Case Study: Eurecat US achieves ransomware protection, unified cloud backups, and 92% faster restores with Cohesity DataProtect Delivered as a Service

Eurecat US Protects Backups Against Ransomware with Cohesity Backup as a Service

Eurecat US, a chemical‑manufacturing leader with two Houston offices and one in Oklahoma, had outgrown its legacy Quest backup solution: restores failed about half the time, M365 was backed up with a separate tool, and the Oklahoma site lacked local IT to manage on‑prem infrastructure. Executives also required stronger ransomware protection as the company moved more services to the cloud.

Eurecat adopted Cohesity DataProtect Delivered as a Service on AWS to unify on‑prem (Hyper‑V, VMware) and Microsoft 365 backups. The solution provides immutable backups (with DataLock and MFA), automated alerts, and broader M365 coverage (mailboxes and OneDrive), delivering 92% faster VM restores (from 1.5 days to under an hour) and 89% faster file restores (45 minutes to under 5 minutes), simplified operations, improved developer agility, and increased confidence against ransomware.
