Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, announced that it has signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), expanding its use of advanced AWS technologies to help customers protect, backup, and recover data at scale.
According to both companies, this agreement reinforces AWS and Cohesity's shared commitment to built-in data security, enterprise-grade resilience, and data-driven innovation.
“Deepening our collaboration with AWS and taking this powerful step forward in our shared vision to deliver cyber resilience to organizations everywhere is great news for the industry,” said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and president, Cohesity. “By integrating Cohesity’s AI-powered data security capabilities with the secure-by-design, scalable global infrastructure and powerful AI capabilities of AWS, we will provide customers with even more effective options to confidently secure their data, keep it resilient, and leverage it to fuel business priorities.”
The expanded collaboration between Cohesity and AWS enables organizations to address these needs with enhanced cyber resilience, data intelligence, and operational agility, the vendors said. Features include:
- Rapid, cost-effective cloud backups: Building on Cohesity's industry-leading backup compatibility across 1,000-plus data sources, Cohesity delivers native integration with AWS services including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and Amazon DynamoDB. Enterprise-grade deduplication and compression reduce storage costs while maintaining rapid recovery capabilities, enabling customers to protect workloads—from on-premises infrastructure to cloud environments—through a single, unified platform.
- Immutable cyber vaults on AWS: Cohesity enables enterprises to deploy regulatory-grade cyber vaults across AWS—spanning 36 regions worldwide—ensuring backup data remains geographically isolated, tamper-proof, and instantly accessible for recovery. Through AWS-native immutability controls and private network isolation, organizations can meet stringent compliance requirements while protecting against ransomware attacks that compromise production environments.
- AI-ready data lake for unstructured data: Cohesity transforms backup data into strategic business assets on AWS by making protected data immediately accessible for analytics and AI initiatives. Through Cohesity Gaia, a generative AI assistant, enterprises can unlock insights from petabytes of unstructured data—from file shares to SaaS applications—while maintaining strict governance and security controls.
"AWS customers want to do two things with their data: keep it protected and put it to work,” said Matt Garman, CEO at AWS. “This collaboration with Cohesity helps them do both by using the global infrastructure and AI technologies of AWS to help customers safeguard their critical data and power their AI and analytics initiatives. Together we are transforming backup data from idle storage into a driver of innovation.”
