Cohesity focuses on building application ecosystem as investors back transition to software.
When Cohesity Inc. announced that it secured a new $250 million round of funding last year, it was not so much the amount of money that attracted notice as the major names involved. Noted investors SoftBank Vision Fund, Morgan Stanley and Sequoia Capital Operations LLC generated attention along with funding from Cisco Investments and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.
The successful funding round added further validation that the landscape for enterprise computing was shifting toward firms such as Cohesity, which were taking aim at data management in the enterprise.
“With Cohesity, there’s a radical transformation taking place in the infrastructure and someone’s got to innovate because innovators today are not coming from the incumbents,” said Carl Eschenbach (pictured, left), partner at Sequoia Capital Operations LLC. “As Cohesity has transitioned from being an appliance solution to being a software and data management platform and moving its software to other partners, it’s been amazing to see that transformation happen.”
Eschenbach spoke with John Furrier (@furrier), host of theCUBE, at SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio in Palo Alto, California. He was joined by Lynn Lucas (pictured, right), chief marketing officer of Cohesity, and they discussed Cohesity’s continued focus on applications and the firm’s interest in developing its partner ecosystem (see the full interview with transcript here). (* Disclosure below.)
Growing partnerships
Earlier this month, Cohesity announced the release of CyberScan, a new application powered by Tenable Inc. and designed to leverage backup data in vulnerability assessment. The news added another element to Cohesity’s evolving partner ecosystem.
“The other piece of the ecosystem that we’re now developing is the applications,” Lucas said. “That’s unique to Cohesity really redefining data management. We’re developing these ecosystem partnerships in new ways with application providers.”
The announcement with Tenable was just the latest in a string of expanded ecosystem moves by Cohesity. Over the past six months, the company partnered with Amazon Web Services Inc. to support GovCloud, unveiled a new software as a service solution for applications running on Google Cloud, and joined Cisco Systems Inc.’s SolutionsPlus program to offer primary and secondary data solutions.
All of this was in addition to its extensive customer ties through VMware Inc.
“You have to partner with people on the southbound side and northbound side of the platform because everything is going to go through a platform,” Eschenbach said. “Look at the partnership [Cohesity has] with VMware. They have ready certification across vSAN, the infrastructure platform, vCloud Director, AWS, you name it. They’ve done a really good job of navigating the ecosystem and building off of it.”
