Led by Mohit Aron, CEO and founder, Cohesity provides a web-scale data management platform that aims to solve mass data fragmentation. The vast majority of enterprise data — backups, archives, file shares, object stores, and data used for dev/test and analytics — sits in fragmented infrastructure silos that make it hard to protect, expensive to manage, and difficult to analyse. The platform consolidates silos onto one web-scale platform, spanning from the data center to edge to cloud, and allows organizations to run apps on that platform, back up and extract insights from data.
