Cohesity Expands AI-Powered Data Security to On-Premises Environments

Built with NVIDIA AI, Cohesity Solution Features Validated Reference Architectures for Use with Cisco UCS, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Nutanix

Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, is expanding its enterprise knowledge discovery assistant, Cohesity Gaia, to deliver one of the industry’s first AI search capabilities for backup data stored on-premises. The solution will be available for use with Cisco UCS, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and Nutanix. This expansion enables enterprises to uncover AI-powered insights by unlocking the full potential of their on-premises backup data.

Overview

As enterprises increasingly adopt hybrid cloud strategies, many prefer to have valuable, critical data remain on-premises to meet security, compliance, and performance requirements. Extending Cohesity Gaia to data stored on-premises empowers enterprises to tap into more high-quality data and remain fully in control of their infrastructure.

Benefits of Cohesity Gaia

• Complete control and security – allowing enterprises to retain full control over backup data while harnessing AI to extract meaningful insights.
• High-performance AI with NVIDIA accelerated computing – delivering the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of AI capabilities using accelerated computing
• Multi-lingual indexing and querying – allowing global enterprises to search and analyze data in multiple languages.
• Customizable and scalable infrastructure – making it easy for customers to tailor their data intelligence environment to specific business needs.
• Reference architectures – providing a prescriptive way for enterprises to deploy the solution on-premises across multiple hardware platforms.
• Pre-packaged on-premises LLMs – eliminating the need for any customer backup data to be transferred to the cloud.
• Optimized architecture – enabling efficient searches of petabyte-level volumes of data.

Industry Partnerships

Cohesity is collaborating with data security, infrastructure, and AI industry leaders to bring Gaia to enterprises worldwide. Cisco, HPE, and Nutanix will be among the organizations that can offer Cohesity Gaia software with their full-stack solutions. Cohesity and Cisco will validate and deploy Cohesity Gaia Software on Cisco AI PODs—plug-and-play AI infrastructure stacks that integrate compute, storage, networking, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise to simplify adoption with scalable, efficient, and future-ready deployment. Cohesity and HPE will work together to validate and deploy Cohesity Gaia Software on HPE Private Cloud AI, a turnkey, cloud-based solution co-developed with NVIDIA.
