Druva has expanded its cloud-native data protection services by introducing support for Azure virtual machine (VM) backups, emphasizing a SaaS approach to simplify customers’ cloud strategies. The company’s agentless, cloud-native SaaS offering promises significant cost savings and the assurance of air-gapped backups, especially crucial for Azure VMs, cutting ownership costs by up to 40 percent compared to legacy systems. This unified platform allows streamlined management of backups not just in data centers but also across Azure and AWS, accommodating the needs of enterprise-scale operations.

The rise in ransomware attacks, with a new focus on backup data, means companies must fortify their defenses. Recognizing this, Druva has reinforced its ransomware protection for Azure VMs by creating an unalterable and encrypted backup, immune to malicious tampering. The extended protection spans various environments, including Azure, AWS, data centers, SaaS applications, and endpoint devices. This consolidation of backup processes eliminates egress charges and instance fees, leading to financial and time efficiencies.

Jaspreet Singh, Druva’s CEO, highlights the urgency for businesses to secure data across all cloud platforms while remaining vigilant against evolving cyber threats. Druva’s addition of Azure VM backup strengthens its portfolio, offering comprehensive protection with the simplicity of SaaS and the security of air-gapped solutions. The company demonstrates its confidence in its service through a $10 million Data Resilience Guarantee, aiming to provide customers with assurance and the ability to focus on their core business activities.

Druva’s Azure VM backup delivers air-gapped, secure backups assuring data safety from ransomware by creating immutable backups. The backups are automatically secured outside the customers’ Azure tenancy, enhancing protection against new threats and inside jobs.

The Druva agentless, Multi-cloud Management solution foregoes the need for extra infrastructure, offering ease of management for data across multiple clouds via a single interface. Users can swiftly protect their data, sometimes in under five minutes.

By deduplicating data across environments and removing egress fees, Druva presents a cost-effective solution, reducing the need for multiple backup copies and delivering up to 40 percent in cost reductions over traditional methods.
