Case Study: Beckman Coulter achieves unified, ransomware-protected backups and faster restores with Cohesity DataProtect Backup as a Service

Beckman Coulter Secures Data Management with Cohesity Backup as a Service

Beckman Coulter, a global manufacturer of diagnostic equipment, needed to simplify and secure its backup and recovery across many sites. Multiple legacy solutions made monitoring and meeting SLAs costly and complex, left the company vulnerable to ransomware, and conflicted with its cloud‑first goal to move smaller locations to a SaaS model and reduce on‑prem infrastructure.

Beckman Coulter standardized on Cohesity DataProtect for its nine major datacenters and adopted Cohesity Backup as a Service on AWS for smaller sites, gaining a single management dashboard, immutable backups, automated cloud archiving, and non‑disruptive upgrades. The deployment now protects 330 TB across 11 locations, enables fulfillment of most restore requests (85% in Phoenix) within 24 hours, reduces the need for location‑specific specialists, and strengthens ransomware protection and long‑term retention compliance.
