Cohesity announced a significant expansion to its seven-year strategic collaboration with HPE to further help customers improve cyber resilience, simplify hybrid cloud operations, and recover faster from disruption. The enhanced alliance introduces new resell agreements, deepens technical integrations, and strengthens joint go-to-market execution.
Together, HPE and Cohesity are aligning infrastructure, data protection, and recovery into a more comprehensive portfolio, enabling organisations to operate with greater confidence across on-premises, cloud, and edge environments.
Joint offerings and technology integration
- Cohesity to resell HPE Zerto Software
Cohesity will begin reselling HPE Zerto, offering customers continuous data protection (CDP) and near-instant recovery for virtualised and cloud workloads. By combining Zerto’s ultra-low RPO and RTO recovery with Cohesity’s AI-powered data security and cyber recovery platform, customers can protect applications continuously and recover rapidly from ransomware and operational outages. - HPE to resell Cohesity DataProtect and Cohesity NetBackup
HPE will continue to resell Cohesity DataProtect as a modern data protection platform with purpose-built HPE storage and computer servers. In addition, HPE will begin reselling Cohesity NetBackup, optimised for deployment with modern, disaggregated backup and storage architectures, including HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 and HPE StoreOnce systems. - Deepened integration with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software for virtualisation and unified cloud management
Cohesity will deepen integration and enhance support for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials and HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software, to ensure enterprises are ready to deploy Cohesity solutions with HPE’s virtualisation and unified cloud management solutions. Availability is planned for mid-2026.
Strengthening a proven strategic alliance
“Across the Middle East, enterprises are rethinking how they protect, manage, and recover data across increasingly distributed hybrid cloud environments,” said Johnny Karam, Managing Director and Vice President, International Emerging Regions, Cohesity. “As digital transformation accelerates in markets such as the UAE, resilience is no longer only about backup. It is about ensuring organisations can maintain continuity, reduce disruption, and recover with confidence. Our expanded collaboration with HPE brings together trusted hybrid cloud infrastructure and AI-powered data security to help customers simplify operations, strengthen resilience, and protect the critical data that underpins their business.”
“Together, Cohesity and HPE are helping organisations modernise data protection while improving resilience and operational efficiency across hybrid and multicloud environments,” said Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Hybrid Cloud, and CTO, HPE. “This collaboration supports a simplified hybrid cloud operating model that secures and manages data wherever it lives, with greater performance and flexibility.”
To underscore the momentum of the relationship, HPE recently secured one of the most significant federal hybrid cloud modernisation initiatives in the United States with the Defence Information Systems Agency (DISA). DISA selected HPE to deploy a secure, sovereign cloud architecture leveraging HPE GreenLake with integrated data protection capabilities. The solution unifies fragmented legacy environments into a modern, cyber-resilient hybrid cloud supporting multiple security domains. Cohesity provides data protection and cyber resilience capabilities across the platform.
This programme represents a long-term, large-scale agreement awarded to HPE, with Cohesity delivering data protection capabilities through a flexible, consumption-based model aligned with HPE GreenLake. The selection establishes Cohesity as a key provider of data protection capabilities for the programme.
Regional momentum
Cohesity recently named HPE as Cohesity’s FY25 Europe OEM Partner of the Year, thanks to 177% year-over-year growth in software sales and major joint customer wins across leading European institutions. The expanded collaboration announced today builds on this momentum and reflects the increasing demand for integrated Cohesity-HPE solutions across the region and globally.
Availability
These offerings, including Cohesity’s resale of HPE Zerto and HPE’s resale of Cohesity NetBackup, are now available through authorised HPE and Cohesity partners.
