Cohesity announces the expansion its data management as a service (DMaaS) offerings to customers in the Middle East.

DMaaS is a portfolio of Cohesity’s “software as a service” (SaaS) offerings, which designed to provide enterprise and mid-size customers with a simple way to back up, secure, govern, and analyze their data. Cohesity takes care of managing the underlying infrastructure while the service is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

“With the threat of ransomware at unprecedented levels, being able to rapidly backup and recover is now a growing concern for the region’s IT leaders. Customers can now leverage our backup as a service offering as another way to enhance data protection and keep bad actors at bay,” said Brad Schwarz, VP and GM – Data Management as a Service, Cohesity. “We are pleased to offer customers in the Middle East 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.”

Gregg Petersen, regional director, MEA, Cohesity, said, “not only does the expansion of our DMaaS-offerings to the Middle East empower customers to further simplify data management, but also gives our regional partners the opportunity to add their unique value and resell the solution through a variety distribution channels.”

An official release stated that customers can subscribe to current and future DMaaS offerings through authorized Cohesity channel partners, distributors, and in AWS Marketplace.
