Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Release Notes

1.

Improved storage tiering efficiency to avoid performance slowdowns and memory issues caused by blobs with a large number of references, and verified that the new optimized processing flow is correctly applied to these blobs.

2.

Introduced a new alerting capability to help prevent connectors from exceeding configured site scope limits, ensuring continued protection and avoiding unexpected backup interruptions. The solution provides clearer visibility into connector usage and proactively notifies when thresholds are approached, improving monitoring and operational reliability.

3.

Improved handling of large files during backup and indexing. For very large items, such as a 100MB Excel file, metadata is now indexed while content indexing is skipped to prevent errors, ensuring smooth processing without impacting system stability.

4.

Introduced the ability to customize the restore/download pop-up dialog for SharePoint stubbing. Administrators can now optionally display their organization's logo instead of the default Cohesity ASP branding, helping reduce end-user confusion and support tickets while maintaining a consistent customer-facing experience.

5.

Improved tenant upgrades for environments with multiple StorSites by adjusting the upgrade sequence for search nodes.

6.

Improved reliability of EWS connector backups configured via PowerShell by adding robust retry mechanisms for transient failures. Updates include exponential backoff for initialization, thread-safe null checks, enhanced retry logic, and expanded exception handling ensuring backups complete successfully even under concurrent or error-prone scenarios.

7.

Introduced a hotfix for Slack connectors in Discovery API mode to allow selective workspace backup. Customers can now exclude specific workspaces from ingestion, preventing unnecessary license consumption and storage usage while continuing to back up only the desired workspace(s).
