Commvault
Backup used to mean making a copy. Commvault is betting the harder, more valuable job is proving an entire business can come back clean - data, identities, applications and cloud infrastructure included.
StorONE
StorONE is a New York-based enterprise storage software company founded in 2011 by Gal Naor and Raz Gordon. Its ONE Storage Platform separates storage services from hardware, delivering block, file and object storage from a single, hardware-agnostic engine. By rewriting the storage stack from scratch, StorONE combines high performance, real-time auto-tiering across flash and HDD, immutable-snapshot ransomware recovery and per-drive licensing to help enterprises cut storage costs while running on commodity servers.
Gal Naor
Gal Naor is the co-founder and CEO of StorONE, a New York based enterprise storage company built on the idea that software, not more hardware, is the real bottleneck in data storage. He first made his mark in 2004 as co-founder of Storwize, which pioneered real-time enterprise storage compression and was acquired by IBM in 2010 for $140 million. Naor spent roughly six years and dozens of patents building StorONE's unified S1 storage engine, which provisions block, file and object storage from the same commodity drives at a fraction of legacy cost. He is known for a contrarian, efficiency-first philosophy and for steering StorONE to cash-flow positivity with an eye toward an eventual IPO.
Clumio
Clumio is a cloud-native, serverless backup-as-a-service platform built for AWS workloads. It protects data in Amazon S3, DynamoDB, RDS/Aurora, EC2/EBS and Apache Iceberg lakehouses with air-gapped, immutable backups and near-instant recovery at exabyte scale. Founded in 2017 by serial entrepreneur Poojan Kumar, Clumio raised roughly $261M before being acquired by Commvault in 2024, where its technology now anchors AWS cyber-resilience offerings.
Cohesity
Cohesity is a Santa Clara-based data security and management company that helps enterprises back up, protect, secure, and recover their data across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments. Founded in 2013 by Mohit Aron, it built a hyperscale platform to consolidate fragmented secondary data, and after merging with Veritas' enterprise data protection business in December 2024 it became the world's largest data protection software provider, serving roughly 13,000 organizations including most of the Fortune 500.
Rubrik
Rubrik is a Palo Alto-based cyber resilience company that helps organizations protect, recover, and secure their data across cloud, on-premises, and SaaS environments.

Founded in 2014 and public on the NYSE since 2024, Rubrik crossed $1 billion in subscription ARR and is pushing into AI-era data security.
