Understand how combining massive data sets with AI can transform enterprise data protection and unlock new business intelligence capabilities.
Cohesity Focuses on Cloud Protection, Cyber Resiliency, and AI-Driven Insights
Cohesity is prioritizing three critical market demands: comprehensive cloud protection with strict cost optimization and compliance, robust cyber resiliency against threats like ransomware, and advanced AI capabilities. These AI applications will provide both business and operational insights, leveraging the company's vast data under management to deliver more holistic and meaningful answers for customers.
The combined company manages hundreds of exabytes of data, enabling it to offer broader workload coverage and greater value for generative AI and data insights. This extensive data pool is crucial for developing AI solutions that can automatically protect entire IT estates and provide rapid recovery from cyber events, addressing complex challenges that manual policies cannot handle.
"We have hundreds of exabytes under management across both companies and particularly when it comes to AI, more data is better."
Cohesity Leverages Modern Architecture and As-a-Service Offerings to Cut Cloud Costs
Cohesity is actively reducing cloud costs for customers through its modern, elastic, microservices-based architecture. This system employs containerized ecosystems, storage tiering, and deduplication to minimize expenses associated with data protection. Additionally, multi-tenancy options help lower costs for sensitive customers by amortizing infrastructure expenses across a broader user base.
Deepak notes that managing complex data protection and cybersecurity is increasingly difficult for customers, leading Cohesity to offer "as-a-service" solutions. These services cover critical areas like M365 backup, Salesforce, Google Cloud Platform, and cloud databases, providing comprehensive management and reducing the operational burden on internal IT teams.
"This data protection and cyber is getting extremely complex, and many of the customers we speak to, they really were telling Cohesity, 'Hey, you do it for us.'"
Cohesity Engineers Unify Platforms, Accelerate Innovation in Cyber and AI
Cohesity plans to achieve a common customer front-end by utilizing micro front-ends and Angular loadable libraries, streamlining user experience across its platforms. With a combined team of over 2,000 engineers, the company is set to accelerate innovation across critical areas including security, cyber resilience, multi-cloud, hybrid cloud environments, and artificial intelligence.
This consolidated engineering power will deliver significant value to customers, enabling faster innovation and addressing complex challenges such as vast data growth and the increasing frequency of cyber events. The unified approach will ensure rapid recovery from incidents and enhance protection for diverse cloud databases and SaaS applications, eliminating redundant efforts across previously separate teams.
"Customers will see tremendous value and much, much faster innovation because we are no longer duplicating the effort."
Cohesity Prioritizes Value Over Mandated Migration for Customer Platform Unification
Cohesity has stated there is no mandated timeframe for customers to migrate to a single platform, emphasizing that any movement will be driven by the value derived from joint offerings. This strategy includes providing a common management plane, leveraging API-driven platforms, extending workload support, and delivering innovations in security and AI across both customer bases.
The company is committed to ensuring a unified customer experience at the top layer while managing underlying complexities. This approach also guarantees that existing customer automation built around their respective APIs will continue to function indefinitely, avoiding any disruption to current extensive workflows.
"Our customers will not move because we tell them to move. They will move on their journey based on the value we provide."
Modern Data Protection Offers Enhanced Cyber Resilience and Cost Efficiency
Moving to a modern data protection environment provides customers with superior protection for their cloud infrastructure, enhanced cost-effectiveness, and significantly greater cyber resilience compared to older backup systems. This transition is crucial for effectively addressing current cloud challenges and evolving cyber threats, which older technologies are not equipped to handle.
Hyper-converged solutions further improve agility and offer substantial total cost of ownership (TCO) savings. These modern systems enable recovery from cyber events up to ten times faster than traditional methods, drastically reducing downtime and mitigating the economic ramifications of security breaches.
"Things that that backup could do five years ago is good, but it's not a cyber resilient as what the combined solutions are."
