Cohesity’s Ace Spotlight: Daniel Pilgrim, Director of Infrastructure Solutions at NetX Information Systems
At NetX Information Systems, success is built on a foundation of deep expertise, security-first thinking, and a commitment to customer outcomes. One of the leaders driving that mission forward is Daniel Pilgrim, Director of Infrastructure Solutions—and this month’s featured Cohesity’s Ace Spotlight.
Partnering for Success with Cohesity
NetX is a Cohesity Platinum Partner, focused on delivering secure, modern data protection solutions for mid-market and enterprise customers. Daniel leads the infrastructure solutions team, working hands-on with clients to address infrastructure and data protection challenges. His goal? To ensure each organization is resilient, compliant, and ready for whatever comes next.
Daniel’s journey with Cohesity started after years of experience with Veritas data protection and governance products. Following a strategic merger, he quickly earned his Cohesity certifications—and hasn’t looked back. Impressed by the platform’s robust security capabilities and intuitive user experience, Daniel and his team began leading with Cohesity as their primary data protection solution.
A Trusted, Customer-First Approach
Daniel’s approach is defined by transparency and trust. He and his team act as strategic advisors—taking the time to understand each customer’s pain points, requirements, and environment before recommending any solution. In today’s threat landscape, many customers are looking to modernize their backup and recovery strategies. With Cohesity’s advanced ransomware protection, immutable storage, and simplified management, it’s a natural fit for these modernization efforts.
“Be transparent with your customers and listen carefully to their needs,” Daniel advises.
“Understanding their pain points before offering solutions builds confidence—and lasting partnerships.”
A Real-World Success Story
One of Daniel’s most memorable projects involved a healthcare organization facing severe backup performance issues. Their backup windows were exceeding 30 hours, threatening their ability to meet SLAs. After a thorough review, Daniel’s team implemented an optimized solution using Cohesity—cutting backup time by 33%, down to under 20 hours. Not only did the solution meet SLA requirements, but it also introduced immutable storage, strengthening their defense against ransomware.
Beyond the Data Center
When he’s not designing secure infrastructure strategies, Daniel is preparing for an exciting personal milestone—volunteering at the 2025 FIFA Soccer Tournament in Cincinnati. As part of the ceremony team, he’s excited to contribute to a world-class event and connect with fans from around the globe.
