Summary
This technical demonstration showcases Cohesity's integration with MongoDB through Ops Manager, highlighting an API-based approach to database protection. The walkthrough covers the configuration of protection policies with periodic full backups and 10-minute log backup intervals, both strongly recommended by MongoDB. Key capabilities demonstrated include automatic protection of all replica sets, support for backups from secondary nodes, both sharded and unsharded deployments, and flexible recovery options including point-in-time restoration. The integration emphasizes performance through parallel data streams capable of processing billions of objects simultaneously, while maintaining security through immutable WORM storage, data encryption, and zero-trust principles. The demonstration concludes with a complete backup and recovery workflow, showing how administrators can restore MongoDB clusters either to original locations or new targets for disaster recovery, performance testing, or upgrade validation scenarios.
