What an unrecoverable breach costs in India
₹19.5 Cr
is the average cost of a data breach for an Indian organisation, per the IBM Cost of a Data Breach study. Most of that bill is the recovery that did not work: backups that were encrypted too, restores that stalled, and data scattered across silos nobody could bring back inside the window the business needed.
We will model your real recovery exposure. Free.
What is Cohesity backup and data management?
Cohesity backup is an enterprise data management platform that consolidates your secondary data, backups, files, objects, virtual machines, databases, and Microsoft 365, onto one scale-out platform managed from a single console. A cyber vault for immutable air-gapped copies and built-in ransomware anomaly detection come baked in. The backup job is the easy part. The recovery is the part that decides whether a bad Monday is a two-hour story or a two-week one. For a mixed Indian estate carved across three or four point tools, that single platform is the difference between a calm restore and a frantic hunt. See the platform scope on the official Cohesity site.
The buying decision usually splits three ways. Some teams want only DataProtect for the core estate. Some add the FortKnox cyber vault for an immutable copy no attacker can reach. Some hand the whole thing to Sirius Star as a managed recovery retainer. We run the policy design, the restore drills, and the retention calendar aligned to the DPDP Act framework published by the Ministry of Electronics and IT. The free 24-hour review tells you which mix fits your workloads.
₹250 Crore is the upper DPDP penalty ceiling per the MeitY framework. A backup you cannot restore, or a retention policy you cannot evidence, is the kind of gap a Data Protection Officer loses sleep over.
Three ways to buy Cohesity in India
Same Cohesity platform. Same recovery engine. Three commercial wrappers, picked from your real workload count and recovery target.
Cohesity managed recovery retainer
Policy design, cyber vault tier, immutable copy monitoring, anomaly alerts, and a quarterly restore drill for a 40 to 80 workload estate. The retainer means your IT head stops guessing whether last night ran clean across every silo. Single PO, one invoice, one console handover. Pair it with Secure Data Guard for the DPDP DLP layer over the recovered-data store, and with Nutanix clusters where the workloads already live.
From ₹52,000 / month
Cohesity DataProtect
Scale-out protection for servers, VMs, databases, NAS files, objects, and Microsoft 365 from one policy plane. The right start when you want to retire the point tools and cover the core estate. Sits well beside Cisco UCS compute.
From ₹1,600 per front-end TB / month
Cohesity FortKnox cyber vault
Immutable, air-gapped cloud vault that a ransomware operator cannot alter or delete, with anomaly detection on backup change rates. The clean copy you restore from when the primary is gone.
From ₹3,400 per TB / month

Is Cohesity right for your data-protection team?
Cohesity from Sirius Star is an enterprise data management design, deployment, and managed recovery service for Indian businesses running 20 to 500-plus workloads, delivered from Vashi, Navi Mumbai with a 24-hour recovery review, immutable cyber vault copies, and a quarterly restore drill.
You are the right buyer if:
- Your estate is split across three or four backup point tools that never agree
- Files, objects, VMs, and Microsoft 365 each sit in a different silo today
- BFSI, pharma, or manufacturing rules demand a tested, evidenced recovery point
- A ransomware tabletop exposed that your backups share the blast radius
- You need DPDP-aligned retention you can actually show an auditor
- Your last real restore test was, honestly, never
If you run a small all-virtual estate on a single hypervisor and want simple image-level recovery, Veeam is the lighter fit and we will say so. If you only need cloud backup for a handful of SaaS apps, a managed cloud backup plan is cheaper than a full Cohesity retainer. The review gives you the honest call.
Cohesity vs Rubrik vs Commvault, honest call
Cohesity wins the estate drowning in backup silos: files, objects, VMs, databases, and Microsoft 365 all consolidated onto one scale-out platform with a single console and the FortKnox cyber vault. Rubrik wins the team that wants a cloud-native, SaaS-first console and tight identity-threat analytics above all else. Commvault backup wins the very large mixed estate with deep legacy and long catalogue history. Veeam Backup wins the virtual-machine-heavy shop that wants fast, simple image recovery, and Veritas NetBackup wins where heavy NDMP or large tape already anchors the estate. For SMB-priced cyber protection that blends backup with endpoint security, Acronis Cyber Protect is the value option, and a pure cloud play sits with our cloud backup and disaster recovery service. I have watched a Mumbai factory lose most of a week to a restore that stalled at 60 percent, so the honest call lands in the recovery review, not in a feature grid. Layer Secure Data Guard for the DPDP DLP layer over the archive.
Cohesity FAQ for Indian businesses
What is Cohesity and when do Indian enterprises need it?
Cohesity is an enterprise data management platform that consolidates secondary data, backups, files, objects, virtual machines, databases, and Microsoft 365, onto one scale-out platform managed from a single console. Indian enterprises need it when the estate has sprawled across three or four point tools that never reconcile, and when an auditor or a ransomware tabletop asks for a tested recovery point rather than a backup job that merely ran. Pair it with Nutanix where the workloads live.
What does Cohesity cost in India in 2026?
Cohesity DataProtect in 2026 is licensed per front-end TB from about ₹1,600 per TB per month on an annual term. The FortKnox cyber vault, immutable air-gapped cloud storage, starts around ₹3,400 per TB per month. A Sirius Star managed recovery retainer for 40 to 80 workloads lands around ₹52,000 per month, including the quarterly restore drill and the DPDP retention calendar. Final pricing depends on front-end TB, retention length, and cyber vault tier.
Cohesity vs Rubrik vs Commvault, which fits an Indian enterprise?
Pick Cohesity to consolidate a sprawling estate of files, objects, VMs, and Microsoft 365 onto one scale-out platform with a cyber vault. Pick Rubrik for a cloud-native, SaaS-first console with tight threat analytics. Pick Commvault for the very large mixed estate with long catalogue history. We give you the call in the free review.
Does Cohesity support air-gapped ransomware recovery and DPDP retention?
Yes. The Cohesity FortKnox cyber vault provides air-gapped, immutable copies that an attacker cannot alter or delete, plus anomaly detection on backup change rates. For DPDP, retention policies map to your data categories and the audit trail records who restored what and when, which is the evidence a Data Protection Officer needs under the MeitY framework. Add Secure Data Guard for the DLP layer.
How long does a Cohesity rollout take in India?
Sirius Star starts with a free recovery review inside one business day, then designs the policy and cyber vault tier in two to three business days. For a 40 to 80 workload estate, the full rollout with immutable copy, a tested first restore, and the DPDP retention calendar lands in seven to ten business days, including the console handover and the quarterly restore-drill calendar.
One Cohesity platform. Every silo gone. Every restore proven.
Free 24-hour recovery review. A read-only look at your current backups, your real recovery points, and the silos with no clean copy. Written report inside one business day with the DataProtect versus cyber vault versus managed-retainer split, the 12-month cost, and the first restore-drill date.

P.S. A Navi Mumbai logistics firm called us last quarter after a ransomware hit took their primary and, worse, two of the three backup tools they were quietly running in parallel. We restored from a clean immutable vault copy and had the core systems back the same day. They now run one platform and a quarterly restore drill without fail, because nobody wants that phone call twice. One clean copy changed the whole story.
