French City Issy-Les-Moulineaux Chose Cohesity DataPlatform

Cohesity, Inc. announced that the district council of Issy-les-Moulineaux has chosen to deploy  its DataPlatform software, saving resources and simplifying what had previously been a complicated backup and recovery process.

With a population of nearly 70,000, Issy-les-Moulineaux is a southwestern suburb of Paris. In order to better serve its population, the district council of Issy-les-Moulineaux has developed 40 business applications to manage education, extracurricular time, nurseries and daycares, and technical services, including the management of assets, building works, architecture, urban development, and the civil registry. It also uses horizontal applications, such as the Exchange mail system and a file server.

The district council was looking for a simpler backup system for its IT environments and data, one that would also provide a storage solution that could predictably handle increases in data volume. To this end, it began its search for a new storage, backup, and recovery solution.

In this context, the district council implemented DataPlatform to backup all of its IT environments (Oracle, Simplivity, Microsoft) and associated data, as well as its file servers, for a total of 50TB of data with an annual growth rate of 20%.

The organization chose this solution because it is easy to implement, powerful, and provides a web administration platform, and also because the convergence of complementary features within DataPlatform saves internal IT resources. Usually these features are only available by deploying numerous solutions, license agreements and providers, but that can be costly and time consuming to manage. The solution removed that complexity and empowered the district council to control everything from one easy-to-use user interface.

“We were looking for operational simplification, which led us to choose Cohesity. Not only is the Cohesity solution easy to deploy and administer, but it also meets our data protection requirements,” said Jean Paul Poggioli, IT director, district council of Issy-les-Moulineaux. “Cohesity provides a powerful and fast data recovery solution, which guarantees a high level of data integrity and availability. With this new infrastructure, our district has already seen productivity gains, faster reaction times, and increased effectiveness. And in terms of regulations, by indexing our data on the fly, we have become more compliant.“
