Cohesity has selected Chicago-based CrossRealms Inc. as its first Managed Services Provider partner. CrossRealms is kicking off the partnership by hosting the nation's first hands-on training events. The Test-Drive Events begin in February. Cohesity is the industry's first hyperconverged secondary storage solution and the brainchild of Google File Systems creator Mohit Aron.

CrossRealms has become the second Authorized Cohesity Reseller in Chicago. "Cohesity provides a strategic solution to data sprawl and the increasing costs of secondary storage," said Usama Houlila of CrossRealms. Cohesity converges all secondary storage and workflows on one proved, configured and scalable platform. Cohesity aligns with CrossRealms' mission to deliver high value and game-changing technology to clients.
