Cohesity SmartFiles provides file services and data protection on a highly available cluster. Rather than having to manage individual files servers, you have a cluster of file servers all centrally managed. The cluster is easily upgradable and scalable without any disruption in file services. And the data can be easily protected through snapshots, replication to other clusters and the cloud. Additionally features such as storage tiering to the cloud help with the scaling and storage costs as well.
