About analytics

The Analytics feature in Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection provides visibility into the size and item count of backed-up data. Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection enables you to view this information at each stage of the data lifecycle - from ingestion to optimization - helping you understand how data evolves through processing.

Reported by source workload
It is the size and item count reported by the source workload (for example, Exchange, SharePoint, and so on).

Post-backup (Stors)

Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection adds additional metadata and also modifies the data format when storing the backed-up data to its Stors as follows:

Workload	Format changes
Exchange Online	Converts emails to MIME format. MIME formatting may increase size by ~30% for emails with attachments due to Base64 encoding. For mostly text emails, the size may decrease, but no email content is lost. Reports are based on the MIME-calculated size.
SharePoint Online	Generates an additional blob per item version to store metadata. Blob size: 1 - 4 KiB per item version. List items (for example, Employee Onboarding, Surveys) show only list item size as reported by SharePoint. The size on Analytics > Storage includes list item size + attachments.
Teams chat	Includes additional metadata for teams, channels, and chats in the Analytics size report.

After deduplication and compression
It is the optimized size and item count after deduplication and compression are applied to the stored data to minimize storage usage.
