Eric Brown, Cohesity CFO, revealed insights into its strategy and tactics following the announcement of its acquisition of Veritas’ data protection portfolio in February 2024. Brown was talking to William Blair analysts and said that Cohesity was unable to engage with Veritas customers for most of calendar 2024, which left the door open to poaching from Commvault and Rubrik.
Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, and ServiceNow, the AI control tower for business reinvention, today announced a strategic partnership to deliver agent resilience, enabling organizations to build, operate, and safeguard autonomous AI agents and data with enterprise-grade reliability.
Cohesity CEO Sanjay Poonen said that his company could stage an IPO as soon as its investment bankers think it’s appropriate. Plus more news about Axiom Space and Hugging Face.
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.
