Cohesity, a leader in next-gen data management, recently announced it is expanding the availability of its Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) offerings to customers in Singapore and Southeast Asia.
DMaaS is a portfolio of ‘software as a service’ (SaaS) offerings designed to provide enterprise and mid-size customers with a radically simple way to back up, secure, govern, and analyze their data. Cohesity takes care of managing the underlying DMaaS infrastructure, hosting the offerings on Amazon Web Services (AWS) – in this case, in the Asia Pacific (Singapore) Region.
Customers in Singapore and Southeast Asia can now access two DMaaS offerings from Cohesity:
- BaaS: Cohesity DataProtect delivered as a Service is a backup as a service (BaaS) offering that gives customers another easy way to back up their data on-premises or in cloud environments. As with the Cohesity DataProtect on-premises solution, the BaaS offering delivers support for an array of cloud workloads including Microsoft 365 SaaS applications, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and compute infrastructure, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), and on-premises data sources such as virtual machines (VMs), Network Attached Storage (NAS), and databases.
- Cohesity FortKnox: Cohesity FortKnox is a SaaS data isolation and recovery solution that can play a critical role in helping organizations minimise the impact of cyber attacks such as ransomware. This offering is designed to help customers improve cyber resiliency by providing an isolated and immutable copy of data in a Cohesity-managed cloud vault. If necessary, organizations can utilize this copy to recover confidently from attacks. Powering a modern “3-2-1” option fit for the cloud era, Cohesity FortKnox is designed to deliver off-site protection while dramatically simplifying operations and lowering costs compared to magnetic-tape and self-managed data vaults. With Cohesity FortKnox, organisations can simply connect, vault, and recover, while also meeting stringent recovery service level agreements (SLAs) and regulatory requirements.
Other DMaaS offerings will follow in the future. As with Cohesity’s on-premises solutions, DMaaS offerings can be easily managed through one user interface via the Cohesity Helios multicloud platform. This next-gen approach to data management helps customers consolidate many of the separate services, products, and administrative consoles that organizations often struggle to manage today. This consolidation can further enhance data security by helping companies reduce their attack surface. Customers can also utilize DMaaS to shift expenses from CapEx to OpEx.

With the constant threat of ransomware, being able to rapidly backup and recover, and embrace modern data isolation capabilities in the cloud is important to many of the region’s IT leaders. Customers can now leverage our Data Management as a Service offerings as another way to enhance data protection, keep bad actors at bay, and lower business risks. We are pleased to offer customers in Singapore and Southeast Asia even greater choice and flexibility. With Cohesity, they can manage their data directly, utilize Cohesity’s DMaaS offerings, work with a Cohesity-powered partner, or a combination of all three.
