Episode notes
Strategic Corporate Investors Matter
- Sanjay Poonen described how NVIDIA and other corporate investors joined Cohesity alongside venture backers.
- He said having NVIDIA invest mattered more than an IPO because of the strategic partnerships it enabled.
Combine Strengths To Win Market Share
- Poonen argued the Veritas NetBackup acquisition filled geographic and market-share gaps for Cohesity.
- He said combining NetBackup's data mover with Cohesity's immutable platform created a market-leading, profitable-growth company.
Choose A Clear Migration Path
- If you're a Cohesity customer, expect faster innovation and more engineering resources without platform changes.
- If you're a NetBackup customer, you can keep NetBackup as a data mover while running it on Cohesity's platform and manage everything from one console.
