Benefits

Data management at the speed of flash

The Cohesity CX8000 Series is a hyperconverged all-flash storage appliance that supports between 23 TB and 184 TB per appliance. It’s ideal for fast backup, dev and test (databases and VMs), heavy file and object workloads, and demanding app ecosystem requirements.

Our multicloud data platform, the Cohesity Data Cloud runs on all CX8000 Series models to deliver unlimited scalability, a single UI, leading data reduction, software-based encryption, enterprise search, and powerful cybersecurity.

Hyperconverged architecture

Eliminate multiple point products and user interfaces. Simplify your IT infrastructure by collapsing compute and storage into a single all-flash node.
 

The speed you need

Satisfy demanding performance-related service level agreements (SLAs) more easily with the CX8000 Series. These models are ideal when lower latency and/or higher throughput is required.

Pay as you grow

Scale and size your cluster anytime without downtime or forklift upgrades thanks to our flexible architecture. Add additional CX8000 appliances seamlessly.
 

Mix and match

Augment the current C4000 and C6000 Series platforms with CX8000 models, which can be paired with them as part of a heterogeneous cluster.

Bring compute to your data

Eliminate data movement by converging data protection, dev/test, and analytics workflows all on the same node.

Always on

Ensure business continuity in the event of an outage and during maintenance with rolling software upgrades.
