Eon, the next-generation cloud data backup platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to accelerate enterprise data analytics and spur greater AI adoption by businesses. Eon’s autonomous cloud backup platform turns cloud backups into data lakes, enabling organizations to easily access their data and harness it for new insights and capabilities through Google Cloud’s data analytics and AI tools.
“Our unique storage platform automates backups and transforms them to accessible data lakes, making data backups instantly available for the first time,” said Ofir Ehrlich, CEO and co-founder of Eon. “This empowers businesses to further AI adoption by harnessing their data for smarter real-time decision-making. Customers can now run analytics and get insights directly on database backups.”
“Eon is pioneering an innovative approach to helping customers make their cloud backup and migration processes simpler and more helpful with AI,” said Darren Mowry, Managing Director, Global Startups at Google Cloud. “We’re thrilled that the Eon team has chosen Google Cloud AI and data analytics capabilities to underpin their product and look forward to supporting the team as they scale.”
