Cohesity deepens MongoDB integration to support high-resilience workloads

Cohesity’s MongoDB integration, available in DataProtect, strengthens enterprise data protection strategies by meeting the demands of high-performance, large-scale environments in regulated sectors like finance, enabling secure and efficient management of critical MongoDB workloads

Cohesity has announced a deeper integration with MongoDB, introducing advanced backup and recovery capabilities for enterprise users. The company is among the first data protection vendors to support MongoDB workloads via the MongoDB Third Party Backup Ops Manager API.

The integration, now available through Cohesity DataProtect, is designed to address the performance, control, and resilience needs of large-scale, business-critical environments. It is aimed particularly at sectors with stringent data protection requirements, including global banking, financial services, and Fortune 500 enterprises. Cohesity says the enhanced support will enable organizations to more effectively manage and protect growing MongoDB deployments as part of their broader data security and recovery strategy.

"With ransomware attacks now commonplace, cyber resilience is a strategic priority for all organizations. This is particularly true of large enterprises, which have a very low tolerance for risk,” said Vasu Murthy, senior vice president and chief product officer, Cohesity. “Downtime for any reason can mean millions of dollars and massive reputational damage. As trusted providers for many of the world’s largest companies, Cohesity and MongoDB are working together to strengthen our customers’ ability to bounce back fast.”

Cohesity research finds organisations overestimate their cyber resilience capabilities and maturity—often overlooking deficiencies in data recovery speed and capabilities. In fact, only 2% of respondents in a global survey said they could recover data and restore business processes within 24 hours if a cyberattack occurred. The performance and control capabilities enabled through Cohesity's deepened integration with MongoDB supports customers in meeting stringent recovery point and recovery time objectives.

Advanced capabilities include:

·       Greater speed – parallel data streams enable billions of objects to be processed instantaneously. At the same time, Cohesity’s intelligent backups can get customers’ MongoDB databases back online 4X faster than traditional methods.

·       Robust scalability – a scale-out architecture provides petabyte-sized support on a single platform. Customers can reduce their data footprint with global, variable-length deduplication and compression.

·       Enhanced security – immutable write once, read many (WORM) storage, data encryption in flight and at rest, continuous data protection, secure SSL authentication, and a multi-layer defense posture based on Zero Trust security principles offer additional security enhancements.

“As the leading document database for modern applications, MongoDB empowers organizations to build, scale, and innovate faster,” said Benjamin Cefalo, senior vice president of product management, MongoDB. “Our collaboration with Cohesity reinforces that mission by helping customers protect their data with robust, enterprise-grade resilience—without compromising the agility and performance developers expect from our platform.”

“Cohesity continues to broaden and enhance its support for enterprise workloads, including those with critical customer datasets at petabyte scale,” said Juan Orlandini, chief technology officer for North America, Insight. “The deepened integration with MongoDB addresses the most pressing data security concerns for large enterprises and financial organizations by delivering the speed, scalability, and security they require.”

“With cyberattacks growing in frequency and sophistication, enterprises across India and SAARC are under increasing pressure to strengthen their cyber resilience,” said Mayank Mishra, regional sales director for India & SAARC, Cohesity. “Our deepened integration with MongoDB empowers organisations to accelerate recovery and safeguard mission-critical workloads at scale to ensure business continuity.”
