Eon raised $300M Series D at a $4B valuation to transform dormant cloud backups into AI-ready data lakes. Founded by the team behind AWS Disaster Recovery, their Cloud Backup Posture Management platform converts static backup data into queryable assets, reducing costs 30-50% while enabling AI training and analytics.
