Case Study: Aller Media achieves 13% efficiency gains and reduced OpEx with Cohesity

Aller Media Selects Cohesity for Secondary Data Solution with Greater Efficiency

Aller Media, a Copenhagen‑based Nordic magazine publisher founded in 1873 with ~2,500 employees, faced a fragmented secondary data landscape as it moved workloads to the cloud. Multiple legacy backup systems required heavy manual maintenance, offered poor visibility, and strained a small, distributed IT team; the company needed to centralize on‑premises data, improve long‑term archiving and restores, and reduce operational overhead.

Aller Media selected Cohesity for its simple, scalable hyperconverged platform and quick onboarding. Installation took hours with no disruption, delivering a single unified backup and recovery solution that cut administration from days to hours, avoided hiring additional staff, and yielded an estimated 13% efficiency gain. The IT team is now better positioned for disaster recovery and plans to extend protection into the public cloud.
