Before Cohesity Gaia, extracting actionable insights from organizational backup data was a complex and time-consuming task. The integration with Microsoft 365 Copilot simplifies this process, allowing users to access and analyze vast amounts of stored data, including emails, documents, and spreadsheets, directly within the familiar Copilot interface. “Massive business insights lie dormant in organizations’ backup data. Before Cohesity Gaia, it was virtually impossible to extract that data and use it to draw any actionable conclusions,” said Gregory Statton, vice president of AI solutions, Cohesity.
Cohesity Gaia leverages generative AI, large language models (LLMs), and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) techniques to deliver a first-to-market solution for backup data analysis. Users can input conversational queries, such as searching for specific contract terms or compliance-related documents, and Gaia provides context-aware, synthesized responses in seconds. This capability streamlines workflows and enhances productivity across departments like HR, finance, and legal.
The integration embeds Gaia’s capabilities within Microsoft 365 Copilot, ensuring a consistent user experience without the need for additional tools or complex navigation. “Generative AI has created a tipping point for enterprise AI deployments. The next phase of this journey will involve more AI-to-AI communications and expectations for transformative business outcomes,” said Chantrelle Nielsen, group product manager, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft. This partnership enhances the accessibility of high-quality backup data, driving faster and more informed decision-making.
Data security remains a priority, with Cohesity Gaia enforcing granular, role-based access controls to ensure users only access data aligned with their permissions. This is critical for regulated industries and multinational organizations, where compliance with data privacy laws is essential. Cohesity’s solutions are trusted by over 13,600 enterprise customers, including 85 of the Fortune 100, underscoring its reliability in secure data management.
The partnership between Cohesity and Microsoft strengthens organizational cyber resilience while unlocking new opportunities for data-driven innovation. “Cohesity and Microsoft continue to build on their partnership, working together to safeguard data and strengthen organizations’ cyber resilience,” said Jared Crowley, senior director of Security & Software Partners, SHI International Corp. This integration, available at no additional cost for subscribers of both Cohesity Gaia and Microsoft 365 Copilot, maximizes the value of existing investments in both platforms.
This collaboration marks a significant step in transforming backup data into a strategic asset, enabling enterprises to harness AI for smarter, faster, and more secure decision-making across all corporate functions.
