Helios is the first SaaS-based application on top of the Cohesity platform, something that was always part of the company’s vision, and which provides new data and app orchestration and management capabilities.
Palmer discusses why he joined the high-flying startup, as well as the measures he wants to take to enhance Cohesity’s global 100 per cent channel strategy.
The enhancements include a major improvement to the platform’s performance as well as the ability to now handle physical protection as well as virtual.
The aim of Cohesity, led by Nutanix’s original co-founder, is to disrupt the secondary storage market the same way Nutanix disrupted primary storage, and through a similar 100 per cent channel model.
