UCSB Consolidates Its Data Protection with Cohesity

The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) struggled maintaining multiple licensing and maintenance agreements which negatively impacted the administrative cost. The skyrocketing cost for additional backup capacity limited the team’s ability to expand its backup protection to many critical systems. After a three-month, onsite proof of concept (PoC) that included Veeam, Rubrik and Cohesity, the ARIT team decided to replace the university’s legacy, fragmented solution (Commvault, Tegile and Nimble) with Cohesity, a unified hyperconverged secondary storage platform.
