Overview

Building blocks for simplified, secure data management on-premises

Each Cohesity C5200 hyperconverged node provides compute, flash, and secure HDD capacity to consolidate data and execute workflows. Scale your capacity as needed, starting with as few as three nodes, and scale out linearly by adding individual nodes as needed.

Hyperconverged simplicity

Say goodbye to silos with one easy platform for protection, recovery, and analytics—plus seamless, non-disruptive cluster expansion so you can scale smarter as your data grows.

Built-in performance and security

Get faster performance for backup and data workloads with the latest processors and drives. The hybrid architecture combines fast SSDs and optional self-encrypting drives to move data faster, back up quicker, and keep it secure to meet compliance needs.

Future-ready by design

The C5200 is built to grow with you, whether you're expanding within existing clusters or modernizing your environment. With fast networking and built-in security, you’re ready for whatever comes next—no forklift upgrades needed.

Benefits

Pay as you grow

Commonly asked hyperconverged node questions

A hyperconverged node refers to a component within a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) system. HCI combines compute, storage, and networking resources into a single integrated appliance or node, providing a tightly integrated solution.

A hyperconverged node typically consists of a physical server with compute resources (such as CPU, RAM, and local storage) and software-defined storage capabilities. The node participates in a cluster with other hyperconverged nodes, forming a distributed pool of resources that can be collectively managed.

Cohesity’s distributed file system, SpanFS, provides linear scalability across many hyperconverged nodes and dynamically rebalances data as nodes are added or removed. It provides always-on availability, non-disruptive upgrades, and a pay-as-you-grow consumption model.

Using hyperconverged nodes simplifies infrastructure management, reduces complexity, and enables scalability since you can add or remove nodes as needed.

Hyperconverged nodes are a fundamental building block of hyperconverged infrastructure systems, enabling organizations to achieve greater agility, flexibility, and efficiency in their data centers.
