industry unlocked change for Arnold Clark , but the company was drawn to its ability to allow for incremental , non-disruptive scaling over time so that relatively small-scale investments can be made as the business grows and changes . Moreover , getting this capability from the Cohesity-Cisco solution came in far more cost-effective than its nearest competitor . Both the initial outlay and manageable ongoing investment costs were a key factor in bringing the Arnold Clark Board on side with the Cohesity- Cisco solution .
Ransomware protection was another central consideration . Having conducted internal exercises , Arnold Clark was aware that it had insufficient protection against ransomware attacks , which needed to be addressed . The Cohesity- Cisco solution has an immutable file system ensuring backup protection against ransomware attacks and also provides data encryption both when data is in transit and at rest . On this , Malloy said : “ It ticks all the boxes .”
Arnold Clark was already using Cisco infrastructure , such as Cisco Unified Computing System ( UCS ) and Cisco Intersight , which made the implementation familiar and easier on one unified , programmable architecture .
The Cohesity-Cisco solution provides Arnold Clark with a simplified , modern backup and recovery solution .
Malloy said : “ A big attraction is that Cohesity is a certified technology partner of Cisco so we had the reassurance that it works and is simple to adopt .”
