London-based Cohesity, an AI-powered data security and management company, has unveiled a mew patent-pending visual data exploration tool, integrated into its Cohesity Gaia platform.
Cohesity Gaia is Cohesity’s first-to-market AI-powered search assistant, launched in February this year. The tool aims to help businesses unlock insights from unstructured data by visually categorising themes and suggesting relevant queries. The platform now supports a wider range of data sources, including Microsoft 365 and various file servers.
One of the biggest challenges users face when working with vast datasets is having access to data but not knowing where to begin or what valuable insights can be retrieved. Cohesity Gaia overcomes this by automatically providing a visual representation of the data, sorted by themes, giving users a clear starting point. The new visual explorer uses topic modelling, a set of advanced AI techniques with natural language processing, to instantly identify hidden thematic structures across documents and files. This deep insight and context into the nature of the data offers a framework for better understanding, empowering users to ask more informed and targeted questions as they search.
The Gaia data explorer further simplifies this process by allowing users to click through each theme, ask conversational questions, and interact with intelligent, context-aware prompts to quickly find the most relevant information. Aligned with Cohesity’s responsible AI commitment, Gaia gives customers insight into their data while keeping it secure and compliant with regulatory requirements.
Cohesity will host a series of AI workshops to give customers and prospects a hands-on look at the first-of-its-kind data explorer and learn more about how Cohesity Gaia can help unlock new insights from their business.
Craig Martell, CTO, Cohesity, commented: “We developed Cohesity Gaia because we believe that companies should be able to unlock valuable insights from the data they’re spending so much time and so many resources to protect. It should be easy for business users to ask a question of their data and get an accurate, useful result, even if the data resides in disparate locations and different systems or how far back in history it goes. That is the promise of what Cohesity Gaia will deliver.”
The visual data explorer and support for new data sources and workloads were made available in the October release of Cohesity Gaia.
