New Cohesity Academy Offers Comprehensive Data Management Training and Certification

Data is powering business differentiation. Yet increasingly, organizations are recognizing their current data infrastructures aren’t providing the efficiencies they needed. And in the worst cases, they’re actually inhibiting business performance and creating more risk. That’s why IT teams want to quickly upgrade to next-generation data management architectures. 

But they’re facing headwinds because they don’t have an easy way to ramp up expertise to manage and accelerate their data modernization efforts. Now with Cohesity Academy, they do.

What’s Different?

With the Academy, Cohesity provides first-of-its-kind data management training for: 

  • Next-generation data management architecture, based on hyperscale principles 
  • Breaking down data silos and solving multiple use cases — from backup to DR to file services to analytics — with one platform 
  • Automating policies and tasks within a programmable, software-defined platform
  • Operating efficiently in a hybrid and multicloud environment
  • Making data more productive by running apps and services in place

And it’s all delivered in role-based courses and solution-based learning plans with comprehensive credentials.

I’m proud to lead Cohesity Academy’s comprehensive education and certification program for technical professionals looking to ramp their data management skills.

Learn It

For maximum flexibility and choice, Cohesity Academy delivers learner-driven interactive content through eCourses and instructor-led training to give you the information you want, at the pace you need. Our philosophical approach is to ensure technical professionals are presented with the data management obstacles and solutions that are the:

  • Most important to know
  • Most frequently encountered
  • Most difficult to master

Our class selection and progression provide learners the fastest route to designing, building, and operating Cohesity technology for the highest performance. And that’s across use cases: backup and recovery, data protection and recovery, file and object services, and disaster recovery in hybrid and multicloud environments.

Prove It

After completing rigorous coursework, Cohesity Academy provides a way for individuals to prove their data management expertise to peers and their leadership. This certification, together with six months of on the job training, is highly recommended for anyone pursuing a career in data management.

A progressive series of third-party proctored Cohesity certification exams is available for data protection, file and object services, and multicloud solutions:

  • Data protection certification proves you understand how to simplify backup, recovery, disaster recovery (DR) and data management complexity on-premises, in the cloud and at the edge while unifying operations on a single platform. You know how to eliminate data silos and do more with backup data on a unified, scalable platform. 
  • Files and objects certification proves you understand modern, software-defined file and object solutions and can combine them with existing NAS investments to better manage unstructured data at scale, anywhere. You know how to maximize data visibility and unlock value from all your data using solutions that enable broad, secure interoperability across environments.
  • Multicloud certification proves you understand how to simplify and automate data management with global visibility, eliminating dark data while protecting all data across hybrid and multicloud environments. You know how to avoid data lock-in, support the backup of anything and recovery anywhere, and seamlessly run third-party apps for strengthened security. (coming soon!)

Once certified, Cohesity digital badges allow you to promote your skills to professional and social networks. Each badge features data describing the courses and concepts that you’ve mastered. Displaying Cohesity certified badges can not only increase personal job efficiency, but also strengthen professional standing and boost your value to your business.
