New storage platform offers data protection and seamless scaling
In the past companies have relied on different secondary storage solutions for backup and recovery, and for archiving large amounts of structured and unstructured data.
But as businesses need to store larger amounts of more diverse data this creates headaches for administrators as the same information collects on both solutions and may need to be handled via different interfaces.
Storage company Cohesity is aiming to eliminate these inefficiencies with the launch of Orion 5.0, a platform for data protection and archiving that seamlessly spans on-premises and cloud infrastructure and can be managed through a simple, single-pane-of-glass user interface.
It offers an indexed and searchable platform to give IT administrators easier access and greater insight into their data and eliminate redundant copies. Data is made instantly accessible to any application and user via standard protocols. This creates extremely efficient data and infrastructure re-use across data protection, archive, content repositories, test/development and analytic workloads.
The Orion platform also scales incrementally to cover companies' overall storage needs as they increase or decrease, instead of requiring administrators to set up separate environments for each specific workload.
"Our vision to consolidate, simplify, and significantly reduce the costs associated with inefficient secondary storage silos that dominate enterprise IT today takes a big step forward with our latest release," says Mohit Aron, CEO and founder of Cohesity. "We can now deliver to our rapidly expanding roster of clients not only simplicity in data protection, but also big data storage, which together typically comprise over half their total capacity. This is another important milestone for Cohesity along our journey to rapidly become the leading technology supplier in the $50 billion secondary storage market."
