• Leading Australian Data Science and AI Firm Experiences Immediate Transformation and Operational Efficiency With Cohesity DataProtect on Cisco UCS Servers
  • Cohesity Frees Up 80% of IT Staff Hours Previously Dedicated to Managing Backup and Recovery

SAN JOSE, Calif. – June 05, 2019 — /BackupReview.info/ — Cohesity today announced that Quantium, a leading data science and AI firm, has deployed Cohesity DataProtect to back up Quantium’s data, including workloads on SQL databases, network file shares, and all internal production systems.

As data is core to its business, managing and protecting big data is a critical requirement for Quantium’s IT team. Quantium recognized the industry was moving away from servers with heavy storage and compute to hyperconverged data management solutions. It had outgrown its Unitrends solution for backups, and recurring issues were affecting performance and impacting disaster recovery efforts. As Quantium is dedicated to harnessing data to power breakthrough possibilities, the IT team realized it needed a more modern solution and reached out to its reseller, Katana1, and Cohesity to implement a proof of concept.

After implementation, Quantium was able to consolidate numerous backup targets including NAS, direct-attached storage, primary SAN, and an NTFS file server into a single, unified data management solution on Cohesity DataPlatform. Through this software-defined platform, Quantium realized tremendous operational efficiency across the entire environment. Additionally, Quantium was able to leverage its existing relationship with Cisco and run Cohesity software on certified Cisco UCS servers. Quantium trusts Cisco UCS as an agile platform that allows dynamic provisioning for a broad set of applications.

With a joint Cohesity-Cisco solution, the company has freed up 80 percent of the time IT staff previously spent managing backup and recovery — empowering them to focus on other critical areas of the business. Additionally, with Cohesity’s unique global deduplication across workloads and advanced compression, Quantium is seeing 20x data reduction — an impressive level of space efficiency for optimal cost.

“Cohesity has exceeded our expectations and delivered faultless backup and recovery for Quantium,” said Craig Taylor, IT director, Quantium. “Cohesity delivers a simplified and modern approach to data management that is easy-to-deploy, provides new levels of efficiencies, and is optimized to run on Cisco UCS, all of which are having a positive impact on our business. The joint solution is also enabling our IT teams to spend less time on backups and more time focusing on driving business value.”

Additional benefits Quantium has experienced with Cohesity on Cisco UCS include:

  • Simplified management with a single, unified solution
  • Time savings of almost 50 percent for data recovery
  • 20x data reduction through global deduplication
  • A clear path to future expansion, including native cloud integration, and hosting NFS and SMB file shares
  • Compute and data management consolidation on proven Cisco UCS infrastructure
