USA: Cloud data protection and management solutions provider, Druva has announced Druva Cloud Platform, a unified control plane for data management services across endpoint, server, and cloud application data.

"The acceleration of data growth and continued storage fragmentation, combined with surmounting pressures from malicious threats, loss, and corruption, and increasing regulatory requirements has raised stewardship complexity beyond reasonable cost and manageability. With this as a backdrop, global enterprises need a fresh approach to simplify the modern enterprise data strategy," said Jaspreet Singh, Co-Founder and CEO of Druva.

"The Druva Cloud Platform is designed to mitigate this complexity and cost by providing data protection, governance, and intelligence across the full data footprint of the enterprise - all delivered as a service, something organizations have been trying to achieve for years, but only truly possible with a cloud-native approach that delivers the elasticity and compute necessary to meet these needs."

The company claims that by centralizing the visibility and control over enterprise-wide data, Druva Cloud Platform can dramatically reduce data risks, as well as the costs of data protection by more than 60 percent.

The as-a-Service model of the Druva Cloud Platform eliminates the need for ever-expanding, dedicated hardware and storage infrastructure that drive up total cost of ownership, and the associated software that must replicate data between systems to address discrete data challenges (e.g., backup, disaster recovery, compliance, eDiscovery, analytics). With server, endpoint, cloud workload, and application data uniquely optimized as a single, globally de-duplicated data set, and natively managed in the cloud, companies can achieve global visibility and policy management across all their data from a single control plane.

The Druva Cloud Platform is powered by the cloud technologies that deliver accessibility and scale, including features such as time-indexed metadata, global scale-out de-duplication, auto-tiering, RESTful APIs for access and ecosystem integration, and highly elastic search and analytics capabilities.

The platform brings together the management and orchestration of the entire data footprint of the organization for data protection, governance, and intelligence to ensure data is properly stewarded for recoverability, accessibility, compliance alignment, legal data response, and workload mobility regardless of the data primary source location.

The new engine leverages heuristics and machine learning to optimize and auto-tune data protection policies, therefore breaking the traditional static approach of yesteryear. This new model for machine learning results in significantly shorter backup windows and achieves much more efficient utilization of IT resources.

Druva's new storage engine provides a unified data fabric across platform services, consistency of SLAs, and simplified data flow between services. Search, deletion, recovery, compliance monitoring, and more are applicable across the full data set versus the disparate, often proprietary, stored silos of information that organizations have grown accustomed.

Additionally, Druva Cloud Platform stores data in a security-first design that offers global regulation adherence for standards like HIPAA, SOC-2, and at FedRAMP.
