Cohesity Integrates the Cloud Into On-Premises Secondary Storage
Abstract: IT organizations (and vendors) place an emphasis on the evaluation and acquisition of primary storage, which is the repository for mission-critical and other production-oriented applications. However, dark or secondary data represents 80% of enterprise data and imposes an enormous burden on enterprise IT budgets. The lower level of visibility leaves secondary storage prone to insufficient management and low utilization. Secondary data originated as primary data, but it is no longer used for production or operational purposes. This fact does not lessen the business value of secondary data, as it is used to fulfill a number of essential IT processes. Secondary storage is a diverse patchwork of equipment with various services, performance levels, management tools, connectivity, and features. This diversity results in storage that is difficult to manage, inefficient to provision, and complex to protect. Cohesity, is a provider of hyperconverged secondary storage, and recently announced the DataPlatform Cloud Edition. This impact brief examineshow this latest evolution of the Cohesity platform facilitates the storing and harnessing of enterprise secondary data. |
