Products

Druva inSync

Druva inSync is a highly scalable solution for the mobile workforce and converges data availability (backup, restore, and share) and data governance (DLP, eDiscovery enablement, tamper-proof audit trails, and compliance management via full text search and alerts)[16] into a single platform across end-user information on endpoints and cloud applications.[17] Druva inSync offers both on-premises and Cloud options with the vast majority of all new businesses deployed in the cloud.[18] inSync added private cloud capabilities in 2013, adding scalability and flexibility for large enterprises.[19]

Druva has been aiming to go beyond simple backup by offering an integrated end user data protection and management solution. The company was early to market with a unified platform for endpoint backup, sync and share, mobile support, and data loss prevention (DLP). It has since added more compliance and governance and analytics capabilities, as well as backup capabilities for cloud file sync and share applications.[20] Druva supports AWS (Amazon) and Azure (Microsoft) global data centers as backup storage destinations to expand its global presence and to meet regional data residency laws and regulations.[21]

Druva Phoenix

Druva Phoenix is a cloud-based solution for data backup and restore needs of distributed servers. Phoenix leverages upon the reliability of the Amazon Web Services infrastructure to ensure elastic scalability and tight security for server data needs.[23] Phoenix uses the same underlying cloud architecture as inSync but is optimized for server data sets and supports both physical and virtual server environments. Druva Phoenix has application-specific agents for server workloads such as Microsoft SQL Server and provides a proxy-based solution for VMware VSphere, additional agents are expected in the next release.[24]

On February 2, 2016,[25] Druva announced Disaster Recovery (DR) functionality to extend its converged cloud-based data protection solution for Druva Phoenix. Phoenix’s DR capability enables organizations to continuously back up their VMware environments, and automatically recover and spin-up their virtual machines in the AWS public cloud when disaster strikes, ensuring business continuity and eliminating the need for additional dedicated on premises software, storage or hardware, significantly reducing cost and improving agility.[26]
