According to IDC, interviewed organizations said the solution set enabled them to drastically reduce their annualized TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) spend by consolidating tools/service providers and simplifying the management of their IT environment.

Having better visibility rendered by a single pane of glass with Cohesity means that companies can drive cost optimization and operational efficiency from a wide-ranging and granular look at their IT infrastructure.
