Case Study: Thekking achieves simplified, scalable secondary storage and superior global deduplication with Cohesity

Thekking Chooses Cohesity for Simplified and Scalable Secondary Data Storage

Thekking is an Icelandic IT service provider (about 70 staff across Akureyri and Kopavogur) that runs Cisco + NetApp FlexPod and a large VMware estate with Veeam for backups. As its business grew, Thekking needed a simplified, cost‑effective secondary storage solution that integrated with existing infrastructure, delivered superior global deduplication and could scale without pre‑buying excess capacity.

A Cohesity proof‑of‑concept validated ease of setup, NFS integration with Veeam, and instant node expansion; deduplication quickly reached 3x and continued improving. Cohesity replaced two legacy systems at the Akureyri site, boosting IOPS and enabling features like Instant VM Recovery and Virtual Lab, while delivering pay‑as‑you‑grow economics, better cost per GB, and linear hyperconverged scalability.
