Cohesity, a leader in next-generation data management, today announced that it has been recognized as a Visionary in this year's Gartner Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object Storage. This is the first time the company is mentioned in this report.
With continued uncertainty in market conditions, IT leaders are placing even greater emphasis on cost-effective, scalable, and versatile solutions to meet key data challenges. These include the rapid growth of unstructured data in disparate silos, management complexities, cyber threats and ransomware, and the difficulty in deriving value from their data.
Cohesity SmartFiles dramatically modernizes and simplifies IT operations by providing a massively scalable platform for multiple data management workloads. It is a software-defined, unified file and object solution built for the hybrid cloud that enables organizations to securely and efficiently manage data at scale. SmartFiles delivers continuous value from enterprise data using Cohesity Marketplace apps to analyze data in the field. To maximize uptime, Cohesity's unique distributed file system provides resiliency and consistency, eliminating disruptive upgrades.
“Our customers love SmartFiles as a great way to optimize cost, scale and efficiency for their unstructured data. Cohesity has always been about empowering our customers to do more with data—and SmartFiles empowers them to manage, secure, and defend their data with next-level intelligence,” said Lynn Lucas, Chief Marketing Officer of Cohesity. "We believe this recognition from Gartner underscores the value and innovation that the Cohesity platform brings to customers looking to simplify the management of unstructured data."
Already recognized as a leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions, we believe this inclusion in a second Magic Quadrant validates Cohesity's comprehensive strategy for data management services and underscores the need for a modern platform to consume, protect and manage Data.
“SmartFiles provides a centralized way to easily manage and protect all of our company files. It improves our availability, compliance and risk management and improves business processes. We are incredibly satisfied with the SmartFiles solution and its high availability, even during upgrades.” Cazi Brasga, Systems Engineer, City of Santa Monica
“Clauger has streamlined its data management on a single Cohesity platform, not only for backup and recovery but also for files and objects and the cloud, with TCO savings of over 25%. With Cohesity we have more speed and efficiency. For example, our file searches that previously took up to 30 minutes are now instant. Cohesity has greatly improved our overall environment.” Olivier Boute, IT Manager, Clauger
