A recent press release states, “Cohesity, a leader of hyperconverged secondary storage, today announced expanded integration with Microsoft Azure to empower enterprises to run a wide range of secondary data workloads seamlessly across on-premises and Azure infrastructure. Joint customers can now optimize long-term retention utilizing Cohesity Data Platform with the global scale and cost-effectiveness of Azure. Cohesity creates a comprehensive hybrid cloud data fabric that now includes long-term data retention and archiving as well as backup, disaster recovery, and test and development. By bringing together capabilities that have traditionally been delivered through separate point solutions on different infrastructure and consolidating them on a unified, easy-to-manage platform, Cohesity is bringing simplicity to the enterprise data center with Azure.”

Gary Jackson, global IT leader of Energy & Sustainability Services at Schneider Electric, commented, “Cohesity has brought our aging legacy backup process into the modern day – providing a breath of fresh air in a previously tedious and frustrating process… Cohesity’s native cloud integration allowed us to seamlessly archive data to Microsoft Azure Blob Storage in a secure and encrypted manner, using simple yet powerful storage policies. This has helped us reduce our reliance on tape significantly. With Cohesity, our entire environment is backed up to the hour – every hour. What makes Cohesity so great is its ease of use, especially in recovering data almost immediately, running virtual machines straight from a snapshot, and finally, the incredibly responsive support team at Cohesity.”
