,000 and improved ransomware protection. The case study emphasizes how the Cohesity solution not only streamlined SCC's data management processes but also provided a foundation for future cloud migration and digital transformation efforts. Implementation was completed in four months, marking a significant improvement over previous solutions. SCC has expressed confidence in the capabilities of the Cohesity platform as they continue to evolve their IT infrastructure.
