Data is powering business differentiation. Yet increasingly, organizations are recognizing their current data infrastructures aren’t providing the efficiencies they needed. And in the worst cases, they’re actually inhibiting business performance and creating more risk. That’s why IT teams want to quickly upgrade to next-generation data management architectures.
But they’re facing headwinds because they don’t have an easy way to ramp up expertise to manage and accelerate their data modernization efforts. Now with Cohesity Academy, they do.

- Automating policies and tasks within a programmable, software-defined platform
- Operating efficiently in a hybrid and multicloud environment
- Making data more productive by running apps and services in place
And it’s all delivered in role-based courses and solution-based learning plans with comprehensive credentials.
