At Discover 2018 Madrid, HPE announced a strengthened partnership with Cohesity, entering into an OEM agreement to offer the Cohesity secondary data and apps solution available directly from HPE and our channel partners.
Why is this important for hybrid cloud environments?
Secondary data and applications—including backups, disaster recovery, files, objects, test/dev, archives, and analytics—are massively fragmented across a complex patchwork of specialized point products and infrastructure silos in the data center and the cloud. Not knowing what data exists where across all silos makes it impossible to protect. Additionally, not having an easy way to manage all data makes it impossible to harness for greater value. As secondary data often gets copied more than 10x[i] across distinct silos with no central visibility and control, it is inefficient and costly to manage, and creates a crippling source of compliance risk. You need to simply and efficiently protect, store and manage this exponentially growing secondary data across clouds, data centers or remote/branch offices, and put it to work for your business.
The HPE-Cohesity advantage: Addressing the challenges of secondary data sprawl and infrastructure silos
The strengthened HPE partnership with Cohesity enables your enterprise to better manage unstructured data growth, eliminate mass data fragmentation, and reduce costs and complexity. HPE and Cohesity are simplifying the management and protection of secondary data and apps with one, hyperconverged, software-defined platform for all use cases, including backup and recovery, files and objects, test and dev, archive, and analytics.
Cohesity software will be integrated into the HPE global supply chain processes and systems, enabling customers to minimize deployment risk, complexity and cost by purchasing complete, optimized and jointly validated HPE and Cohesity solution directly from HPE and our channel partners. This enhanced partnership makes it easier than ever for customers to acquire and deploy a proven and reliable solution to solve secondary data and apps challenges quicker and with more confidence.
