By extending the capabilities of its web-scale platform that enables businesses to run all secondary workloads across on-premises and cloud infrastructures, the company continues to meet the demand for hybrid solutions. Customers can manage all their secondary storage workloads including backup, DR, application/data mobility, and test/dev with a hybrid solution spanning on-premises data centers and AWS.

The new capability builds on the existing functionality that enables customers to archive or tier their on-premises backup data to AWS. With DataPlatform running on AWS, customers can recover VMs in the cloud, and provision test/dev instances for developers. Cohesity Cloud Edition can also be deployed in AWS to backup on-premises applications and send all backup data directly to AWS.

DataPlatform can be deployed on AWS on cloud VMs in minutes, and linearly scale both performance and capacity with additional cloud VMs that can be added non-disruptively.

Cohesity will be exhibiting at AWS re:Invent from November 27 through December 2 in Las Vegas, NE.

“Cohesity has delivered an outstanding solution for our secondary storage and data replication to AWS required in DR,” said Tim Duff, system administrator, Annenberg Public Policy Center, University of Pennsylvania. “We have realized additional cost savings by consolidating several other backup/replication software and hardware components, which has been critical to our organization. The availability of Cohesity Cloud Edition on AWS will enable us to further our move to a hybrid solution that spans from on-premises to the cloud.“

“The interest in hyperconverged infrastructure continues to grow at a rapid pace, especially in the secondary storage space where there is an opportunity to streamline data protection and management,” said Henry Baltazar, research VP, 451 Research LLC. “The availability of the Cohesity DataPlatform Cloud Edition on AWS facilitates the creation of hybrid solutions for enterprises, that can enable them to address a variety of use cases including backup, DR, test/dev, and application mobility.“

“The availability of Cohesity software on AWS Marketplace gives our customers an easy way to provision cost-effective cloud data services to complement their on-premises IT infrastructure,” said Patrick Rogers, VP marketing and product management, Cohesity. “This is further proof of how we are delivering on our comprehensive vision for software-defined scale-out storage that spans from the edge to the center of the cloud. We’re thrilled to be collaborating with AWS on this hybrid solution for secondary storage services that has huge demand amongst our enterprise customer base.“
