Overview
Cohesity is a privately held data-protection and data-security company led by President and CEO Sanjay Poonen. On 10 December 2024 it completed its combination with Veritas’ enterprise data-protection business, bringing Veritas NetBackup, NetBackup appliances and the Veritas Alta data-protection services into its portfolio alongside its own products[7]. The transaction was financed by a Series H round led by Haveli Investments, with Coatue, Sapphire Ventures and Dragon Fund also investing, and debt arranged by JPMorgan Chase; it valued the combined company at more than US$7 billion[7]. At completion Cohesity stated that it served more than 12,000 customers, including more than 85 of the Fortune 100 and nearly 70% of the Global 500, and described itself as the largest data-protection software provider by market share[7]. It made a “no customer left behind” commitment to support both the Cohesity and NetBackup product lines[7]. For disaster recovery this gives customers two established engines: NetBackup, long used in large heterogeneous data centres, and Cohesity’s own platform.
