Data sprawl, rising threats, zero tolerance for downtime, and building your own backup stacks to keep up? It's hard to scale, harder to secure, and almost impossible to keep resilient under pressure. Upgrades cause downtime, security depends on manual steps, and recovery is trusted, not verified. NetBackup Flex appliances change that, giving you a fully integrated, cost-effective appliance built specifically for NetBackup. Turnkey to deploy in minutes, not weeks. Consolidate workloads, scale without complexity, and run industry-leading NetBackup services on a hardened, containerized platform designed for maximum resilience from day one. With Flex, security isn't an add-on, it's secure by default. Zero-trust controls like role-based access and multi-person authorization protect critical actions. Network access controls and strong identity protections ensure only the correct people have access. Flex watches for trouble, too. Integrated malware scanning and anomaly detection help you spot attacks early. Air-gapped copies on immutable worm storage make your backups tamper-resistant and easy to recover confidently at scale. And with long-term retention now on Flex, you can keep data longer and still recover fast, on-prem or in the cloud. Flex is here for all your data protection needs, whether it be primary backup, long-term recovery, or isolated, air-gapped environment for recovery. Flex is built for always-on operations. Start protecting data in minutes and upgrade without stopping backups. NetBackup Flex appliances deliver secure-by-default cyber resilience built for clean recovery, engineered to grow, and ready for when it matters most. Trust what's backed and recover what matters.

TL;DR

  • NetBackup Flex appliances deliver turnkey deployment in minutes with a hardened, containerized platform that eliminates the complexity of building custom backup stacks.
  • Security is built-in by default with zero-trust controls, role-based access, multi-person authorization, integrated malware scanning, and immutable air-gapped storage for tamper-resistant backups.
  • The platform supports always-on operations with zero-downtime upgrades and scales seamlessly across primary backup, long-term retention, and isolated recovery environments for on-premises or cloud workloads.

Summary

This product demonstration introduces NetBackup Flex appliances as Cohesity's answer to the complexity and security challenges of traditional backup infrastructure. The video positions Flex as a fully integrated, turnkey solution that eliminates the operational burden of building and maintaining custom backup stacks. Key differentiators include secure-by-default architecture with zero-trust controls, containerized deployment that enables upgrades without downtime, and integrated security features like malware scanning and anomaly detection. The platform supports multiple use cases including primary backup, long-term retention, and air-gapped recovery environments. Cohesity emphasizes rapid deployment (minutes versus weeks), seamless scalability across workloads, and immutable storage capabilities designed for confident recovery at scale. The messaging targets organizations struggling with data sprawl, rising threats, and zero-tolerance downtime requirements.

FAQ

How does NetBackup Flex handle security differently than traditional backup solutions?

NetBackup Flex implements security as a foundational architecture rather than an add-on. It includes zero-trust controls with role-based access and multi-person authorization for critical actions, network access controls, integrated malware scanning, anomaly detection for early threat identification, and air-gapped copies on immutable WORM storage to ensure tamper-resistant backups.

Can NetBackup Flex be upgraded without causing backup downtime?

Yes, NetBackup Flex is built for always-on operations and supports upgrades without stopping backups. The containerized platform architecture enables maintenance activities without interrupting data protection operations, addressing a common pain point of traditional backup infrastructure that requires downtime for upgrades.
