Certified with CVDs and backed by Cisco support , the joint Cohesity-Cisco solution delivers proven business value while natively integrating with Cisco HyperFlex and Cisco Intersight . The solution has overcome the many difficulties Arnold Clark had with its legacy system , and it can grow and flex to mirror changes in the business . Molloy has achieved a paradigm shift in terms of investment in IT infrastructure , replacing the need to make significant investments every few years with budgeted , smaller-scale investments that will keep the solution on track to meet dynamic business needs . Malloy has won favour with the Arnold Clark
Board for taking this measured approach to future scoping and capacity planning , as well as budgeting . Going forward , Arnold Clark is working on utilising Cohesity on Cisco UCS for integrated file shares and data repositories with sensitive information .
Key benefits of the Cohesity-Cisco solution include :
• Simplified and streamlined IT processes . Hundreds of backup jobs are now reduced to five policies .
• Significant time and cost savings . Saved three hours a week creating capacity and deleting failed jobs . Six to seven hour restore period is reduced to around an hour .
• Superior capacity . 600TB of data in backup on 200TB of physical storage , resulting in a 2.7x reduction .
• Encrypted backup and ransomware protection . u
