Pure Storage and Cohesity have
announced a partnership that brings
to market Pure FlashRecover, Powered
by Cohesity.
This offering is the industry’s first
modern, jointly-engineered solution
designed to meet the most demanding
Business Continuity requirements and
enable new opportunities for datadriven
organizations.
Pure and Cohesity have formed this
partnership based on strong customer
demand for an integrated all-flash data
protection solution that empowers
customers to reliably back up and recover
their data at scale. The companies
have also formed this partnership
at a time when more customers are
embracing cloud services and are seeking
ransomware protection.
The solution also empowers
organizations to future-proof data
center investments and realize new
levels of performance to meet growing
petabyte-level recovery requirements.
In addition, the solution enables backup
data to be reused for analytics and
DevOps, allowing multiple applications
to leverage data stores on the highperformance,
unified fast file and object
FlashBlade platform.
“As today’s environment has made
abundantly clear, Business Continuity is
more than just surviving an event, it is
about enabling your business to thrive
in a crisis, no matter the circumstance,”
said Charles Giancarlo, Chairman and
CEO, Pure Storage. “We’re delighted to
partner with Cohesity to deliver the first
fully integrated solution that delivers
rapid recovery, designed for the long-term
success of any organization.”
The solution will be available in the US in
the fourth quarter of 2020.
“Organisations today demand an everexpanding
global platform to reach their
growing digital business objectives,” said
Masaaki Moribayashi, Senior Executive Vice
President, Services for NTT. “That’s why we
continue to expand our portfolio of the best
data centres in new and existing markets that
complement our global geographic footprint.”
While meeting the growing demand from the
market, NTT has also committed to following
sustainable best practices where possible
while growing its global data centre platform.
“All our new data centres will be set up for
clients to use renewable energy if they
choose, as NTT invests in a sustainable future
for our planet,” said Moribayashi.
NTT’s Global Data Centers division will soon
launch new data centre capability in India,
Japan, USA, Malaysia and Indonesia. When
fully complete, these data centres will provide
over 400 megawatts (MW) of IT load across
these markets.
NTT also has plans in place for next year to
develop new data centres in Silicon Valley
and Phoenix, as well as building additional
capacity in Mumbai.
