Cohesity Gaia integrates with Microsoft 365 Copilot

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Cohesity has announced that the integration of Cohesity Gaia with Microsoft 365 Copilot is now available.

The integration allows knowledge workers across an organization to tap into Cohesity backup data directly from the Microsoft 365 Copilot interface.

“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.

Cohesity Gaia combines generative AI, large language models, and retrieval augmented generation techniques. As part of the integration, users can enter conversational questions via their Microsoft 365 Copilot interface. Cohesity Gaia searches across vast amounts of backup data, pinpoints critical information, and surfaces actionable information for any department or job function. Granular, role-based access controls limit responses to align with user permissions, protecting sensitive data.

“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.”

Cohesity Gaia is a subscription-based service. Access to Cohesity Gaia capabilities within the Microsoft 365 Copilot is currently available at no additional cost for subscribers of both Cohesity Gaia and Microsoft 365 Copilot.
