Cohesity, a pioneer of hyperconverged secondary storage, today announced that Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition now runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). By extending the capabilities of its web-scale platform that enables businesses to run all secondary workloads seamlessly across on-premises and cloud infrastructures, Cohesity continues to meet the growing demand for efficient and easy-to-manage hybrid solutions.
Cohesity customers can now manage all their secondary storage workloads including backup, disaster recovery, application/data mobility, and test/dev with a hybrid solution spanning on-premises data centers and AWS.
The new capability builds on the existing functionality that enables customers to archive or tier their on-premises backup data to AWS. With Cohesity DataPlatform now running on AWS, customers can instantly recover virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud, and provision test/dev instances for developers. Cohesity Cloud Edition can also be deployed in AWS to back up on-premises applications and send all backup data directly to AWS.
Cohesity DataPlatform can be deployed on AWS on cloud VMs in minutes, and linearly scale both performance and capacity with additional cloud VMs that can be added non-disruptively.
“The interest in hyperconverged infrastructure continues to grow at a rapid pace, especially in the secondary storage space where there is an opportunity to streamline data protection and management,” said Henry Baltazar, research vice president, 451 Research. “The availability of the Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition on AWS facilitates the creation of hybrid solutions for enterprises, that can enable them to address a variety of use cases including backup, disaster recovery, test/dev, and application mobility.”
“The availability of Cohesity software on AWS Marketplace gives our customers an easy way to provision cost-effective cloud data services to complement their on-premises IT infrastructure,” said Patrick Rogers, vice president of marketing and product management, Cohesity. “This is further proof of how we are delivering on our comprehensive vision for software-defined scale-out storage that spans from the edge to the center of the cloud. We’re thrilled to be collaborating with AWS on this hybrid solution for secondary storage services that has huge demand amongst our enterprise customer base.”
Cohesity will be running a webcast on Dec. 5 where you can learn more about Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition on AWS and the associated capabilities and benefits. You can also learn about the joint solution via a new blog post on the Cohesity website.
