Cohesity Named a Storage Technologies "Cool Vendor

SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - May 18, 2017) - Cohesity, a leading provider of hyperconverged secondary storage technologies, today announced it has been included in the Cool Vendors in Storage Technologies, 2017 ¹ report by Dave Russell, Arun Chandrasekaran, Julia Palmer, Raj Bala, Alan Dayley, Pushan Rinnen and Garth Landers at Gartner, Inc. The report notes that "it has become painfully evident that storage capacity demands, and expectations for far more rapid provisioning of that storage, have far outpaced the ability of [infrastructure and operations] team's capabilities. Far-more-automated systems are required to restore a sense of balance, that is, storage solutions that offer much greater scale, but also much more automation."
