Druva: Reawakening data protection in the cloud

Druva logoAn Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

When I think of ‘data protection’ I sometimezzzz … dream of backup tapes … zzz … Wake up!

Druva is on a mission to be the SaaS vendor to rouse this once-stodgy technology category by bringing it forth in a new, cloud-first manner.

“Companies starting the cloud journey may think Data Protection is just about backups and disaster recovery, when they really should be thinking about data availability and risk,” says Druva CMO Thomas Been. “You shouldn’t squander the opportunity of cloud by introducing uncontrollable costs, or leaving your data at risk of becoming unavailable for customer-facing apps or compliance audits when you need it most.”

The fundamentals of data protection are all here: data discovery, secure in-memory movement of data, backup for data centers, databases, application stores and endpoints, disaster recovery, and compliance certifications.

However, by offering the solution in a unified SaaS platform built entirely on AWS, Druva delivers a low cost of ownership for expanding toward enterprise-wide data protection, while applying additional optimization and meta-level functionality on top of these often massive cloud data stores.

Their solution’s unified management interface naturally demonstrates storage, compute and bandwidth consumption and savings, while also offering several compliance and legal auditing controls, an enterprise text search for eDiscovery, and instant system or device-level refresh. Leading ITSM and application management solutions can also call on Druva functionality via integration APIs.
