NEC XON expands cyber resilience capabilities with Cohesity accreditation

NEC XON has been granted an accredited Cohesity Technical Support Partner Program (TSPP) status, enhancing its capacity to offer enterprise data protection, cyber resilience, and recovery solutions to African businesses. This accreditation enables NEC XON to resell, deploy, configure, and maintain Cohesity NetBackup solutions and appliances. Cohesity has also acknowledged NEC XON's status as a Preferred Partner, acknowledging the company's ongoing commitment to technical skills, certifications, and customer success.

This partnership is crucial as organizations face increasing ransomware threats, data growth, complex regulatory requirements, and hybrid cloud adoption. By integrating NEC XON's systems integration skills with Cohesity's data security and protection platform, customers receive local technical support, quicker response times, enhanced service continuity, and a streamlined approach to safeguarding essential business data.

John Dewar, General Manager of Enterprise Technology Solutions at NEC XON, emphasizes that the accreditation solidifies NEC XON's dedication to delivering top-notch data protection and cyber resilience solutions for African customers. He adds that a mere backup solution is no longer sufficient; customers now require assurance that their data is protected, recoverable, and accessible when needed most.

The collaboration with Cohesity allows NEC XON to merge advanced technology with profound local expertise, aiding customers in minimizing risk, fortifying resilience, and extracting more value from their data.

Kate Mollett, Regional Country Manager and Director for Cohesity in South Africa and the wider region, highlights that the TSPP Partner designation is vital for customer success. NEC XON's technical proficiency, customer-centric approach, and proven delivery capabilities make them a valuable asset to the Cohesity partner network, assisting organizations in modernizing their data protection and cyber resilience strategies.

This accreditation allows NEC XON to deliver more comprehensive technical guidance throughout the customer journey, from solution design and implementation to continuous operational support and optimization. The announcement follows Cohesity's acquisition of Veritas' Enterprise Data Protection division, forming one of the globe's largest data protection software providers by merging Cohesity's cutting-edge data security platform with NetBackup's established enterprise capabilities.

NEC XON is prepared to aid customers in navigating this transformation while preserving existing investments and accelerating data protection modernization efforts.
