Cohesity partners with Glean to bring more enterprise data to AI-powered work

Integration of Cohesity-Protected Data into Glean’s Work Artificial Intelligence (AI) Platform Empowers Joint Customers with Expanded Access to Rich Enterprise Knowledge

Cohesity has announced a partnership with Glean to integrate Cohesity-protected data as a data source for Glean's platform. This collaboration permits mutual customers to utilize quality backup data from Cohesity-protected workloads within Glean’s platform, broadening access to enterprise knowledge and AI-driven insights.

“Organizations struggle to manage and extract value from vast, diverse, and distributed data sources. Cohesity is breaking down the silos, helping them manage and secure data, wherever it lives, and providing new ways to use that data,” said Disaster Recovery (DR). Craig Martell, chief AI officer, Cohesity. “We’ve broadened the utility of our platform to bring Cohesity backup data to other widely used AI tools and services, like Glean’s Work AI platform. Cohesity protects hundreds of exabytes of the world’s data and many of our customers leverage Glean on a massive scale. By joining forces, we can deliver value to our mutual customers.”

The integration of Cohesity-protected data into the Glean platform is expected to be available for customers later this year and will unlock multiple benefits, including:

• Broader data source access – extending Glean’s connector capabilities to cover a variety of data sources protected by Cohesity, such as files stored on virtual machines, physical hosts, and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. This expanded reach will provide limitless search for users based on permissions across an entire data estate.
• Search across historical data – enabling users to access past versions of documents, including deleted files and previously inaccessible data, which will be particularly useful for compliance, forensic investigations, and data recovery efforts.
• No performance impact or increased costs – querying against backup copies of production application data allows production applications to remain in use without performance degradation while eliminating the need for additional extraction, loading, and transformation tools.
• File recovery and download – simplifying the process of searching and downloading current and historical backups directly from the Cohesity platform.
• Granular access controls – enabling administrators to define who can search, access, and download data according to user roles for enhanced security and compliance.
