help Cohesity FortKnox FAQ
What is the difference between Cohesity FortKnox and Cohesity DataProtect?
Cohesity DataProtect is the primary backup software running on your Cohesity cluster for day-to-day data protection, while FortKnox is a cloud-hosted Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) solution that provides an isolated, immutable copy of your backups. FortKnox is designed as a secondary air-gapped vault to protect against ransomware that may compromise your primary backup infrastructure.
How does Cohesity FortKnox protect backups from ransomware encryption?
Cohesity FortKnox stores backup data in an isolated cloud environment with immutable snapshots that cannot be modified or deleted, even by administrators with elevated credentials, for a configured retention period. This means that even if your primary Cohesity cluster is ransomware-infected, the FortKnox copies remain intact and recoverable.
Is Cohesity FortKnox deployed on-premises or in the cloud?
Cohesity FortKnox is delivered as a cloud-hosted service managed by Cohesity, with data stored in cloud infrastructure such as AWS. Your on-premises or cloud-based Cohesity cluster replicates data to the FortKnox vault over a secure network connection.
What RPO and RTO can I expect with Cohesity FortKnox for disaster recovery?
Cohesity FortKnox supports frequent replication intervals, enabling recovery point objectives (RPO) that can approach minutes depending on your data change rate and network bandwidth. Recovery time objectives (RTO) depend on the volume of data being restored and available network throughput between the cloud vault and your recovery site.
