Enterprises looking to speed IT modernization strategies have increasingly embraced
hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) as the optimal way to reduce data center complexity andimprove scalability. By 2023, Gartner expects 70% of enterprises to be running some form of HCI.1
And although IT teams have successfully leveraged HCI for many general-purpose workloads, it
hasn’t been an ideal solution for most business-critical or edge applications. These are typicallymore demanding, mixed workloads requiring fast, consistent performance, higher availability andresiliency, and even protection in the smallest footprints—at scale. That’s where disaggregated HCI(dHCI) excels.
Proven industry leaders and technology partners Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Cohesityare first to market with a jointly validated, end-to-end dHCI solution that addresses every virtualmachine (VM) and workload from data centers to multicloud to the edge. It’s all of the benefits ofHCI without the limitations. Together, the HPE–Cohesity solution is one, integrated dHCI platform
with built-in data protection and unified file and object services that is easy to use, highly reliable
and scales efficiently.

More Efficient Together: HPE dHCI withCohesity

Less Complexity, More Business Value

Modern solutions must keep pace with the dynamic nature ofOrganizations unable to take advantage of all of their data, due todigital business. For business-critical or demanding workloads,
traditional HCI solutions introduce risk to an organization due toinconsistent and highly variable latency performance. Moreover,continuously changing markets now require leaders to invest in
flexible infrastructure that IT can use to quickly adapt. The joint HPE­­­–
Cohesity dHCI solution is intelligently simple. With 15-minute, rackto-app self-installation, it delivers 10X faster application performance
while being 4X more reliable for business-critical applications.
In contrast to costly, linear and fixed-scaling HCI that results inoverprovisioning and wasted resources, the modern HPE­­­–Cohesity
dHCI solution scales efficiently—allowing for compute and storageresources to be sized optimally—resulting in 5X greater efficiency forbetter economics compared to traditional HCI models.

Timely, data-driven decisions empower companies to differentiate.
mass data fragmentation, are at a disadvantage when it comesto data reuse. The comprehensive, seamlessly integrated HPE­­­–
Cohesity dHCI solution is a single end-to-end platform with built-in
data protection and file and object services that eliminates IT
complexity while improving workload performance, resiliency andscalability. With it, organizations can deploy applications faster andwhere they make the most sense—core, multicloud or edge—andensure all data is visible and can be reused to uncover insights forbusiness value, without creating more data silos.
Cohesity alone has already proven to deliver up to 98% faster data
recovery and up to 80% reduction in staff hours while lowering
TCO by up to 90%. Cohesity combined with HPE dHCI proves tobe a compelling proposition for organizations looking to extend
the value of HCI to more applications and workloads withoutcompromises and trade offs.
