Open letter to customers

To our valued customers,

Today marks an exciting milestone for Cohesity as we officially combine with Veritas’ enterprise data protection business. This strategic move ushers in a new era of protecting the world’s data, and we’re proud that the largest organizations rely on us for their business resilience. I’m honored to lead Cohesity, now the world’s largest data protection provider, as its CEO and President.

We understand the trust you’ve placed in both Cohesity and Veritas as your data resilience partners. I want to personally assure you that our commitment to safeguarding your data is unwavering. The strength and expertise of both organizations are now fully united, and we’re more committed than ever to ensuring that your current solutions continue to meet and exceed your expectations, both during the transition and in the future.

The combined company will remain focused on delivering the most comprehensive, scalable, and secure data protection available. Our combined workforce of over 5,000 employees is united in our mission to protect, secure, and provide insights into the world’s data.

Our cloud scale, AI-powered data security solutions provide the industry’s broadest range of workload support across all deployment models and environments—on-prem, cloud, and across multiple clouds. We manage hundreds of exabytes of data globally, giving us the unique ability to provide valuable insights based on that vast data footprint. With the largest partner ecosystem in the industry, we offer unmatched support and coverage, ensuring your data is well-protected and secure no matter where it resides.

Rest assured, how you work with us will not change: In most cases, you’ll continue working with the same Sales, Support, and Services teams over the next few months, ensuring continuity. As our team evolves, we’ll keep you informed of any changes.

When we announced our intent to bring the two companies together in February, our joint public statement outlined our product strategy and roadmap, and I want to reaffirm that these plans remain unchanged. The solutions you rely on today will continue to be available and supported for many years to come.

As we move forward together, we want to reassure you that No Customer Will Be Left Behind. Our focus on product innovation and customer obsession will guide everything we do—we deeply value the trust you’ve placed in us.

In addition to the positive conversations I’ve had with customers, we’re also seeing a lot of excitement for our combination from industry leaders. For example, you may have seen this quote from NVIDIA’s CEO, Jensen Huang, in our press release:

“We want to congratulate Cohesity on completing their Veritas acquisition. NVIDIA is excited to partner with Cohesity as they build their GenAI products on top of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise. Cohesity is backing up and protecting the world’s data – a goldmine of business value that customers can unlock with GenAI.”

Industry excitement aside, today is about you. I’m genuinely excited about the future and look forward to working alongside you as we strive to earn your business daily.
Best regards,

Sanjay Poonen

Cohesity CEO and President
