Hyperconverged secondary storage company Cohesity has acquired Imanis Data, makers of NoSQL data protection software, for an undisclosed sum. CohesityAdding the Imanis Data technology extends Cohesity's coverage to NoSQL distributed databases like MongoDB, Cassandra, Couchbase, and Hbase, as well as Hadoop data on HDFS datastores. "We'll keep the Imanis Data brand, but there'll be tighter integration with the Cohesity platform," said Aron. Imanis Data won't be receiving special treatment, however, and will continue to use the same APIs that are available to all Cohesity partners. Some capabilities from Imanis Data will likely be merged with core Cohesity features where there is substantial overlap, such as the Imanis Data SmartPolicy scheduling function, and the ThreatSense feature for detecting malware and ransomware.
