A new press release reports, “Cohesity, the leader of hyperconverged secondary storage, today announced the release of Cohesity Helios, a SaaS-based management solution that empowers customers to see, manage, and take action on their secondary data and applications globally — from a single dashboard — while benefiting from powerful analytics and machine learning (ML) capabilities that generate valuable insights from untapped data. Today, enterprise customers no longer have all of their secondary data and apps in one data center. Instead, they are spread across multiple silos in different locations globally, creating mass data fragmentation challenges. Cohesity DataPlatform created a new way for organizations to consolidate secondary data and apps — like backup, test/dev, archives and analytics — in a single hyperconverged solution. Helios builds on this foundation and furthers Cohesity’s vision by giving customers unprecedented global access, visibility, and control of their secondary apps and data across all their Cohesity DataPlatform sites whether on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge.
The release goes on, “With Helios, enterprises have the ability to roll out policies or make upgrades across their entire Cohesity multi-cluster environment with a single click, drastically simplifying IT operations. Additional features make infrastructure management even more efficient: (1) Access a smart assistant for IT: Administrators can define service-level agreements (SLAs) by job and workload and Cohesity SmartAssist will automatically evaluate required versus available resources (e.g., compute, storage) across all clusters to meet SLAs or suggest changes as needed. (2) Utilize machine learning for operational insights: Helios evaluates how infrastructure is being used and utilizes ML to determine what adjustments or modifications may be necessary in the future. For example, based on current storage utilization and workload makeup, Helios will proactively recommend when additional resources might be needed to continue meeting business requirements.”
