Cohesity, the pioneer of hyperconverged secondary storage,
today unveiled version 2.0 of its Cohesity Data Platform, which
includes important new performance, management, and security features
for enterprise customers across a wide range of industries. The Cohesity
Data Platform helps customers consolidate secondary storage use cases,
such as data protection, test and development, and file services, in a
more flexible, efficient, and secure manner. Now, with key 2.0 features,
the storage platform includes site-to-site replication, cloud archive,
and hardware-accelerated, 256-bit encryption.
Cohesity's
hyperconverged secondary storage platform is the first solution that
empowers organizations to overcome the challenges of fragmented data
silos caused by the adoption of various point solutions to handle
backup, file services, analytics, and other secondary storage use cases.
Using the new platform, customers are reducing their storage footprint
by over 80 percent and realizing immediate cost efficiencies by starting
with backup.
"Cvent
delivers enterprise event management technology to customers worldwide,
so it's critical to our organization that we can streamline how we
manage their data -- and our own," said Cvent Co-Founder and Chief
Information Officer Dwayne Sye. "That's why we're choosing the Cohesity
hyperconverged storage platform to consolidate multiple use cases, from
backing up data to efficiently replicating across multiple sites,
ensuring resiliency for both our customer backups and our internal file
services."
"Cohesity's
hyperconverged solution makes secondary storage dramatically more
efficient and easy to manage by consolidating backup, archive, test and
development, and replication on a single, scalable platform," said Jim
Miller, senior analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. "In addition
to lower capital and operational efficiency, version control is
simplified when re-purposing data for multiple use cases. And with cloud
archive for cold data, Cohesity adds another level of cost-saving
opportunity for companies that need to take on increasing storage
demands with an intelligent approach."
"Our
unified storage platform is designed with web-scale technology that can
handle today's and tomorrow's data growth with infinite scalability and
efficient spillover to the public cloud, replacing the monolithic
scale-up architectures that have dominated secondary storage for
decades," said Cohesity CEO Mohit Aron. "We are continuing our focus on
innovation to help our customers manage data sprawl with the first
hyperconverged solution that uses flash, compute, and policy-based
quality of service to consolidate disaster recovery, test/dev,
analytics, and other secondary storage use cases without missing a
beat."
With
the Cohesity Data Platform, enterprises can combat costly and
inefficient data sprawl. Cohesity Data Platform 2.0 includes the
following new features:
- Site-to-Site
Replication: Organizations can achieve enterprise-level resiliency with
the new capability for site-to-site replication between Cohesity
Clusters.
- SMB
Protocol: With support for SMB 3.0, growing file services for your
network-attached storage in a simple manner with built-in integration
for Microsoft applications and file services is easy.
- Stronger
Security: Hardware-accelerated AES 256-bit FIPS-compatible encryption
provides greater data security to meet even the strictest privacy and
protection standards for highly regulated federal, financial services,
and healthcare organizations.
- Automated
VM Cloning for Test/Dev: To deliver a more streamlined test/dev
workflow that repurposes backup data, automated cloning of backup VMs is
now available to more quickly spin up zero-space clones.
- Cloud
Enabled: A newly added public cloud archival tier enables organizations
to take advantage of the cost efficiencies of the cloud with the option
to spill over the least-used data to Google Cloud StorageTM Nearline,
Microsoft Azure and Amazon S3, Glacier, cutting on-premises storage
costs.
The
Cohesity Data Platform 2.0 also provides adaptive throttling of backup
streams to minimize the burden on customers' production infrastructure.
The Cohesity Data Platform 2.0 is available now at a starting price of $90,000 (USD). To learn more, please sign up for today's webinar on "Hyperconverging Secondary Storage" or join one of our upcoming lunch-and-learn sessions near you: http://www.cohesity.com/roadshow2016/.
