Rackspace Technology has announced a strategic partnership with Cohesity to deliver multi-cloud managed backup and recovery solutions for Rackspace Technology customers globally.
Under the partnership, Rackspace Technology will offer customers Rackspace data protection, a software-defined Cohesity-powered backup and recovery service that delivers cyber resilient managed backup and recovery across VMware-based clouds.
Cohesity DataProtect is the foundation of the Rackspace Data Protection solution, which includes backup and recovery for VMware workloads and options such as advisory services and ransomware anomaly detection and remediation services. Rackspace Technology customers leveraging Rackspace Data Protection can gain access to several critical next-gen data management and protection advantages and efficiencies including simplified data protection and backup, ransomware remediation and rapid recovery among others.
“The partnership with Cohesity gives our customers access to a proven, robust data protection solution that eliminates legacy backup silos and provides comprehensive protection against the array of rising data threats they are facing, including ransomware,” said Josh Prewitt, chief product officer at Rackspace Technology.
“Customers can now manage and control data recovery from a single source, more efficiently store data, and eliminate potentially costly disruptions.”
Rackspace Technology is providing VMware-based cloud services. Adding Cohesity’s data protection layer with integrated VMware Cloud Director (vCD) will help unify the efforts of SecOps and ITOps to better combat cyber threats and empower customers with self-service management. The managed service helps assure Rackspace Technology customers that their data and workloads running on VMware infrastructure are more resilient than ever.
“We are excited to engage in this partnership as it really addresses customers’ number one concern today, developing cyber resilience so they can quickly defend and if needed, rapidly recover data in the event of a cyber-attack,” said John Theberge, vice president, global alliances, service providers and GSIs, Cohesity.
“Our next-gen data management capabilities, including DataProtect, give Rackspace Technology customers a simple and powerful solution that can enhance their security posture, advance protection, and improve their business resiliency.”
