Druva's Solution Handles Data Availability and Governance on a Single Platform

Information protection and governance have traditionally been viewed as two separate processes and fall under completely different domains in many organizations. But as enterprises become increasingly distributed and mobile, handling data protection and availability alongside governance can be an efficient and cost effective approach.

Druva, Inc. provides a single platform for handling data backup, availability and governance through a central dashboard. With an increasing number of organizations moving large amounts of data outside of their data centers and into the cloud, having a streamlined solution to handle both business continuity and information governance makes a lot of sense.

“Whether you are a customer or a farmer or a consulting company, mobility and cloud are the biggest trends, probably in our lifetimes,” said Jaspreet Singh, founder and CEO of Druva. “And they are impacting not just how you do your business but how you also manage your information and what you do with it.” Singh spoke exclusively to TMCnet Group Editorial Director Erik Linask (News - Alert) at the recent Editors Day Santa Clara 2015 event.

Singh said that his customers’ main challenge is how to manage and protect all the information and data now residing outside the data center. Mobility, the cloud and increasingly distributed work environments are making it harder to manage and protect data.

“Even more compelling is the need for information availability and governance,” added Singh. Druva helps companies ensure their data is collected, preserved and able to be discovered outside of and independently of data centers. This is accomplished through a pure cloud-based service enabling instant accessibility along with long-term storage, on the same platform and at a single price point.

Last month Druva expanded its reach by announcing a cloud-based global MSP channel strategy. The move coincided with a new MSP management console for Druva’s inSync data availability and governance platform, as well as additional product capabilities. The company also simultaneously announced the PartnerSync program for MSPs, enabling service providers to offer Druva services easily and quickly.
