The solution's deployment time depends on the cluster size we are deploying. If I am deploying the twenty-node cluster, it will take around six to eight hours. The deployment time varies from node to node and the cluster size.

We have implemented this solution on two occasions. The first was with the Cohesity team, and the second was done with our in-house team.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team. A team consisting of five database engineers is needed to deploy the solution. The solution's deployment is very simple and involves setting up IP addresses, VLAN tagging, creating protection jobs, and creating replication.

Our deployment method was on-premises.

Cohesity DataProtect supported us during the deployment. 

We used TGS and they were good.

Our team members handled the implementations. 

We had Cohesity support come on-site to assist, however, we were there every step of the way. The Cohesity PS teams are very knowledgeable. 

Our deployment was completed by a mix of both. The vendor team was very qualified and personnel was made available at each region to assist the local teams with implementation.

We used Cohesity's team to implement our solution.

We used our local Cohesity sales and tech team. 

Cohesity sent a sales engineer out and it was done in an afternoon. They made the whole process incredibly simple.

The engineer that they provided to us was amazing. He was dedicated to getting the job done right and quickly. We couldn't have asked for better.

We were assisted by the vendor team. The knew what they were doing!

In a few hours, the solution was in production.

We conducted a POC with testing and various evaluations, completing it in a couple of months. The deployment spanned across a broad range of systems, including both production and non-production, and we successfully implemented it within three months. This encompassed all our SAP systems, including ECC, BW, and others, up to ADA and earlier versions. Maintenance is necessary, but the majority of patches and updates at the cluster level can be seamlessly handled online.

Our Cohesity sales engineer along with an engineer from our VAR assisted in getting the solution in place. Each cluster in each location took a day to deploy.

Vendor team and in-house team together. Our Sales Engineer was awesome.

We had help from a consultant to deploy DataProtect.

We implemented with a Cohesity engineer.

Vendor team. The vendor's expertise was excellent. They included all the knowledge transfer that we needed to begin using the unit.

The vendor came on site, set up the appliance and worked with us to answer any questions we had.

Implemented in-house, worked directly with Cohesity.

It was set up through a vendor team, who did an excellent job.

I didn't install the solution myself. Another team, consisting of two to three engineers, installed the solution smoothly without any issues. The solution's deployment should not take more than a day or two.

VAR and a Cohesity rep.

A consultant was needed for the implementation. 

One Cohesity team came during the POC, but it was really easy. So as a test, I also reinstall the cluster myself very quickly when all requirements are met.

The vendor was there every step of the way to make sure the implementation was successful.

Vendor team and I would rate them as a 10.

In-house, we're a service provider.

We implemented in-house.

We purchased though Intergris (http://thinkintegris.com/); they did a great job providing us this solution.

Support guided us remotely throughout the installation.

The sales engineer (SE) came out and worked with us. His level of expertise is top notch.

It was done by a vendor team with great Skills

A vendor team did the implementation. They had a great level of expertise.
