Hyperconverged secondary data storage specialist Cohesity says it increased its total sales 300% for the year ending July 2018, and says 81% of it partners grew their business “in excess of 100%” in FY 2018, while 75% grew sales “by more than 200% percent”. US-headquartered Cohesity remains 100% channel focused and it entered the EMEA market at the end of 2016.
Cohesity enhanced its partnerships with Cisco in FY 2018. Cohesity has integrated its software on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), while also providing enterprise-class backup and recovery for applications running on Cisco HyperFlex.
It also continued to advance its partnership with HPE, empowering more customers to take advantage of Cohesity’s software on HPE ProLiant servers, simplifying secondary data infrastructure while “making data more productive”.
Both Cisco and HPE are investors in the firm, along with Google and Qualcomm. Cohesity doesn't actually publish its exact numbers, but founder and CEO Mohit Aron maintains the firm has strong momentum. He said: “As more and more companies struggle with mass data fragmentation, customers globally are looking for a radically different approach to solve this problem.
“Cohesity empowers customers to consolidate a patchwork of secondary silos, including backup, files and objects, test/dev, archiving, analytics and cloud, with a platform that scales in a way no other vendor can match.”
It has just announced the Cohesity Helios solution to help organisations generate more value from their data. Earlier this year, the company raised $250m in a Series D funding round to help build its global channel reach. Total equity raised by the company now stands at $410m.
