At Storage Field Day 8, Nick Howell from Cohesity provides a comprehensive demonstration of the Cohesity User Interface designed for modern data management platforms. The UI features a fully responsive design, displaying well on both mobile and desktop devices, and employs a tiled interface for usability. As users access the interface, they are greeted with essential metrics and alerts related to system health, job statuses, and storage utilization, aiming to deliver key insights immediately. The demo showcases not only the UI’s capability to provide a holistic overview of system performance but also its ability to handle infrastructure concerns effortlessly.

Nick further elaborates on the infrastructure management through the cohesive design that facilitates the addition and monitoring of cluster nodes. By double-clicking on specific nodes, users can view detailed information, including software versions and node activities. The process of adding a new node to an existing cluster is demonstrated, emphasizing the simplicity and automation inherent in the UI. This includes automatic discovery and software version matching, significantly reducing the time and effort required to expand or update the cluster. The ease of managing up to 32-node clusters is highlighted, underscoring the design’s scalability.

The session also delves into the handling of storage partitions and view boxes, which introduce a hierarchical structure aiding in the physical and logical segregation of data. Partitions represent a physical separation, suitable for departmental needs, while view boxes facilitate logical data separation and target deduplication policies. The demo continues with a focus on performance monitoring tools within the UI, offering real-time graphs that allow users to zoom in for detailed analysis. This robust integration proves beneficial for various administrative tasks, such as defining storage tiers and policies that accommodate diverse drive types and performance needs.
