Cohesity names Datacom APJ MSP Partner of the Year

Cohesity has named Datacom its APJ MSP Partner of the Year as part of its FY2026 Partner Awards.

Datacom received the Asia Pacific and Japan managed service provider award as Cohesity recognised partners across its regional and global channel network. The awards highlight businesses working with customers on cyber resilience, data protection and recovery from disruption.

The recognition covers Datacom's work across Australia and New Zealand, where it provides managed services alongside Cohesity's data security technology. The award reflects the partnership between the two companies and their joint work with customers in the region.

In the broader APJ awards, EDGE SHIELDS was named APJ Partner of the Year, Amigo Technologies Joint Stock Company won APJ Growth Partner of the Year, ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation was recognised as APJ Net-New Logo Partner of the Year, and ETEVERS was named APJ Distribution Partner of the Year.

Cohesity also announced a separate set of global awards covering security, artificial intelligence, cloud, distribution and systems integration. Winners included Semperis, Anthropic, HPE, AWS, TD SYNNEX, DXC, Accenture, Wipro and Fenix24.

It also selected regional managed service provider winners outside APJ, with Micrologic recognised in the Americas, Vivicta in EMEA and Axtel in LATAM.

Matthew Johnston, Senior Director - Partner Sales, Asia Pacific and Japan, Cohesity, said the regional winners had moved early to build services around cyber resilience.

"This year's winners across the region were among the first to recognise that cyber resilience would become a strategic priority for their customers, and they invested early to build that expertise," Johnston said.

"That early commitment has helped them grow alongside Cohesity, deepening their capabilities in AI and data security while forging closer relationships with customers across a region that's rapidly maturing its approach to cyber resilience. Congratulations to our winners on their continued leadership and impact."

Partner Program

Alongside the awards, Cohesity updated its Aspire Global Partner Program. The changes include broader earning opportunities, a new Professional Services specialisation, simplified training requirements, and greater visibility over training, certifications and billing through its partner portal.

Channel partner programs have become a key part of competition among cybersecurity and data protection vendors, particularly as customers look for managed services and external support to deal with ransomware, backup integrity and recovery planning. For providers such as Datacom, awards like this can support market positioning in enterprise and public sector accounts across Australia and New Zealand.

Sam Ereckson, Director - Operations ANZ, Datacom, said: "This recognition reflects the strength of Datacom's partnership with Cohesity and our shared commitment to helping organisations across Australia and New Zealand strengthen cyber resilience, protect critical data and recover quickly from disruption. By combining Cohesity's technology with Datacom's managed services expertise, we're helping customers build resilience, reduce risk and stay focused on what matters most to their business."
