The specialist in hyper-converted storage cohesity is expanding the applications of its DataPlatform for secondary storage with a number of new features. End users can now run third-party applications directly on the platform, it has its own Marketplace and offers an SDK for developers.
The secondary storage specialist states that the added possibilities for his DataPlatform primarily ensure that end users can gain even more insight into their most important business assets, also known as data. According to the supplier, this should put an end to dark data or opacity of massive volumes of secundary data.
The new solutions that have now been released ensure that they can run applications on the source where, with the help of the supplier’s hyper-converted Data Platform, they have now housed all their gigantic volumes of backup data and other unstructured data.
More insight into business data
This leads to more business insight into these data, according to Cohesity. The direct running of various third party applications on the platform ensures that, among other things, the creation of separate backup data copies and their transfer to the Data Platform no longer has to take place.
The running of third party applications on the DataPlatform also brings efficiency and cost savings, of course. This eliminates the need for end users to run and manage a separate secondary storage environment. Among other things, it prevents separate infrastructure philosophies and the creation of enormous data fragmentation. From a management and cost point of view, these are two things that can lead to a lot of headaches for IT administrators. With the new functionality, Cohesity now allows administrators to address these issues and manage everything from a single interface.
In addition, the added functionality now ensures that business end users can improve their compliance with greater insight. They can now use applications that provide a holistic view of all their backup and unstructured data. This will enable them to improve their compliance, eDiscovery and security objectives, according to the specialist.
Marketplace and SDK for applications
The storage specialist also launches its own marketplace, the Cohesity MarketPlace. Within this environment, end users can download third party applications for management, analysis, data compliance, security and more. These applications run directly on the Cohesion platform.
Suppliers that now offer applications at the launch include Splunk with Splunk Enterprise, SentinelOne for security, Clam Anti-Virus and Imanis Data for the protection of NoSQL workloads. The MarketPlace also offers a stack of proprietary Cohesity applications such as Insight, Spotlight and EasyScript.
The SDK is part of the new Cohesity Developers Portal. The portal should offer developers APIs, documentation and special tools. With these solutions and applications, end users can then develop their own business applications or specific solutions for the data volumes housed in the platform.
All functionality will probably be available next month in version 6.3 release of the Cohesity Pegasus solution. The Cohesity MarketPlace and the SDK are immediately accessible.
