Cohesity announced some major software changes to the Cohesity DataPlatform. These changes and advancements are all about bringing modern data management capabilities to all-flash solutions from key alliance partners, specifically Cisco and HPE. The software has added I/O Boost technology that the company says will provide even greater data consolidation, lowers total cost of ownership (TCO), and delivers incredibly fast performance for backing up, accessing, and deriving insights from data in all-flash environments.

Flash has more than proven itself over the years and provides several benefits over spinning disks. Several modern workloads need the performance and low latency that flash provides. While the price is coming down there are still a handful of other issues that need to be addressed with flash, such as eliminating data silos and protecting, managing, and deriving insights from data. Cohesity believes it has solved these challenges while it can extend all-flash to backup and recovery, file and object services, dev/test and analytics. This is done through the changes it has made to Cohesity DataPlatform.

New Cohesity DataPlatform benefits for all-flash include:

Unmatched efficiency: Higher throughput and bandwidth capabilities of flash media combined with Cohesity’s superior and proprietary space savings technologies mean even fewer licensed nodes required to meet performance and usable capacity needs, making all-flash more cost-effective than ever before.
Exceptional performance: Realize 2x to 8×2 faster performance for backing up and accessing data compared to disk-based alternatives.
Accelerated workloads: Meet demanding service level agreements (SLAs) with flash-optimized performance that speeds data management tasks, particularly for faster metadata-intensive operations such as deduplication and replication, backing up of both small and very large (multi-terabyte) files alike.
Faster time-to-value: Achieve competitive advantages with faster data reuse, such as cloning backup or file and object data for dev/test or analytics without metadata bottlenecks. The solution also boosts performance for Cohesity Marketplace apps, particularly those with random I/O profiles, speeding up vulnerability scans using backup, anti-virus on files, information search, and content analysis on sensitive data.
Greater choice: Customers have the flexibility of choosing certified all-flash enterprise servers that suit their business needs, specifically Cisco UCS C220 M5, HPE ProLiant DL360 G10, Dell PowerEdge R640, and Intel Server System R1208WF.
