New Cohesity Data Platform Empowers Companies to Consolidate All Secondary Storage Workloads for Radically Simple and Cost-Effective Data Management
Santa Clara, Calif. – Oct. 14, 2015 – Cohesity, the pioneer of converged secondary storage, today announced the public launch of the Cohesity Data Platform, the first product designed to consolidate all secondary storage use cases on a unified environment that helps organizations control growing data demands. The Cohesity Data Platform combines a web-scale storage architecture with standards-based hardware components that enable companies to transition from today’s expensive silos for different data use cases to a simple, pay-as-you grow solution for data management. By consolidating a wide range of functions onto a single platform, Cohesity can reduce storage costs by more than half and make enterprise data management incredibly simple.

According to the global research firm IDC, organizations will manage a total of 44 trillion GB of data by 2020, the vast majority of which will be held in secondary storage environments dedicated to a range of use cases, from backup and recovery to test/development and analytics. In order to manage this data, enterprises have traditionally invested in multiple solutions from different vendors to address each use case, resulting in a fragmented enterprise storage approach that is both expensive and difficult to manage. To bring order to data management, Cohesity has launched the first converged secondary storage solution, which scales seamlessly while maintaining the management flexibility necessary to handle a wide variety of workloads. Cohesity empowers companies to control the growing volume of data by replacing the sprawl of point solutions with a single, consolidated platform.
“After testing the product, we immediately saw the value of the Cohesity Data Platform,” said Richard Chun, infrastructure engineer for the international law firm Sheppard Mullin. “As we back up more virtual machines, they’ll be fully indexed, and what I can do is build my DevOps on the same system by using snapshots, and it’s all under a single pane of glass. Over time, Cohesity’s solution enables me to tell all my departments, ‘Whatever storage needs you have, whatever profile, I can manage it, and it’s not a deal breaker for us in terms of cost and complexity.’”
“Enterprises face enormous challenges due to the exponential growth of secondary storage data and are currently struggling to manage this siloed data with fragmented solutions,” said Mohit Aron, CEO and founder of Cohesity. “To respond to this problem, our team has developed a highly flexible platform that can scale seamlessly without compromising quality of service, so that enterprises can finally consolidate secondary storage on a single, intelligent solution that makes data management across private and public cloud simple and affordable.”
“There are many use cases for secondary data beyond backup and recovery, and while each one has seen innovations in the past decade, nobody has looked at these workloads holistically — until now,” said Arun Taneja, founder and consulting analyst at Taneja Group. “Using the same type of thinking we saw applied to HyperConvergence for primary storage, Cohesity has created one system for secondary data that scales out indefinitely and deals with multiple workloads without wasting capacity, compute cycles or manpower. This is a heady vision but I believe the right technologies are now available to bring about this revolution.”
The Elements of a Unified Secondary Storage Platform
The Cohesity Data Platform simplifies secondary storage by combining software and hardware components to provide a web-scale storage foundation that can efficiently handle a wide range of workloads. These components include:
The core foundation of the solution is Cohesity OASIS, designed to handle the differing resiliency and performance requirements of multiple data use cases. OASIS combines web-scale storage with built-in enterprise data management features traditionally addressed by separate point solutions:
The Cohesity Data Platform was designed to work in conjunction with pre-existing enterprise data storage solutions, allowing companies to start with a configuration that fits their environment without the high up-front costs associated with “rip-and-replace” solutions.
Cohesity has transformed the traditional pricing model by unifying software and hardware for a wide-range of use cases and eliminating the need to buy capacity-based software licenses from separate vendors. Additionally, Cohesity allows companies to take a a pay-as-you-grow approach by seamlessly scaling one node at a time, instead of paying up-front for major “forklift” migrations to handle future capacity needs. Cohesity’s open architecture also provides an extensible operating environment for custom and third-party applications to integrate directly onto the platform.
The Cohesity Data Platform is available now at a starting price of $110,000 (USD). To learn more, please visit cohesity.com/get-started.
