Cohesity’s Continuous Data Protection (CDP) for VMware delivers near-zero Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) for mission-critical virtual machines by capturing every I/O operation in real time. Leveraging VMware’s vSphere APIs for I/O filtering (VAIO), Cohesity intercepts and journals all changes between the VM and its storage, enabling reconstruction of fully hydrated VM copies at any point in time. This journal-based approach ensures minimal data loss and rapid recovery times (RTOs), significantly reducing downtime during disasters or ransomware events. CDP complements traditional snapshot-based backups by providing enterprise-class resiliency, operational simplicity, and high fault tolerance, allowing organizations to protect and recover VMware workloads with precision and efficiency.
