Case Study: SiteOne Landscape Supply achieves business continuity and rapid ransomware recovery with Cohesity

SiteOne Landscape Supply Counts on Cohesity for Business Continuity

SiteOne Landscape Supply, the largest U.S. wholesale distributor of landscape supplies with more than 550 locations, faced growing IT complexity after rapid acquisition-driven growth. Its legacy backup stack required tedious manual intervention, continual licensing and capacity upgrades, and left restores slow and risky — a vulnerability that was exposed when the company detected a ransomware attack.

After a proof of concept with Cohesity and partner Cumberland Group, SiteOne consolidated backups onto a cloud-native Cohesity platform with AWS archival and immutable snapshots. The solution simplified management, eliminated forklift upgrades and extra licenses, and enabled instant VM restores and same‑day file recovery during the ransomware incident — delivering faster recoveries (minutes vs. weeks), improved staff efficiency, and uninterrupted business continuity without paying ransom.
