Traditional and recently established data protection vendors protect on-premises physical and virtual servers and applications running in them, and also customer data stored in the main public clouds, but protecting SaaS application data is a relatively new market. OwnBackup has helped to build this, with vendors such as HYCU and Asigra working to expand the number of protected SaaS applications.
Storage Defender will allow companies to create backups of their data and recover it after events such ransomware attacks. The platform can recover records that usually take hours or days to restore in a few minutes, IBM and Cohesity say. It’s set to include artificial intelligence features and will work with multiple types of data storage environments.
Two years after launching Data Management as-a-service (DMaaS) on AWS and following a slow start, Cohesity says it has now notched up a more than eightfold customer increase in 15 months to 500-plus.
Cohesity founder Mohit Aron is handing over the reins of the data protection provider to former VMware COO Sanjay Poonen. Aron announced on Tuesday that he has tapped Poonen to be Cohesity’s CEO and president.
