Cohesity earns top Cisco award for durable growth & innovation
Cohesity has been named the Top Durable Growth and Innovation Partner for the Cisco SolutionsPlus programme for the 2025 financial year.
The award highlights Cohesity's revenue growth, collaborative customer projects, and newly developed solutions delivered in partnership with Cisco.
Programmeme overview
The Cisco SolutionsPlus programme allows customers to purchase certified partner solutions directly from Cisco's sales network. Each product undergoes a technical validation process before being added to the SolutionsPlus portfolio to ensure compatibility and performance standards.
Joint achievements
Cohesity's participation in the programme has included integrating its technology with Cisco's security platforms such as SecureX and XDR.
The partnership also covers integration with Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System. Several Cisco Validated Designs (CVDs) have been jointly developed to address data protection and security needs for customers.
The companies are set to expand their collaboration with the planned launch of Cohesity Gaia software on Cisco AI PODs. These systems are designed to simplify adoption of AI-powered infrastructure by integrating compute, storage, networking, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise into a single stack. This development aims to provide scalable and efficient deployment for enterprise clients seeking to enhance their AI capabilities.
Customer benefits
The SolutionsPlus programme allows organisations to consolidate support and procurement processes for "Cisco Compatible" products. Joint solutions from Cohesity and Cisco can be sourced directly, enabling access to unified support channels and simplified integration into existing IT environments. The technical validation required for programme inclusion is intended to provide assurance around interoperability, performance, and ongoing service support.
Award rationale
The award recognises Cohesity's growth trajectory, joint projects with Cisco, and the expansion of the partnership's product portfolio over the past three years.
It acknowledges continued demand for integrated solutions in areas such as data management, ransomware defence, and enterprise AI infrastructure.
"Security is a team effort, and this recognition reflects the strength of the partnership and years of collaboration between our two organisations," said James Eagleton, Managing Director, Cohesity Australia & New Zealand. "Here in Australia, our focus with Cisco is simple - make it easier than ever for customers to access end-to-end data protection and ransomware defence, and ensure they can get the support they need through one streamlined, integrated programme."
