Druva, Inc. today announced the
acquisition of CloudLanes, an innovator in hybrid cloud data protection
and migration that enables seamless and secure movement of data from
on-premises to cloud. With the new addition, Druva is set to expand
cloud to the edge, bringing enterprises the ability to keep data readily
available on-site, while leveraging SaaS-based business continuity,
short recovery windows and greater workload mobility to reduce costs by
up to 50 percent.
CloudLanes'
software rapidly and securely ingests data from on-premises and moves
it to the cloud in a fast, secure, and auditable manner for protection
needs, freeing organizations from legacy scalability and architecture.
By integrating CloudLanes, Druva brings all the benefits of its cloud
capabilities to these on-premises environments, providing instant
recovery and enhancing data security without requiring any hardware.
Additionally, efficient and cost-effective cloud-based resources and
lifecycle management will decrease overall TCO by eliminating the need
for on-premises storage and compute resources. With this new approach,
heavily regulated industries like healthcare and banking will now be
able to meet their business needs for governance and compliance with a
solution designed for the cloud era.
"Enterprises
are now seeing first-hand the challenges of hybrid cloud solutions that
are increasingly inflexible with today's cloud-driven world," said
Jaspreet Singh, founder and CEO, Druva. "Current hybrid solutions are
trying to forklift legacy to cloud, but organizations need solutions
that are born in the cloud and bring cloud functionality closer to the
datacenter. The addition of CloudLanes will help us extend the
advantages of cloud to more enterprises at the edge, bringing greater
access to data, enhanced protection, and help accelerating growth
through simple and reliable data protection."
CloudLanes,
founded in 2015, introduced the industry's first secondary storage
platform built on public clouds with a hybrid cloud approach. Designed
for data guardianship and optimized for backup and archival workloads,
CloudLanes combined this with unparalleled security and governance,
chain of custody and data verification capabilities. In 2018, CloudLanes
was recognized in Gartner's "Cool Vendors in Storage Technologies"
report for its innovative technology.*
"Businesses
are looking for greater flexibility and more cost effective ways to
manage their backup data, and are increasingly looking to the cloud,"
said Abhijit Dinkar, co-founder and CEO, CloudLanes. "CloudLanes'
innovative approach to data migration enhances the Druva Cloud Platform
and will bring enterprises a novel and powerful new approach to data
protection and management."
"The
readily available nature of backups stored on-premises has been a key
barrier to cloud data protection adoption for some organizations and
industries," said Phil Goodwin, Research Director, IDC. "A solution that
combines the best of both worlds, delivering the performance of
on-premises data protection with the scalability, security and cost
structure of cloud holds a lot of promise. The addition of CloudLanes to
Druva's portfolio expands the company's ability to address cloud-based
data protection requirements."
