Our take
The data protection industry is booming, thanks to a move to the cloud. Businesses now have access to vast amounts of data that can provide deep insights into every aspect of their operations, but at the same time are vulnerable to cybercrime and service outages. Druva, founded in 2008, exists to protect that vital data with a cloud-based backup service.
As the move to the cloud accelerates, there is a rising number of companies offering data resiliency services, including IBM, Commvault and Rubrik. However, unlike major competitors, Druva's platform is the first entirely cloud-based service, needing no hardware changes. While newer startups have begun to take this same approach, they lack the size, expertise and client base to compete with Druva.
Considered a leader in its sector, Druva has thousands of enterprise clients including household brand names like Samsung, Hulu and DHL. With the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud now surpassing an average of 17 million daily backups, it is clear that demand for the product is still accelerating, and that the company has plenty of room to continue its growth.
