Cohesity, a pioneer in AI-powered data security, now supports the Haute-Garonne Departmental Council with Cohesity DataProtect. This allows the organisation to drastically reduce the time and resources needed to manage its backups, both on-premises and in the cloud and significantly accelerate the data recovery processes to enhance its cyber resilience.
The Haute-Garonne Departmental Council manages a vast collection of data covering different functions, including building plans, architectural services, departmental archives, social assistance requests, and even transport cards. This diversity of formats and data silos made recovery a long process that required many internal resources.
Cohesity DataProtect
Cohesity allowed the Departmental Council to harmonise all its data into a simple-to-use, high-performance key
To resolve any incident, “You had to be an expert in backup administration,” explains Jean-Xavier Mauruc, database systems administrator at the Haute-Garonne Departmental Council.
The migration to Cohesity has allowed the Departmental Council to harmonise all their data into a simple-to-use, high-performance solution. Cohesity DataProtect helped to streamline the Departmental Council's backup operations by reducing the number of backup jobs from 150 to around 15. This reduction enabled the Departmental Council to significantly reduce time spent on administrative tasks, from two to three hours per day to just a few minutes, saving it up to 15 working hours per week.
Advanced security threats
The Departmental Council was also looking for a robust and resilient solution to deal with cyber threats, including the fight against ransomware, while maintaining their existing production infrastructure.
The solution had to be easy to use to manage various daily tasks, from integration to corrective and operational maintenance. For Jean-Xavier Mauruc, “DataProtect from Cohesity offers native security improvements. Being a solution specifically designed with advanced security threats in mind, it provides inherent protection against ransomware. Cohesity stood out as an optimal choice.”
Cohesity and DataProtect cloud services
Beyond the administrative team, the simplified processes and interface of Cohesity and DataProtect cloud services have allowed employees to manage recoveries themselves without additional training, saving both time and money. The adaptation took place very quickly, and the Departmental Council is now well-equipped to protect its various institutional data while continuing to safely promote economic and social progress for the inhabitants of Haute-Garonne.
In this territory of more than a million inhabitants, Olivier Savornin, group vice president of EMEA at Cohesity, said, “We are proud to support the Departmental Council in its efforts to secure and manage data, vital for the region's sustainable development.”
