Back to All Partners Cohesity INVITE Networks is an authorized Cohesity partner, delivering data protection, backup, and ransomware recovery deployment and ongoing managed services for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and the greater Mountain West. INVITE handles Cohesity DataProtect implementation, policy configuration, and platform management — so your organization protects its data across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments without running backup operations in-house. TL;DR: Cohesity delivers a unified data management platform — combining backup, recovery, ransomware protection, and data security intelligence in a single system. INVITE Networks deploys and manages Cohesity as a fully supported engagement, from initial implementation through ongoing backup operations. This page is for IT directors and CISOs evaluating a Cohesity partner who can own the deployment and ongoing data protection management. What does INVITE Networks deliver as a Cohesity partner? As an authorized Cohesity partner, INVITE Networks provides complete data protection services — not just hardware and licensing. INVITE architects the Cohesity environment to protect your VMware, Hyper-V, physical server, NAS, Microsoft 365, and cloud workloads, then deploys and configures the platform with backup policies, retention schedules, and recovery objectives defined during discovery. For organizations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and the greater Mountain West managing growing data environments with increasing ransomware risk, INVITE brings the expertise to implement Cohesity as an enterprise-grade protection platform from day one. INVITE’s engagement model covers Cohesity cluster deployment, source configuration, backup policy design, immutability and DataLock configuration, and integration with existing infrastructure. Post-deployment, INVITE’s managed services team monitors backup job success rates, manages capacity, responds to failed jobs, and performs quarterly recovery testing — ensuring your data protection program actually works when you need it. Why do Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and Mountain West organizations choose INVITE for Cohesity? Backup environments are frequently the last thing organizations invest in — until a ransomware event or catastrophic failure exposes gaps. INVITE Networks gives Utah and Arizona organizations a partner who understands both the Cohesity platform and the ransomware recovery requirements that make immutable, air-gapped backups a boardroom-level priority. INVITE treats data protection as a security control, not an IT housekeeping task. A Salt Lake City-based professional services firm with 30TB of protected data engaged INVITE after their legacy backup system failed a recovery test during an audit. INVITE deployed a Cohesity DataProtect cluster in two weeks, migrated all workloads from the legacy platform, enabled DataLock immutability on all backup jobs, and configured replication to Azure for offsite recovery — reducing the RTO for their most critical workloads from 24 hours to under 2 hours. How does INVITE deploy and manage Cohesity as part of its managed services? INVITE follows a structured data protection deployment methodology: workload discovery and RPO/RTO requirements gathering, Cohesity cluster sizing and design, deployment and base configuration, source onboarding and policy assignment, and managed operations handoff. The discovery phase captures every protected workload, existing backup policy, retention requirement, and recovery priority — ensuring the Cohesity environment is configured to meet actual business recovery objectives, not just default settings. Post-deployment, INVITE’s managed services team monitors Cohesity backup jobs daily — resolving failures before they create unprotected data gaps, managing storage capacity, and performing scheduled recovery tests. INVITE integrates Cohesity into broader cybersecurity programs, connecting Cohesity’s ransomware detection and anomaly alerting into security incident workflows and ensuring immutability policies align with compliance frameworks like HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC. What Cohesity products does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE Networks architects and deploys Cohesity’s unified data management portfolio based on each organization’s workload mix and recovery requirements. For core data protection, INVITE deploys Cohesity DataProtect — providing backup and recovery for VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, physical servers, NAS shares, Oracle and SQL databases, and Microsoft 365. DataProtect’s native immutability (DataLock) and WORM capabilities give organizations ransomware-resilient backups that cannot be modified or deleted by malicious actors. For organizations requiring cloud-integrated data protection, INVITE configures Cohesity CloudArchive and CloudTier — automating the tiering of backup data to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud for cost-optimized long-term retention. INVITE also deploys Cohesity DataSight for data classification and governance, helping organizations understand what sensitive data exists within their backup environment. Organizations evaluating cloud-native backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace can engage INVITE to implement Cohesity’s SaaS Protection offering, extending consistent protection policies to cloud-hosted collaboration environments.

Frequently Asked Questions: Cohesity Data Protection Is INVITE Networks an authorized Cohesity partner? Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized Cohesity partner, with certified engineers trained in DataProtect deployment and data protection architecture. INVITE provides Cohesity hardware, licensing, professional services, and ongoing managed support for organizations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and surrounding markets. Can INVITE manage our Cohesity environment if we don’t have dedicated backup staff? Yes. INVITE’s managed services model is designed for organizations that need enterprise-grade data protection without dedicated backup administrators. INVITE handles all ongoing Cohesity operations — job monitoring, failure resolution, capacity management, retention policy enforcement, and scheduled recovery testing — under a defined service agreement. How does Cohesity protect against ransomware compared to traditional backup solutions? Cohesity DataProtect includes native DataLock immutability — preventing backup data from being modified, encrypted, or deleted for a defined retention period, even by administrator accounts. Combined with anomaly detection that flags unusual backup behavior patterns, Cohesity provides a hardened recovery point that ransomware cannot reach. INVITE configures these capabilities as part of every deployment, not as optional add-ons. How long does a Cohesity deployment take with INVITE? A standard Cohesity deployment covering a single cluster with workload onboarding typically completes in two to four weeks, depending on the number and complexity of protected sources. Migrations from legacy backup platforms may require additional time for parallel-run validation. INVITE provides a detailed project timeline during the discovery phase.
