Overview:
Inspired by web-scale architecture, DataPlatform is a scale-out solution
based on a unique distributed file system, SpanFS®. DataPlatform modernizes and simplifies data and application
management by providing one platform for multiple workloads. Although most organizations begin their journeys
to overcoming mass data fragmentation by simplifying data protection, DataPlatform’s flexible architecture allows
easy expansion to additional use cases, further increasing operational simplicity and improved TCO. Because
DataPlatform is a software solution, it works equally efficiently on-premises on qualified Cisco, HPE, Dell, or
Cohesity hyperconverged platforms as well as in the public cloud.
