Searching your company’s data is a necessary first step in putting the information to good use, but it’s a big, labor-intensive lift. After plucking the most obvious details from different data silos, you sift through the results to weed out what you don’t need, run the searches again to be sure you didn’t miss something important, generate a summary or a full-blown report, and then deliver it to the people who will review it for further action.

You can now begin what is thought of as the actual work.

Cohesity wants to trim those time-intensive tasks, getting you to the finish line faster with the information you need to make smarter business decisions. They designed the new Cohesity Gaia platform to do just that, with a secure, private AI assistant to search large amounts of data quickly. Gaia’s conversational search delivers insights using your organization’s knowledge across multiple data types and locations without all the manual steps.

Ensure compliance with tailored automation capabilities

One of Gaia’s biggest strengths is in the compliance and audit space. When your business is audited—or even if you’re just doing trial runs to keep things ready—you often start by bringing the auditing and compliance teams together to discuss data consistency and compliance across discrete record types. In healthcare organizations, for example, that could mean looking for data privacy concerns. Using Gaia, one simple query can return the information you need to satisfy an auditor faster and with far less effort than a traditional search process. You might ask, “Were there any HIPAA violations in the past 30 days? If so, please generate a report and send it to my team.” You have now offloaded three tasks to Cohesity:

1. Identify if there was a HIPAA violation within the specified timeframe.
2. Generate a report based on potential HIPAA violations that surfaced in the search.
3. Send that report to the team.

Using your organization’s existing workflows as the foundation, Gaia enables you to explicitly define what a violation is based on your use case. You can also provide other details to build contextual elements unique to your environment, including who’s on each team and how to format the report. It’s easy to accommodate different industry requirements and compliance frameworks, and as your business evolves and regulations change, you can refine and redefine your Gaia search experience. At each step, the solution optimizes and accelerates manual tasks, quickly providing the information you need in a format you can use. Your team can then review the results for accuracy and completeness, enabling you to apply human expertise where it’s most needed.

Get trusted answers from the data that matters most

Today, Cohesity Gaia can analyze data in Microsoft 365 e-mail and OneDrive files. With many organizations storing millions of e-mails and potentially hundreds of millions of files, Gaia empowers you to gain insights from your key data repositories. Think about quickly querying all those messages without clicking individual folders or user profiles to find the information you want. But Cohesity doesn’t just go out and look for specific data or search for a particular compliance request in OneDrive. It also completes tasks by uniting your data and serving up answers in a way that helps you to make swift decisions and move forward. For Microsoft 365 e-mail and OneDrive environments, Gaia represents a meaningful transition toward productive actions.

Additional data sets, including NAS, will soon be available for use with Gaia. In time, we expect the sphere to widen further to encompass SharePoint, virtual machines, and other data locations. If Gaia doesn’t yet fit your use case, chances are good it will soon, as the solution’s reach into the data center for automated response continues to grow.

Capture more value from your corporate AI initiatives

Gaia easily integrates into existing corporate LLMs and AI initiatives, building on the work you’ve already done and compounding the returns on your investments. For businesses interested in forward-looking technologies and opportunities to apply AI more strategically, we believe Cohesity Gaia is something to watch as its capabilities mature. It’s still new to the stack, but it’s an up-and-coming solution with tremendous potential to revolutionize how you interact with your data. In the long term, we think enterprises with the vision to build around Gaia’s robust feature set could find themselves ahead of their peers.
