Case Study: Tift County Schools achieves faster, resilient data recovery with Cohesity

When previous data security solution gets an “F”, Tift County Schools switches to Cohesity

Tift County Schools, a K-12 public school system in rural Georgia, needed a more reliable way to protect HR, finance, and payroll data after its previous backup system failed to restore data during a server incident. Concerned about ransomware and disaster recovery, the district turned to Cohesity and Cohesity Data Cloud, including Cohesity FortKnox for offsite cloud protection.

Cohesity implemented immutable backups with dual approval controls and a simple deployment that the IT team managed on its own. The solution quickly proved effective when a critical financial server failed and was restored from Cohesity in just one business day, saving the cost of a new server and helping the district meet its recovery goals for payroll systems.
