Overall Satisfaction with Cohesity Helios

After first day of running proof-of-concept (POC), the IT infrastructure team was confident that Cohesity was the ideal solution to address their secondary storage requirements. The decision was made to replace university’s legacy, fragmented solution (CommVault, Tegile and Nimble) with Cohesity, a unified hyperconverged secondary storage platform. Cohesity’s native cloud integration allowed the team to seamlessly replicate and archive their production data offsite to Microsoft Azure, AzureGov for protecting police videos and AWS.

The IT team could now provide a single solution for all 13 departments to consolidate their backups on one platform, and scale-out as required. Setup and ongoing management dramatically simplified with Cohesity, and the users could now see their backup and recovery jobs, external sources, monitoring and alerting, all in one place.
  • Simplified backup solution with data replication in the Cloud
  • Performance and CJIS compliance for use with police car/body cam video capture and storage
  • Predictable pricing that did not limit future expansion
  • Simplified multi-tenant setup
UCSB drastically simplified their data backup and recovery process. With Google-like global search capabilities, they could get more granular and retrieve the file quicker. Native cloud integration with Microsoft Azure, AzureGov, and Amazon Web Services, ensured that the data was protected and instantly available when needed. The team saw instant capacity optimization with economies of the cloud. [It] Reduced OpEx by over 50% the resulted from eliminating multiple point solutions and overheads to manage a fragmented environment. [The] Team could focus on more critical stuff and get innovative, rather than spending time going through various trainings.
