Cohesity’s software-defined approach enables us to rapidly deliver new innovation, allowing our customers to modernize their infrastructure and derive more value out of their data. With Pegasus 6.2, Cohesity delivers enhanced data protection across a wide range of virtualized, database, and cloud workloads. Let’s dig into the new capabilities…
We allow for self-service data protection to tenants via the Cohesity plug-in for vCD HTML5 tenant portal. The plug-in ensures that each tenant environment remains secure with automated, role-based access controls. You can also leverage Cohesity’s API-first architecture to integrate with third-party service portals, simplify orchestration of routine data protection tasks, and build customized analytics into your tool of choice.
Overall management is greatly simplified by protecting the entire cluster (and not just single nodes) with a single UI. RMAN catalogs are managed centrally and the need for scripts is eliminated. We provide a seamless integration without the need for any rip-and-replace and updates are non-disruptive.
Cohesity provides a SAP certified integration into SAP HANA, which allows you to integrate with ease into your existing SAP processes and keep using your favorite SAP tools such as SAP HANA studio, DBA cockpit, or hdpsql.
The integration protects against logical errors or data loss caused by hardware failures of HANA’s persistent storage layer, and provides the ability restore to the last state of the database or to any point in time. It accelerates backups and restores by directly accessing the HANA database via a fast pipe, and is multi-streamed across nodes, to send backups straight to Cohesity. It enhances security by encrypting SAP HANA backups in transit and at rest and it improves data integrity with two-node / two-disk fault tolerance, strict consistency, erasure coding, and replication factor.
To achieve compliance companies must show auditors that they are well protected against data loss and specifically that every server has been backed up periodically over time. To address those requirements, Cohesity is extending the retention period in our database of result history and making it customer-configurable. We are also providing a new Protected Object Heatmap visual report that shows at-a-glance backup successes & failures over time. The report provides role-based, at-a-glance views to help achieve compliance and save time for auditors.
Cohesity-certified hardware nodes provide the most flexible server options to build hyperconverged secondary data and apps infrastructure based on Cohesity DataPlatform. With Pegasus 6.2, Cohesity adds support for Cisco UCS C220 M5 nodes (24TB and 36TB) and HPE Apollo R2200 Gen 10 nodes (24TB and 36TB), further extending flexibility and choice for customers.
