Cohesity Gaia self-managed on Cisco UCS

Cohesity Gaia Self-managed activates the on-prem enterprise data you already protect in the Cohesity Data Cloud—for AI, fully inside your environment. Using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise, Gaia transforms unstructured on-prem enterprise data into an AI-ready knowledge layer—queryable through a conversational interface in the Cohesity Data Cloud and accessible to your own GenAI workflows via API—no data movement, no duplication, no new ETL pipelines.

With Gaia, you can:

• Query your protected data in natural language: Use plain language through a query interface in the Cohesity Data Cloud—citation-backed, RBAC-enforced, running entirely in your environment.
• Power your own GenAI workflows: Feed governed on-prem data into custom agents, internal assistants, and enterprise applications through MCP and API.
• Preserve governance: Inherit existing RBAC, file-level permissions, and audit controls—data stays where it is, under the policies you already enforce.

Cisco is uniquely positioned to provide three enablers of AI success:

• Optimized AI Infrastructure with NVIDIA-powered compute, robust and flexible networking, and AI Management Software.
• End-to-end AI Security that provides unmatched protection of infrastructure, workloads, and devices.
• Real-time AI Observability with visibility that ensures reliable and optimized operations.

Together, Cohesity, Cisco, and NVIDIA deliver a turnkey sovereign AI stack: Cisco for validated infrastructure, NVIDIA AI Enterprise for accelerated AI compute and software, and Cohesity for the governed data layer. AI can now run inside your environment, under your control, and on your own private data.
