Cohesity partners with Glean to bring more enterprise data to AI-powered work
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Cohesity, the leader in AI-powered data security, today announced a new partnership with Work AI leader Glean to become a fully integrated data source for the Glean platform. The partnership enables mutual customers to leverage high-quality backup data from Cohesity-protected workloads within Glean's platform, further expanding enterprise knowledge and AI-driven insights.
'Organizations struggle to manage and extract value from vast, diverse, and distributed data sources. Cohesity is breaking down the silos, helping them manage and secure data, wherever it lives, and providing new ways to use that data,' said Dr. Craig Martell, chief AI officer, Cohesity. 'We've broadened the utility of our platform to bring Cohesity backup data to other widely used AI tools and services, like the Glean's Work AI platform. Cohesity protects hundreds of exabytes of the world's data and many of our customers leverage Glean on a massive scale. By joining forces, we can deliver significant value to our mutual customers.'
The integration of Cohesity-protected data into the Glean platform is expected to be available for customers later this year and will unlock multiple benefits, including:
Broader data source access – extending Glean's connector capabilities to cover a wide variety of data sources protected by Cohesity, such as files stored on virtual machines, physical hosts, and NAS devices. The expanded reach will provide limitless search for users, based on permissions, across an entire data estate, unbound by system or storage architecture.
Search across historical data – enabling users to explore beyond the current state of data to access past versions of documents, including deleted files and other previously inaccessible data. Historical snapshots will offer a unique advantage, particularly in compliance, forensic investigations, and data recovery efforts.
No performance impact or increased costs – querying against backup copies of production application data allows production applications to remain in use without any performance degradation. Direct access to Cohesity backup data also eliminates the need for additional extraction, loading, and transformation tools.
File recovery and download – simplifying the search and download of current and historical backups directly from the Cohesity platform. If a document is inadvertently modified or deleted, users can pinpoint the precise version they need without relying on a manual retrieval process.
Granular access controls – allowing administrators to define who can search, access, and download data based on user role. Ensuring adherence to security policies and regulatory requirements will add another layer of security for protecting sensitive or confidential data.

Veeam announces new integration for Anthropic's MCP
Veeam® Software, the #1 global leader in data resilience, recently announced a major leap forward in unlocking the value of enterprise backup data for artificial intelligence (AI). At its annual VeeamON conference, the company unveiled new capabilities that enable AI systems to securely access and utilise data stored in Veeam repositories — powered by support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard developed by Anthropic. This marks a pivotal moment in Veeam's AI roadmap, turning data protection into a foundation for smarter decision-making, richer insights, and responsible AI innovation. With MCP, Veeam enables seamless integration between its trusted data resilience platform and customers' AI applications — allowing data that was once just stored to now drive real-time value. 'We're not just backing up data anymore — we're opening it up for intelligence,' said Niraj Tolia, CTO at Veeam. 'By supporting the Model Context Protocol, customers can now safely connect Veeam-protected data to the AI tools of their choice. Whether it's internal copilots, vector databases, or LLMs, Veeam ensures data is AI-ready, portable, and protected.' AI Insights from the Data Organisations Already Protect With MCP integration, customers can now use their backup data across a wide range of AI-powered use cases, including: Discovering and retrieving related documents with natural language queries Summarising conversations from archived emails or tickets Automating compliance and e-discovery processes Enriching AI agents and copilots with enterprise-specific context These capabilities extend far beyond technical convenience — they enable a step change in how organisations think about the strategic value of their stored data. Secure by Design. Smart by Default. As part of its AI roadmap, Veeam is delivering a comprehensive AI vision built on five pillars: AI Infrastructure Resilience: Safeguarding customers' investments in their AI infrastructure, ensuring that their applications, data, vector databases, and even models are as secure and resilient as other business-critical data.
