Cohesity expands hyperconverged storage lineup with on-premises editions
Hyperconverged storage startup Cohesity Inc. on Tuesday announced the addition of two more products to its Data Platform lineup, including a software-only virtual edition and a hyperconverged node.
The new products, Cohesity DataPlatform Virtual Edition and Cohesity C2100 Hyperconverged Node, join the company’s existing hardware and software sets C2100, C2300 and C2500, and its Cloud Edition product. They provide enterprise customers with an independent and integrated software-only backup package that can be deployed atop of VMware Inc.’s vSphere for remote and branch office locations. The solutions can be run on commodity storage hardware, the company said.
The new Virtual Edition seems somewhat similar to Cohesity’s Cloud Edition. It’s a backup product that runs in a virtual machine machine environment in order to replicate data to a central site for backup and disaster recovery purposes. Virtual Edition can be installed and managed remotely, and will hit general availability at the end of May, the company said.
As for the C2100 Hyperconverged Node, this was released today after first being announced back in January. It’s aimed at remote and branch offices that have complex information technology environments with multiple servers and storage arrays. Cohesity said a single node comes with compute, flash and disk storage, and that a minimum of three nodes is required.
Cohesity differs from other hyperconvergence players like Nutanix Inc. and SimpliVity in that it’s not offering a general purpose server-based application environment that includes compute, networking and storage. Instead, the company redefines hyperconvergence as the convergence of secondary storage silos such as backups, files, objects and analytics into a single repository. Cohesity’s main aim is to provide enterprises with a way to simplify the management of remote office backups, thereby boosting efficiency and minimizing costs.
The company said in its release that it has seen triple-digit revenue growth on average over the last three quarters, while its total number of customers has double over the same period. Cohesity reckons more than 250 petabytes of customers’ data is now stored on its systems.
