Cohesity DataProtect and Cohesity DataPlatform Attain “VMware Partner Ready for VMware Cloud on AWS” Validation
Summary
Cohesity makes it a snap to back up and recover virtual machines (VMs) running on VMware Cloud on AWS. Cohesity DataProtect provides end-to-end backup, recovery, and storage capabilities for virtual and physical workloads, databases, and applications with one simple web-scale solution. By using Cohesity within their VMware Cloud on AWS environment, businesses can realize the benefits of the complete DataPlatform and DataProtect solutions in VMware Cloud for AWS rather than being limited to reduced functionality provided through backup proxies or gateways. “Enterprises are looking to take advantage of the agility of VMware Cloud on AWS while also simplifying backup and making their data more productive,” said Vineet Abraham, senior vice president of engineering, Cohesity. The vast majority of enterprise data — backups, archives, file shares, object stores, and data used for test/dev and analytics — sits in fragmented infrastructure silos that makes it hard to protect, expensive to manage, and difficult to analyze.
