AI-driven data security and management firm Cohesity has announced the integration of its Cohesity Data Cloud with AMD EPYC CPU-powered servers.
This development has started in Sydney, Australia, and is aimed at giving customers more flexibility in choosing the best hardware for their operational requirements..
Organizations dealing with increasing data volumes face a variety of challenges, including cyber threats such as ransomware, stringent regulatory rules, budget constraints, and macroeconomic pressures..
Cohesity seeks to overcome these complexities by providing technology solutions that meet customer requirements. To do this, the latest version of AMD EPYC CPU-powered servers is built into the Cohesity Data Cloud ecosystem.
Now clients can install and operate the Cohesity Data Cloud on AMD-based servers from Lenovo, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE).
Cohesity’s Group Vice President of Americas Sales, John Davidson, emphasized the importance of this update. “While every customer has different needs, they all want to secure and learn from their data. Part of the reason they trust Cohesity is that we work hard to provide the biggest ecosystem with the most options to meet their needs. We’re giving our customers more options to modernize and customize their data centers by supporting AMD EPYC CPU-powered servers. This increases performance and provides energy, space, and cost savings, allowing them to implement their preferred hardware configurations for data security and management,” Davidson said.
The growing popularity of all-flash servers is due to their ability to scale well with storage capacity, stringent power budgets, and high-demanding applications and workloads
There is a promise that the integration of AMD EPYC central processing units will improve performance while also delivering cost and energy efficiency. The partnership between Cohesity and HPE has resulted in the introduction of AMD-powered all-flash servers to the market. These servers are designed to modernize data centers. They offer greater density, functionality, and cost efficiency than traditional servers.
When compared to dual-socket 2U servers that are powered by other CPUs, single-socket 1U HPE servers that are powered by AMD EPYC have the potential to reduce the number of nodes that are required and the amount of money spent on power by up to 33 percent.
The software that Cohesity provides is preloaded at the factory when it is purchased through HPE Secure Supply Chain.This streamlines the deployment process and increases the security of the solution.
Kumaran Siva, Corporate Vice President, Strategic Market Development, AMD, comments on the increasing demands on data centers and how AMD’s technology is addressing these current challenges.”Businesses increasingly demand more from their data centers—more performance, more energy efficiency, and more cost savings. AMD is uniquely positioned to help meet the demands of the modern data centre while enabling technology partners, like Cohesity, to deliver business-critical applications like their AI-powered data security and management capabilities,” Siva said.
The new Cohesity AI-powered data protection and management capabilities are also available on Dell and Lenovo hybrid servers, which were previously available on HPE’s AMD-powered all-flash servers.
This move is a step forward for Cohesity to provide robust and energy-efficient data protection solutions, solidifying its position as a leader in the space and allowing its customers to better modernize and optimize their data centers.
