Google Cloud data security and management

Common data management and data protection use cases for Google Cloud, particularly when using the Cohesity Data Cloud, include:

• Backup and Recovery of Workloads:  
  • Databases: Streamline backup and rapid recovery of various databases including SQL, Oracle, and SAP HANA to help ensure business continuity and data integrity.
  • VMs in Compute Engine and Google Cloud VMware Engine: Protect virtual machines by facilitating regular backups with quick recovery in case of data loss or corruption.
• Long-Term Retention and Archiving: Store data securely for extended periods in a cost-effective way to comply with regulatory requirements and facilitate historical data analysis, while still allowing for data retrieval when necessary.
• File Services: Store, protect, and access files securely with rapid recovery in the event of an outage or data loss.
• Threat Intelligence: Stay ahead of cyber threats, minimize downtime, and maintain business continuity with confidence.
• Comprehensive Incident Response: Expedite the containment, investigation, and mitigation of an attack, and recover clean copy of data with confidence
• Gain new data insights: Enable AI-powered data analysis, discovery, and management across hybrid cloud workloads.  

Choosing Cohesity for these use cases simplifies data management and enhances data protection capabilities in Google Cloud environments.

Using cloud storage classes, like Standard, Nearline, and Coldline, lets you archive your data for long-term retention with storage that best meets your retention and budget needs.  Google storage classes offer many benefits for managing and protecting your enterprise data, including:
