AutoNation’opens in a new tabs Vice President, Technology Operations, Adam Rasner has been out front a lot latelyopens in a new tab, and he’s been talking about why the automotive retailer chose Cohesity over two legacy vendors and a major competitor for data protection:
- User interface
- Simplicity of deployment
- Cost-per-terabyte
- Scale-out model
In his latest video, Adam goes a little further in his Cohesity kudos, explaining that while AutoNation originally chose Cohesity for backup and restoreopens in a new tab, the company has found use cases for secondary storage as well. For example, AutoNation needed a platform to run lower-performance apps at a lower cost of storage. “Today most of our apps run on tier-1, very expensive, high-dollar storage and we wanted a place to run some of our lower-tier apps at a lower cost.”
Adam also explains that Cohesity fits squarely into AutoNation’s cloud strategy. The company has a multi-cloud environment (it uses AWSopens in a new tab and Microsoft Azureopens in a new tab) and many of its next-generation apps are going to be built in the cloud. It is key, he explains, for the company’s data protection platform to support both its on-prem and multi-cloud environments.
