the problem
Backup repositories need to be fast and cheap at the same time.
Restores have to be quick, retention has to be affordable, and the same workflow has to span on-prem and cloud. Few storage tiers do all three.
- Restores need to be fast on the same tier that holds long retention.
- On-prem repository and cloud archive are typically two workflows.
- Repository tier must be immutable, not just the backup software.
- Capacity has to scale from terabytes to multiple petabytes.
the joint solution
Cohesity DataProtect on Scality, validated end to end.
ARTESCA serves Cohesity DataProtect as the on-prem S3 Object Lock target, in a Validated Design on Cohesity 7.2. RING handles the petabyte tier. The same S3 contract reaches the cloud archive path.
- Validated Cohesity DataProtect 7.2 design with ARTESCA.
- ARTESCA scales 20 TB → 8.5 PB across 1–6 nodes.
- RING for the petabyte+ tier; same S3 contract end-to-end.
- DataProtect and NetBackup write to the same Scality cluster.
joint solution benefits
What Cohesity on Scality delivers.
One backup target across the merged portfolio.
DataProtect and NetBackup customers consolidate onto the same Scality cluster. The Veritas acquisition doesn't trigger a storage re-architecture.
One operating model on-prem and in cloud.
Cohesity policy covers both on-prem ARTESCA and the cloud archive path. The storage layer stays invisible to operators.
Validated on the current Cohesity release.
DataProtect 7.2 specifically — the release that fixed GC issues earlier versions exposed. Joint engineering confirmed end-to-end.
External S3 Object Lock that just works.
Object Put Retention and Object Delete API calls validated between Cohesity 7.2 and ARTESCA.
