Evanssion, a regional value-added distributor for cloud transformation and information security solutions, signed a distribution agreement with Cohesity, provider of hyper converged secondary storage platform. According to the agreement, Evanssion will operate as value added distributor across Middle East, Levant, North Africa and India, providing Cohesity’s complete suite of solutions.
“Enterprise IT is moving towards a software defined and hyper converged architecture. This trend is apparent in the current market demand for secondary storage and backup solutions from organisations that especially generate massive amounts of data,” says Ashok Chakravarthi Arulmozhi, Managing Director at Evanssion.
“About 80% of an enterprise storage capacity is consumed by secondary data, and this imposes a huge burden on enterprise IT budgets. As a pioneer in introducing hyper-converged technology in secondary storage, we believe Cohesity has the capability to enable organisations to consolidate and manage secondary data cost-effectively. Our partners are keen to introduce Cohesity to their key customers and we are committed to grow Cohesity’s footprint across all major verticals.
Cohesity delivers a web-scale, hyper converged storage system that spans both private datacentres and cloud. It consolidates fragmented, duplicated and inefficient storage silos across backup, archive, file and object services, test development and analytic workloads into an efficient data fabric. Cohesity makes it easy for organisations to incorporate cloud storage into their enterprise via archival, tiering and replication to the cloud.
“Cohesity is pleased to have Evanssion as our value-added distributor for this region. With proven expertise in the hyper converged solutions space with existing vendors such as Nutanix, Evanssion is well positioned to expand Cohesity’s footprint across the region, and take our solutions to organisations that are struggling to manage secondary data storage and backup,” said Vivek Agarwal, Head of Corporate and Business Development at Cohesity.
“Cohesity addresses more than backup requirements, and looking at the market demand, we see huge potential for growth in the region. With an exceptional track record and success with the launch of its first hyper converged datacentre solution in the region, we believe Evanssion will play a crucial role in taking our solutions to customers across verticals and help us expand our market presence.”
