Case Study
Emerge IT Solutions restored critical files in just three days with Cohesity DataProtect
Emerge IT Solutions, a full-service IT provider in the Midwest, deployed Cohesity-powered Backup as a Service. Less than a month later, a manufacturing customer using this service suffered a ransomware attack. While the customer’s cyber insurance provider anticipated a partial recovery time of two to three weeks, Emerge leveraged Cohesity DataProtect to restore most operations in just three days—without paying ransom. Given the downtime cost of $35,000 per hour, accelerating recovery by 11 to 18 days saved the customer approximately $12 million in potential lost revenue. Cohesity’s platform enabled rapid, reliable recovery through features like immutable backups, instant mass restore, and threat scanning, minimizing business disruption and financial impact.
