Cohesity Unveils Cohesity Gaia: A Breakthrough in AI-Powered Data Search

Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security and management, has announced Cohesity Gaia, the industry’s first generative AI-powered conversational search assistant designed to transform secondary data into actionable knowledge. Scheduled for general availability on March 15, Cohesity Gaia integrates Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) AI and large language models (LLMs) to enable users to access and analyze vast pools of enterprise data efficiently.

Enhancing Data Management with AI

Cohesity Gaia introduces advanced AI capabilities to the Cohesity Data Cloud, enabling enterprises to leverage generative AI for conversational search experiences across cloud and hybrid environments. By leveraging AI, Cohesity Gaia aims to provide deeper insights into data and facilitate informed decision-making, regardless of where the stored data resides.

Revolutionizing Backup Data Accessibility

Cohesity Gaia leverages Cohesity’s robust backup architecture to create AI-ready indexes for rapid conversational search and responses. This capability enables quick and accurate results, supporting Microsoft 365 and OneDrive data initially, with plans for expansion to more workloads over time.

Empowering Enterprises with Real-Time Data Access

The unique architecture of Cohesity Gaia ensures immediate access to indexed data without the need for backups to be reconstructed. This enables Cohesity Data Cloud to function like a data lake, providing businesses with real-time access to their data for analysis and decision-making.

Ensuring Data Security and Compliance

“Cohesity is the first data security and management vendor to bring the power of AI search to enterprises with the Cohesity Gaia AI search assistant. Gaia leverages generative AI with the latest RAG enhancements to enable conversational search across secondary protected data,” said Russ Fellows, vice president, The Futurum Group Labs. “Gaia enables companies to quickly leverage their existing stored data with the power of generative AI, while preserving data security and compliance. With Cohesity Gaia, customers can quickly turn data into insights, without the complexity of creating an AI application themselves, or worrying about their data privacy and security.”

Transforming Data into Knowledge

“Cohesity Gaia dramatically simplifies this process with our patent-pending approach using Retrieval Augmented Generation,” said Sanjay Poonen, CEO and President, Cohesity. “With Cohesity Gaia, for the first time in our industry, companies will be able to leverage generative AI to query their data in a virtually seamless way. Our approach delivers rapid, insightful results without the drawbacks of more manual and risky approaches. In short, it turns data into knowledge within seconds and minutes.”

Industry Recognition and Collaboration

“We are an international materials research and manufacturing company, with research centers in many locations, and our researchers speak different languages,” said Ryan Reed, head of IT Products and Services, JSR Corporation. “We want to be able to use generative AI to quickly discover if work done at one location might apply to other projects. Cohesity Gaia allows us to query our rich store of research data and quickly find relevant work. It will also allow our researchers to use their native language to query the system. This could prove incredibly valuable in accelerating the rate of our research and discovery.”
