Cohesity and SoftBank announced a joint venture that ushers in modern data infrastructure in Japan, enabling Japanese enterprises to back up, store, manage and derive insights from all of their secondary data and applications through the Cohesity DataPlatform.
San Jose, Califonia-based storage software maker Cohesity is the leader of hyperconverged secondary storage and a portfolio company of SoftBank Vision Fund.
SoftBank will distribute and resell Cohesity solutions in Japan, along with other partners including Networld and ITOCHU Techno-Solutions. Solutions from Cohesity are available today to Japanese enterprises.
Cohesity and SoftBank share a belief that technology is fueling an Information Revolution and the impact of that revolution can transform industries around the world.

Cohesity provides technology that unlocks the power of secondary data and applications.
