Modern Backup Appliances Function as Integrated Backup Appliance, Deduplicating Backup Appliance or Both; Interview with System Architect, Fidel Michieli, Part 4

October 18, 2016

Cohesity effectively blurs these lines by giving organizations the option to use its appliances to satisfy either or both of these use cases in their environment.
