Cohesity is a startup based in San Jose, founded in 2013 by Mohit Aron, who also happens to be the co-founder and former CTO of Nutanix. Mohit Aron has embedded the spirit of distributed architectures and hyperconverged technologies into Cohesity's DNA- the result is a distributed scale-out hyperconverged platform that focuses on secondary storage needs.
Cohesity's mission is to eliminate secondary storage silos and provide an all-encompassing single solution. Secondary storage is a market with a much larger need for capacity than primary storage. In fact, up to 80% of all the data generated in the world qualifies for secondary storage and so far there is no established leader in the secondary storage market, which is a massive opportunity for Cohesity!
