Cohesity named a leader and outperformer in two GigaOm radars on hybrid cloud data protection

Cohesity, a provider of next-gen data management, announced it was named a Leader and an Outperformer in two GigaOm Radar reports: the GigaOm Radar for Hybrid Cloud Data Protection: Large Enterprises and the GigaOm Radar for Hybrid Cloud Data Protection: Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises.

This is the third time Cohesity was named a Leader in the Large Enterprises report. Cohesity is acclaimed for offering “strongly differentiated cyber resiliency features,” “great data management,” exceptional analytics capabilities, broad workload and database support and exciting consumption options — including self-managed and Cohesity-managed SaaS deployments — all in a single platform.

The large enterprises report

The GigaOm Radar for Hybrid Cloud Data Protection: Large Enterprises report applauds Cohesity’s “comprehensive and coherent data platform,” as well as key components of Cohesity’s overall solution, including:

• Remarkable cyber resiliency capabilities:  AI/ML-based anomaly detection that can play a key role in the early detection of attacks based on data changes against normal patterns; immutable snapshots; strong multi-factor authentication; and the Cohesity FortKnox isolated data vault solution, one of Cohesity’s Data Management as a Service (DMaaS) offerings.
• “Fully fledged” disaster recovery orchestration via Cohesity SiteContinuity: “Converges backup, continuous data protection and automated failover and fallback orchestration with a unified policy engine.”
• Balanced workload coverage in hybrid cloud scenarios: Workloads (Microsoft 365, AWS EC2 and AWS RDS, etc.), databases (Oracle, SQL, SAP, NoSQL, etc.), virtual environments (VMware, Kubernetes, etc.), physical servers (Windows, Linux, etc.) and NAS systems (NetApp, Isilon, etc.).
• Comprehensive analytics engine: “Predictive capacity modeling and alerting based on historical trends” as well as the ability to perform simulations via Cohesity learning models, which “allow administrators to perform fine-tuned ‘what-if’ analysis sensitivity favors for burstiness and workload seasonality.”
• Exceptional consumption choice: On-premises or via Cohesity’s DMaaS offerings or both, providing flexibility to customers all managed “under a single umbrella.”
