Overview of AutoSupport
Cohesity AutoSupport is a set of infrastructures, processes, and systems that enhance the support experience through proactive monitoring of Cohesity Appliance hardware and software. AutoSupport also provides automated error reporting and support case creation.
Through automation, Internet access, and case management integration, Cohesity can improve the support process and give our support engineers the tools to solve problems faster. The AutoSupport infrastructure within Cohesity analyzes the Call Home data from each appliance to provide proactive customer support and incident response for hardware failures. This feature reduces the need for an administrator to initiate support cases. It also enables Cohesity to better understand how customers configure and use appliances, and where improvements would be most beneficial. AutoSupport correlates the Call Home data with other site configuration data held by Cohesity, for technical support and error analysis. With AutoSupport, Cohesity greatly improves the customer support experience.
