Pure Storage is reselling Cohesity SW with FlashBlade to provide a single flash-to-flash-cloud, data protection and secondary data management system offering.

Pure FlashRecover, Powered by Cohesity, is a FlashBlade array front-ended with a Pure channel-provided white box server running Cohesity’s Data Platform software.

A canned quote from Mohit Aron, Cohesity CEO and founder, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Pure in bringing to market a solution that integrates exceptional all-flash capabilities and cutting-edge data protection offerings that together unleash new opportunities for customers.

This is not an appliance in the sense that it is a dedicated and purpose-built product but it can be used in an appliance-like way. FlashRecover is a jointly-engineered system, with disaggregated and independently scalable compute and storage resources, and But the FlashBlade array can perform other functions as well as providing storage for Cohesity’s SW.

The FlashRecover system can function as general data protection facility for Pure Storage and other suppliers’ physical, virtual, and cloud-native environments, with faster-than-disk restore and throughput from the all-flash FlashBlade array. The full  functionality of Cohesity’s hyper-converged, scale-out Data Platform is also available to customers, including tiering off data to a public cloud, ransomware protection, copy data management, data supply to analytics and test and dev, and file storage.

Integration

Pure has become a Cohesity Technology Partner and the two company’s SW environments have been integrated. Cohesity’s Helios management SW auto-discovers FlashBlade systems and Cohesity uses FlashBlade snapshots.

Cohesity’s SW  spreads the data across available space on FlashBlade to maximise restore performance and enhance efficiency. It is optimised to provide performance even when the storage for the data is from disaggregated FlashBlades.

The FlashRecover system will be sold by Pure’s channel and supported by Pure. Cohesity and Pure are looking forward to further joint technology developments from this point.

ObjectEngine replacement

Back in July Pure canned its FlashBlade-based ObjectEngine backup appliance, saying it was: “working with select data protection partners, which we see as a more cohesive path to enhancing those solutions with native high performance and cloud-connected fast file and object storage to satisfy the needs in the market.”

Now we see that Cohesity SW replaces the ObjectEngine SW and FlashRecover replaces ObjectEngine.

Pure FlashRecover, Powered by Cohesity is being tested by joint customers today and will be generally available in the United States in Q4 CY2020 and in countries outside the United States in the coming quarters. POCs for select customers are available now.
