Cohesity Solutions

DataPlatform:

https://www.cohesity.com/products/data-platform/

Cohesity DataPlatform™ consolidates data and applications including backups, files, objects, dev/test, and analytics on a single, software-defined platform. Inspired by web-scale architecture, DataPlatform is a scale-out solution based on a unique distributed file system, SpanFS®.

DataPlatform modernizes and simplifies data and application management by providing one platform for multiple workloads. Although most organizations begin their journeys to overcoming mass data fragmentation by simplifying data protection, DataPlatform’s flexible architecture allows easy expansion to additional use cases, further increasing operational simplicity and improved TCO.

Because DataPlatform is a software solution, it works equally efficiently on-premises on qualified Cisco, HPE, Dell, or Cohesity hyperconverged platforms as well as in the public cloud.

DataPlatform has (2) editions which are Base and Standard:

DataPlatform Base – Provides no space efficiency (deduplication & compression), meant for use cases such as IoT Big Data, Video Surveillance, Large image files, and Healthcare in which there is little to no opportunity for deduplicating or compressing the data. Also does not support the use of our DataProtect solution for providing backups and recoveries of virtual machines and data.

DataPlatform Standard – Provides the ability to deduplicate and compress data, user storage quotas, use with our virtualized editions, backup/recovery use case, home directories, files shares, and much much more.

DataPlatform – Cloud Edition:

https://www.cohesity.com/products/cloud-edition/

Public cloud expansion will continue to see double digit growth over the next five years, according to IDC1. Your organization is likely already taking advantage of its ease and flexibility. However, you may be creating more silos of secondary storage and data that increase cost and complexity. Creating a single consistent operating model and user interface should be key to your hybrid cloud strategy for secondary data and applications.

Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition™ allows you to consolidate test/dev, disaster recovery, and cloud-native backup in a single solution, providing a consistent operating model and environment, whether you choose AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud.

Key Benefits:

  • Single, Simple Solution – Streamline operations for all your secondary data and applications in the cloud using the same user interface.
  • Superior TCO – Maximize storage efficiency with variable-length, global deduplication.
  • Comprehensive Security – Secure your data with software-based encryption, both in the cloud and during replication.

DataPlatform for Edge:

https://www.cohesity.com/products/dataplatform-for-edge/

Cohesity DataPlatform for Edge dramatically simplifies data management and protection in the remote and branch office locations by consolidating backup, recovery, file services and object storage on a single software-defined solution, managed through a global user interface.

The solution offers enterprise-class capabilities, similar to the core and can be deployed on leading hypervisors (VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, RHEL) and on certified HPE and Cisco 1U1N servers.

Cohesity DataPlatform for Edge allows easy, policy-based data mobility to the core and leading public cloud providers for long term archival, replication and tiering.

SpanFS Distributed File System:

https://www.cohesity.com/products/spanfs/

Designed to combine the best of enterprise and cloud stacks, SpanFS exposes industry-standard, globally distributed NFS, SMB and S3 interfaces.

The IO Engine detects random vs. sequential IO profiles, splits the data into chunks, performs deduplication and directs to the most appropriate storage tier.

SpanFS also includes a new Metadata Store based on a consistent, distributed, NoSQL store for fast operations at scale.

SnapTree® provides a distributed meta data structure based on B+ tree concepts. It supports unlimited, frequent snapshots with no performance degradation.

DataProtect:

https://www.cohesity.com/products/data-protect/

Cohesity DataProtect is a high-performance, software-defined backup and recovery solution for modern, application-driven infrastructure that spans from the core to the cloud and edge.

Complementing Cohesity DataPlatform, it delivers comprehensive protection with policy-based management for all workloads, anywhere—virtual and physical, databases, NAS, cloud environments, and business-critical applications—on a single, webscale
platform that converges backup, recovery, replication, and target storage.

Web-Scale Simplicity with Broad Application Support –
Cohesity DataProtect radically simplifies data protection by eliminating legacy backup silos and managing backup and recovery infrastructure with a single, easy-to-navigate user interface. It provides consistent and

HPE –

https://www.cohesity.com/products/hpe/

Exponential data and application growth makes it increasingly challenging to protect, manage, and gain insights from all of your data for competitive advantage. The complex patchwork of specialized point products and
infrastructure silos that your teams must now manage across data centers and clouds contributes to mass data fragmentation — creating unnecessary business cost, risk, and operational burdens while preventing your
organization from realizing cloud benefits.


Cohesity and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) deliver an integrated and validated data management solution for non-latency sensitive data that eliminates silos so you can easily back up and extract insights from all of your data and apps. The best-of-breed solution, spanning on-premises, cloud, and the edge, combines the simplicity and efficiency of web-scale Cohesity data management software with the power and density of industry-leading, certified HPE Apollo and HPE ProLiant Gen 10 servers with HPE Pointnext services. Complementing the HPE Intelligent Data Platform, the joint solution redefines data management for the vast majority of enterprise data — backups, archives, file shares, object stores, and data used for dev/test and analytics.

Cisco –

https://www.cohesity.com/products/cisco/

Data center modernization empowers your organization to take
advantage of all of your data, wherever it resides, for competitive
advantage. Yet the vast majority of your enterprise data—backups, archives,
file shares, object stores, and data used for dev/test and analytics—sits in
fragmented infrastructure silos that make data hard to protect, expensive
to manage, and difficult to analyze.


Cohesity and Cisco are teaming to solve mass data fragmentation by
consolidating silos onto one Cohesity web-scale platform—spanning
on-premises, cloud, and the edge—running on Cisco UCS, and uniquely
allowing your organization to run apps on that platform. This makes it easier than ever for you to back up and extract insights from your data.

Together, Cisco and Cohesity offer joint solutions that empower your
organization to:

  • Modernize non-latency sensitive data infrastructure with Cohesity
    on Cisco UCS to rapidly protect and share data, as well as use it
    seamlessly for agile dev/test, analytics, security, and compliance.
  • Modernize both latency-sensitive data infrastructure on Cisco
    HyperFlex and non-latency-sensitive data infrastructure on Cohesity—
    all running on Cisco UCS. In a Cisco Validated Design, you’re assured
    hyperconverged simplicity, multi-cloud agility, and global visibility.
