The awards honour partners driving growth, customer impact and innovation in data security, cyber resilience and AI, with Sonata Information Technology, IS NET ELEKTRONIK BILGI and V-PRO SERVICES among the emerging-market winners.
Cohesity has announced its FY2026 Partner Award winners, recognising organisations across its global and regional ecosystem for their contributions to business growth, customer outcomes and the evolving demands of data security and cyber resilience.
The awards cover a broad range of partners, including alliances, distributors, resellers, global systems integrators and managed service providers. They reflect the growing role of channel partners as enterprises expand beyond traditional data protection to address cyber recovery, security and AI-related priorities.
In the emerging-markets category, Sonata Information Technology was named Emerging Partner of the Year, while IS NET ELEKTRONIK BILGI received the Emerging Growth Partner of the Year award. V-PRO SERVICES was recognised as Emerging Net-New Logo Partner of the Year, and Tech Data Advanced Private Limited won Emerging Distribution Partner of the Year.
Hassan Aoun, Senior Channel Director, International Emerging Region at Cohesity, said the recognised partners had invested early in developing cyber resilience expertise as customer priorities evolved. Their commitment, he added, has helped them strengthen their capabilities in AI and data security while building closer customer relationships across the region.
Remi Andjiemien, CEO and Founder of V-PRO SERVICES, said the recognition was both an acknowledgement of the partnership and motivation to expand business opportunities, strengthen market presence and create greater value for both organisations.
The global awards highlighted contributions across security, AI, cloud, distribution and systems integration. Semperis was named Global Security Accelerator Partner of the Year, while Anthropic won Global AI Accelerator Partner of the Year. HPE received the Global Alliance Partner of the Year award, AWS was named Global Cloud Partner of the Year, and TD SYNNEX won Global Distribution Partner of the Year.
Among global systems integrators, DXC received the Strategic Partner of the Year award, Accenture won Growth Partner of the Year, and Wipro was recognised for Innovation. Fenix24 was named Global MSP Strategic Partner of the Year.
The awards follow enhancements to Cohesity’s Aspire Global Partner Program, which the company says is designed to support partner growth and market expansion. Updates include broader earning opportunities, additional specialisations such as Professional Services, streamlined training requirements and improved visibility into training, certification and billing through the partner portal.
These changes aim to help partners develop differentiated services, accelerate go-to-market initiatives and respond to customers’ changing requirements for data protection, cyber resilience and AI.
Cohesity’s FY2026 ran from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2026. The awards underline the strategic importance of partner ecosystems as organisations seek to strengthen data security, improve recovery readiness and adopt AI while managing operational risk.
