Protecting HPE VM Essentials workloads with Cohesity

AI-powered data security and management for HPE VM Essentials

As businesses re-evaluate virtualization strategies due to software updates, new technologies, and AI workload demands, IT teams face challenges reducing costs without adding complexity.

HPE VM Essentials, a new hypervisor from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, offers a single interface to manage both HPE VM Essentials and VMware vSphere environments, enabling workload provisioning without vendor lock-in. This simplifies migration and reduces cost and complexity across both stacks. Because virtual machines (VMs) share underlying hardware, they can become targets for attackers seeking to access critical data or propagate malware across a network. Protecting VMs is crucial, as a compromise on one VM can impact all VMs on the same host.

Cohesity Data Cloud, validated for hybrid VM environments including HPE VM Essentials and VMware, provides AI-powered data protection. It simplifies backup, automates data management, and strengthens security against ransomware, cyber threats, and natural disasters. Together, Cohesity and HPE VM Essentials software reduce IT infrastructure burdens with a unified UI, eliminate data silos, offer leading deduplication and compression, and deliver strong TCO. The joint solution enables scalable data recovery and grows with customer needs.
