Emerged from Stealth: Cloud Backup Reinvented

Eon is a cloud infrastructure backup startup founded by Ofir Ehrlich, Gonen Stein, and Ron Kimchi. Emerging from stealth with $127 million in funding, Eon is reinventing cloud backup with a next-generation platform designed to tackle the complexities of modern cloud environments. The founders, who previously led the development of disaster recovery and cloud migration services at AWS, recognized the shortcomings of traditional backup solutions, which rely heavily on general-purpose snapshots and make file restoration a time-consuming, inefficient process.

Eon's platform offers an automated solution, continuously scanning and mapping cloud resources, classifying data across services, and setting intelligent backup policies. It enables file-level restoration, eliminating the need to recover entire snapshots. The company also introduces cloud backup posture management (CBPM), providing organizations with a comprehensive view of their infrastructure and backups. By sitting on top of existing cloud services, Eon’s solution is not only more advanced but also more affordable.

The team’s deep expertise in cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity, combined with their history of building successful companies like CloudEndure, has attracted significant attention from venture capital firms. Sequoia Capital, along with other major investors, has backed Eon, recognizing its potential to transform how businesses approach cloud backup and disaster recovery.
