Case Study: Propak Corporation achieves simplified backup and recovery and $50K disaster recovery savings with Cohesity

Propak Corporation Chooses Cohesity for Simplified Backup and Recovery

Propak Corporation, a 20‑year supply chain and logistics provider with ~1,800 employees across 70+ locations, was struggling with unreliable secondary storage and backups as cloud data grew tenfold. A recent replacement storage solution repeatedly failed (an upgrade even caused two weeks of missed backups), and the IT team wanted a cost‑effective, single‑pane backup and recovery platform with strong search and fast recovery for dozens of proprietary applications and servers.

Propak evaluated Cohesity and Rubrik and deployed Cohesity C2300 nodes with DataProtect, integrating with their Cisco/VMware environment. The hyperconverged solution simplified management and disaster recovery, enabled mounting NFS volumes to VMware, improved replication and alerting (backups now complete and verify in minutes), delivered 5.28x deduplication for their data types, and avoided a SAN replacement—saving more than $50K in CapEx.
