Cohesity for Dell PowerEdge: Use Backup Data Beyond Recovery

Access to all of your data, when you need it, gives your business an edge. While IT has focused on production workloads, secondary data including backup, archives and more is now 80 percent of total enterprise data volumes, making visibility into it critical to digital business success. The challenge is data proliferation across different locations, infrastructure silos, and management systems has led to mass data fragmentation, stalling IT efficiency and preventing the full realization of your data’s value. Because siloed data across on-premises and clouds is dark, insight opportunities decrease while security and compliance risks rise.

Together, the Cohesity software-defined platform and certified Dell PowerEdge node modernize data infrastructure. The joint solution boosts IT agility and flexibility by consolidating previously siloed enterprise backup data and applications and empowering IT to do more with secondary data for test/dev, analytics, security, and compliance workflows. Spanning on-premises and multi-cloud environments and featuring a single user interface, the joint solution reduces management complexities, compliance risk, and costs for global enterprises and governments.
