Cohesity Gaia delivers conversational search for backup data to M365 Copilot
Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, is announcing an integration between Cohesity Gaia—Cohesity’s AI-powered enterprise search assistant—and Microsoft 365 Copilot. This integration makes Cohesity’s backup data searchability accessible directly from the Microsoft 365 Copilot interface, driving rapid insights and better, more informed decision making.
Cohesity Gaia, which utilizes a combination of generative AI (GenAI), large language models (LLMs), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), transforms the way users search backup data within Microsoft 365 Copilot. The integration allows users to ask Copilot questions in natural language, where Cohesity Gaia then searches large volumes of backup data and surfaces critical, actionable information across any department or job function.
“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. Now that customers can mine this resource with ease, we believe these deeper insights will be transformational,” said Gregory Statton, vice president of AI solutions, Cohesity. “By unifying Cohesity Gaia with a widely adopted tool like Microsoft 365 Copilot, we’re helping customers make the most of their stored data, empowering use cases enterprise wide.”
Additionally, the integration offers granular, role-based access controls that ensure responses adhere to user permissions, protecting sensitive data, according to the companies.
“Cohesity and Microsoft continue to build on their partnership, working together to safeguard data and strengthen organizations’ cyber resilience. This integration extends the value proposition even further to bring new benefits by instantly putting high-quality backup data at the fingertips of users across the enterprise,” said Jared Crowley, senior director of security and software partners, SHI International Corp. “The end result is faster, better decision making and fresh opportunities for maximizing customers’ investments in Cohesity and Microsoft.”
“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. “Microsoft 365 Copilot integration with Cohesity reflects this progression, giving enterprises more ways to take advantage of AI from the convenience of a single interface with a consistent user experience.”
