Add On-Premise SaaS Connections

Cohesity DataProtect as a Service uses SaaS connections to protect your on-premise or cloud-based data sources. A SaaS Connection consists of one or more SaaS Connectors, which are data mover VMs deployed in your VMware, Hyper-V, or AWS environment.

  • Cohesity auto-deploys AWS SaaS connectors based on your inputs after AWS source registration.
  • Cohesity auto-deploys Azure SaaS connectors based on your inputs after Azure source registration.
  • SaaS connections are not required to protect SaaS workloads like Microsoft 365.

Deploy one or more SaaS Connector VMs. On the On-Premise SaaS Connections page, click Add SaaS Connection to create a SaaS Connection. Depending on the data source you want to protect, you must deploy SaaS Connectors. For more information, see Deploy SaaS Connector.

Once you have added the SaaS connections, click Continue.
