Archive Your Data Directly with Cohesity CloudArchive Direct
Cohesity CloudArchive Direct is a cost-effective, policy-driven archival solution designed to address the exponential growth of data by streaming it directly from NAS and VMware environments to lower-cost cloud storage without retaining full data copies locally. Instead, only metadata and indexes are stored on the local Cohesity cluster, enabling fast search and granular recovery while significantly reducing on-premises storage footprint and total cost of ownership (TCO). The solution supports incremental, block-level archival, compression, deduplication, and AES-256 encryption for secure, efficient cloud storage. CloudArchive Direct integrates with major cloud providers like AWS and offers distributed, parallel uploads for faster archival.
