Revenues Nearly Quadruple Year-over-Year, Customer Acquisition

Cohesity, the leader of hyperconverged
secondary storage, today announced that its revenues from fiscal
year (FY) 2018, which closed on July 31, increased 300 percent
year-over-year. The company also announced that it quadrupled the size
of its customer base compared to the previous fiscal year. And, as the
year progressed, more and more customers embraced Cohesity’s platform in
record numbers, with customer adoption accelerating 75 percent in the
fourth quarter compared to the third.
The company saw major customer adoption across a wide array of verticals
globally including financial services, healthcare, public sector, life
sciences, media and technology, telecommunications, and education. This
strong financial performance and customer momentum builds on the
company’s outstanding results from the previous
year and continues to validate the growing demand for Cohesity’s
disruptive technology that consolidates complex legacy infrastructure
onto a single platform that is optimized to manage secondary data and
applications at web scale.
“As more and more companies struggle with mass data fragmentation,
customers globally are looking for a radically different approach to
solve this problem,” said Mohit Aron, CEO and founder, Cohesity.
“Cohesity empowers customers to consolidate a patchwork of secondary
silos including backup, files and objects, test/dev, archiving,
analytics, and cloud with a platform that scales in a way no other
vendor can match. And with today’s announcement of Cohesity
Helios, we are empowering those customers to do more with their
data, providing new ways for organizations to generate value from their
untapped data while solving some of their biggest business challenges.”
Momentous Customer Growth

Cohesity added numerous marquee enterprise customers in FY 2018,
including Air Bud Entertainment, AutoNation, Beam Suntory, BC Oil and
Gas Commission, Bungie, Harris Teeter, Hyatt, Kelly Services,
LendingClub, Piedmont Healthcare, Schneider Electric, the San

Enterprises are increasingly selecting Cohesity to fuel their hybrid
cloud journey, with more than half of new deployments in the last
fiscal year embracing Cohesity’s technology that empowers companies to
easily store, protect, and manage data and apps in the cloud.
Continued Innovation That Delivers Business Value
-
Cohesity’s new SaaS-based management solution, Helios, builds on the Cohesity
DataPlatform and empowers customers to see, manage, and take
action on their secondary data and applications globally and to apply
powerful analytics and machine learning (ML) capabilities to generate
valuable insights from untapped data.
-
In February, Cohesity announced
that it expanded the use of its platform to handle file and object
storage. When combined with data protection and other critical
capabilities on the same platform, customers can achieve dramatically
lower infrastructure costs while simplifying data management -- a key
reason a growing share of Cohesity customers, like Manhattan
Associates, chose Cohesity over competitors. In fact, more than 60
percent of Cohesity’s customers utilize Cohesity for file services in
addition to the company’s backup offerings.
-
Cohesity unveiled deeper integrations with AWS,
Microsoft
Azure, and Google
Cloud, empowering enterprises to protect cloud-based applications
and expand on-premises file and object sharing onto public cloud
infrastructure. With AWS, Cohesity announced
that it has achieved Amazon
Web Services (AWS) Storage Competency status for its cloud storage
solutions.
-
Organizations can now leverage the public cloud for faster application
testing and development with automatic virtual machine (VM) conversion
with Cohesity
CloudSpin, announced in April.
Top-Tier Financial Backing for Rapid Growth
-
In June, Cohesity raised $250M in an oversubscribed Series
D funding round led by the SoftBank Vision Fund with strong
participation from strategic investors Cisco Investments, Hewlett
Packard Enterprise (HPE), and Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital. This
is only the second time SoftBank Investment Advisers has invested in
an enterprise software company.
-
Cohesity has raised $410 million in total equity and continues to
focus on large-scale global expansion, helping enterprises worldwide
attack a problem that organizations currently spend an estimated $60
billion each year to address using separate point solutions.
Channel / Partner Momentum
-
81 percent of Cohesity’s partners grew their business in excess of 100
percent in FY 2018, while 75 percent of Cohesity’s partners grew their
business by more than 200 percent. Cohesity remains 100 percent
channel focused.
-
Cohesity enhanced its partnerships with Cisco in FY 2018. Through this
partnership, Cohesity has integrated its software on Cisco Unified
Computing System (UCS), while also providing enterprise-class backup
and recovery for applications running on Cisco HyperFlex.
-
Cohesity also continued to advance its partnership with HPE in FY
2018, empowering more customers to take advantage of Cohesity’s
software on HPE ProLiant servers, simplifying secondary data
infrastructure while making data more productive.
