Ability to back up more VMs in a single data protection job.More frequent snapshots which leads to more granular recovery-reducing the risk of downtime and improving application availability.Less impact on production environment, resulting in better application performance.Reduced VM stun in virtualized environments.Some of the benefits with this native integration are: This results in more efficient backup as well as enhanced application performance. With this integration, you can protect applications running on HPE Nimble Storage using array-based snapshots. To further improve the process of backing up VMs, Cohesity and HPE have partnered to provide native integration of Cohesity DataPlatform software with HPE Nimble Storage for virtualized environments. For example, hypervisor-based backups, while better than an agent-based approach needed in legacy systems, can cause Virtual Machine (VM) stun which occurs when the hypervisor-based snapshot is taken and I/O is temporarily quiesced from the guest to ensure an application-consistent backup. Protecting these applications using a hypervisor-based backup approach can impact the performance of production systems in virtualized environments. These arrays provide high performance and availability for mission-critical applications. HPE Nimble Storage arrays are typically used to run I/O intensive, business-critical workloads. We are excited to announce that Cohesity and HPE have further advanced our partnership by adding native API integration of Cohesity DataPlatform software with HPE Nimble Storage for virtualized environments*.

A better way to back up data and applications It is an integrated, software-defined, web-scale solution that eliminates the need for separate point products for backup and recovery, streamlines operations, and helps you do more with your backup and unstructured data. The good news is that organizations now have an opportunity to simplify and modernize their data protection investments, and by doing so, convert their data into the valuable asset it deserves to be.įortunately, the joint-certified Cohesity-HPE solution does just that. A new approach is needed to manage and protect data and free it from being just an expensive insurance policy.

The result is mass data fragmentation that causes complexity, cost overruns, and compliance risks. These are difficult and expensive to manage and maintain. Just for backup alone, the legacy approach requires multiple components such as media servers, master servers, target storage, cloud gateways, and tape devices for long-term data retention. This leads to organizations relying on inefficient, legacy solutions or point products for backup and recovery. With increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats in today’s world, data protection is an important aspect of IT strategy, but at the same time, often an afterthought.
