Cohesity adds protection for physical servers
As demand for data grows, companies often struggle to stay in control of a range of different secondary storage solutions.
Californian company Cohesity has pioneered hyper-converged secondary storage and today announces new releases of its DataProtect and DataPlatform products that expand data protection to physical servers, enable faster recovery times, and double performance levels.
Cohesity DataPlatform 3.0 delivers improved VMware backup performance as well as doubling IOPS and throughput performance for file access. Cohesity is also introducing a new proactive monitoring service that will analyze and recommend preventative maintenance actions for DataPlatform installations.
DataProtect 3.0 extends its data protection coverage to include physical Windows and Linux servers, in addition to backing up virtual server environments, enabling faster backup and recovery times. It can also perform app-aware Windows server backups, which ensure 100 percent consistent point-in-time restores for Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint Server, and Microsoft Exchange Server.
"With Cohesity 3.0, we continue to double down on our mission to bring greater efficiency and simplicity to the secondary storage landscape," says Cohesity CEO and founder Mohit Aron. "We continue our focus to extend protection to new areas of the data center and improve overall speed and performance, so that customers can realize even greater value from hyperconverged secondary storage".
The company has also unveiled new orchestration and automation capabilities that will eliminate error-prone, manual workflows for data protection and dev-test operations. Using built-in REST APIs, customers can manage Cohesity DataProtect and DataPlatform with their existing data center administration tools. Cohesity also announced new functionality that allows granular object-level recovery from images stored in public cloud archives, speeding up the process of locating and restoring specific objects from the cloud.
More information on the new releases is available on the Cohesity website.
