Case Study: French Red Cross achieves 100% backup success and faster recovery with Cohesity DataProtect

The French Red Cross trusts Cohesity for migration, management, backup, and data protection

The French Red Cross, which supports health and social services across some 650 establishments with 66,000 volunteers and 16,000 employees, needed to simplify and automate backup and recovery while meeting easy-to-monitor SLAs, exposing APIs for future extensions, leveraging cloud storage (Amazon S3) when needed, and keeping costs predictable and under control.

They migrated to Cohesity DataProtect with implementation and maintenance by Skill Partner, completing an encrypted data migration in about two weeks and later converting to SaaS. The unified on‑prem and cloud interface delivered a 100% backup success rate, a system that is self-contained 95% of the time, significantly reduced backup windows, instant access to protected data, and freed the IT team to focus on higher‑value projects.
