Cohesity Backup and Recovery Case Study for City of Hamilton

This case study details the implementation of Cohesity's backup and recovery solution by the City of Hamilton, a municipality in Ontario, Canada. The city faced challenges with its existing backup solution, which was unable to meet performance requirements and resulted in frequent backup failures. To address these issues, the IT team opted to deploy Cohesity DataProtect in conjunction with HPE infrastructure. The deployment aimed to simplify the backup process, improve performance, and enhance data management capabilities. Key benefits included a significant reduction in backup times, with incremental backups improved by 700%, and a notable decrease in required disk space due to effective deduplication. The city also achieved operational efficiencies, allowing IT staff to focus on other projects rather than troubleshooting backup issues. Additionally, the solution provided a flexible hybrid environment that integrates on-premises and cloud storage, ultimately leading to improved data management and compliance with local regulations.
