Cohesity announced that Cohesity DataProtect and Cohesity DataPlatform have attained "VMware Partner Ready for VMware Cloud on AWS" validation.
By validating Cohesity DataProtect and Cohesity DataPlatform with VMware
Cloud on AWS and attaining the VMware Partner Ready for VMware Cloud on
AWS logo, Cohesity has tested and verified interoperability and can
fully manage customer support requests for these offerings with VMware
Cloud on AWS.
"We are pleased that Cohesity DataProtect and Cohesity DataPlatform are
validated for VMware Cloud on AWS. This signifies to customers that
these solutions can be deployed with the knowledge and reassurance that
the partner fully supports the specified versions and configurations on
VMware Cloud on AWS," said Kristen Edwards, director, Technology
Alliance Partner Program, VMware.
Cohesity makes it a snap to back up and recover virtual machines (VMs)
running on VMware Cloud on AWS. After completing an initial backup,
users can archive VM backups to Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier for
long-term retention and recognize reduced cloud storage costs due to
inline data deduplication. From the cloud, organizations can also easily
recover data, whether it be a single file or VM or their entire VM
environment.
Cohesity DataProtect provides end-to-end backup, recovery, and storage
capabilities for virtual and physical workloads, databases, and
applications with one simple web-scale solution. Cohesity DataPlatform
empowers organizations to solve the critical challenge of mass data fragmentation,
in which data is so proliferated across different locations, silos,
clouds, and management systems that organizations are unable to fully
utilize its value. Cohesity DataPlatform consolidates these data and
infrastructure silos and gives organizations a way to manage their data
through a single administrative dashboard.
By using Cohesity within their VMware Cloud on AWS environment,
businesses can realize the benefits of the complete DataPlatform and
DataProtect solutions in VMware Cloud for AWS rather than being limited
to reduced functionality provided through backup proxies or gateways.
Customers get the same comprehensive web-scale platform in the cloud as
they do on-premises to achieve faster backup and recovery performance.
"Enterprises are looking to take advantage of the agility of VMware
Cloud on AWS while also simplifying backup and making their data more
productive," said Vineet Abraham, senior vice president of engineering,
Cohesity. "As more data is being generated in the cloud and other
locations, customers no longer need to compromise on backup and recovery
SLAs and instead can focus on consolidating their data silos onto a
single easy-to-manage platform that was designed to support businesses'
evolving infrastructure needs."
The Partner Ready for VMware Cloud on AWS program enables partners to
validate their application/infrastructure component on VMware Cloud on
AWS. Partners extend their on-premises solution capabilities to the
cloud and ensure consistent user experience and functionality on VMware
Cloud on AWS. This increases customers' confidence in vendor solutions.
