These silos and the inability to share data leads to the generation of multiple copies that take up unnecessary storage space requiring multiple proprietary systems and UIs to manage. This fragmentation also makes it impossible to see what you have and where it is stored – preventing decisions about what data can be kept or what can be safely deleted.

In simple terms, to manage the world’s consumer data Google first consolidated all the data, then worked out how to manage it in a scalable way before adding apps and services on top to provide new services like maps, translate etc.

Cohesity has applied similar thinking to managing data across the enterprise. A single software-defined, cloud-native platform to consolidate data across multiple locations with a unified global management solution and the ability to run apps on the same data platform for richer access to all underlying data so matter where it lies.

You can learn more about Cohesity’s fundamentals in this blog.

• Simple scale-out operations in a consolidated platform with fast ingest and non-disruptive upgrades
• Global space efficiency with variable length dedupe, compression and erasure coding
• Global actionable search to find any data, anywhere across multiple workloads
• Instant mass restore at scale to any backup
• The ability to run apps, eliminate silos and copies so you can do more with your data
• Integrated cybersecurity to prevent, detect and recover across ransomware, viruses and other vulnerabilities

While it does depend on the exact problem you’re trying to solve, Cohesity can work in tandem with your existing solution, bringing several benefits such as ransomware protection without the need to replace existing systems. For example, you can keep your existing long-term backup but implement Cohesity’s short term restore. Cohesity’s deduplication removes some of the storage overhead on your existing Commvault or Veeam storage with the potential for further reduction in your hardware requirements. This means you don’t need to grow storage at the same pace that your data grows, delivering increased scalability.
