Comments
The company’s 2017 achievements have been spearheaded by storage innovator and Cohesity Founder Mohit Aron, who has established himself as the “father of hyperconvergence.” He has more than 15 years of experience in building scalable, high-performance distributed systems — first at Google, where he was a lead developer on the Google File System and then as a co-founder of Nutanix.

“Cohesity is leading a massive transformation of the data center, converging silos of storage across the data center and multi-cloud environments, helping IT become more efficient, reduce costs, and do more with their data for their organizations,” said Mohit Aron, chief executive officer and founder, Cohesity. “The results of the last year have far exceeded our expectations, showing that hyperconverged secondary storage has transitioned from a groundbreaking new technology in 2016 to a critical, enterprise business solution in 2017.”
