Monday, August 29, 2016
Coho DataStream 2.8 is the only solution available that natively runs file, block and HDFS on the same platform with multi-tenancy, QoS and container support
Vancouver, BC and Palo Alto, CA, August 29, 2016--(T-Net)--Coho Data, a leading innovator and provider of true scale-out all flash storage architecture and infrastructure solutions for private clouds, today announced DataStream 2.8, helping to make the Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) a reality by delivering the simplicity, elastic scale and economics of the public cloud to the enterprise private cloud.

Editor's Note: Coho Data has their Canadian Office in the Yaletown area of Vancouver, BC.

The latest architecture release from Coho Data incorporates features that address many of the key elements required by enterprises to set up a private cloud on-premise with significant reductions in TCO.
Most important, DataStream 2.8 is the only solution now available that can natively run file and block storage and Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) on the same platform with multi-tenancy, quality of service (QoS) and container support, according to the company.
“At Colony Networks, we are trying to improve our data center utilization to scale further, meeting our workload demands. This is where Coho comes in and is the key. We were able to move our existing workloads to Coho without changing any of the code while seeing about 40 percent increase in performance,” said Michael Kuhlmann, president and CEO, Colony Networks. “Today, we are ingesting a large amount of device monitoring probe and Wi-Fi session information that needs to be crunched. With the Coho DataStream 2.8 release, we can now run elastic search and other micro-services in a container directly on storage, allowing us to build new value added software features and enhance our customers' experience using our software.”
Delivering Simplicity, Elastic Scale and Economics to the Enterprise Private Cloud
As modern, information-centric applications accelerate data growth, inflexible legacy infrastructure now requires more capital and operational expense than the value these applications create. To address this challenge, the Coho DataStream platform offers an integrated SDDC solution that uses the rack as its design paradigm, creating an entirely new foundational software stack that is better equipped to run, manage and optimize data center operations. Coho makes infrastructure invisible by abstracting and converging storage, network and compute at the rack level, thereby allowing for the right mix of resources for varied application demands. Coho's unique Software-Defined Networking (SDN) integration delivers true scale out storage performance, secure multi-tenancy, operational simplicity, and overall ease of management.
Coho DataStream 2.8 user benefits:
“Today's enterprises are struggling with how to improve the simplicity, elastic scale and economics of their data centers to meet their ever-growing application deployment requirements,” said Scott Sinclair, senior analyst at ESG. “Coho Data's rack-scale approach to network integration, workload unification, multi-tenancy/QoS and containers-as-a-service has the potential to deliver significant TCO savings to enterprises while leveraging the IT model they are used to where storage and server teams get to focus on what they do best.”
“Cloud computing will continue advancing, which will place new demands on enterprise data centers to keep up in areas such as ease of management, added control over the data and data center sprawl,” said Ramana Jonnala, founder and CEO, Coho Data. “In this spirit, we feel our new Coho DataStream 2.8 release provides our customers with many of the core components of a software-defined data center in a single platform that addresses their future, critical needs around consolidation, the rapid growth of data and operational simplicity.”
Coho Data will be demonstrating Coho DataStream 2.8 at VMworld (Booth #835).
