Druva, Inc. announced
extended data protection capabilities for Amazon Web Services (AWS)
enterprise workloads, including innovative backup and data management
for Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), long-term archiving for
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots and new global
policies for AWS accounts. With these latest additions, customers can
more effectively manage some of today's most popular workloads, enable
consistent storage policies across the platform and lower costs with
Druva's industry-leading automated storage tiering capabilities.
As
enterprises continue to expand their footprint on AWS, inputting
greater amounts of data and increasingly leveraging its extensive
portfolio of services, teams are tasked with protecting and analyzing
this ever-growing environment. Given this influx of data now requiring
oversight, a centralized approach can help teams properly manage their
data, meet compliance requirements, and optimize storage.
Now,
Druva customers can reduce risk, intelligently store data across Amazon
S3 storage tiers, and increase visibility with capabilities including:
- Amazon S3 backup:
Access a consumer-friendly interface to navigate snapshots of Amazon S3
buckets and set granular version control with backup policies for
Amazon S3 buckets across regions and accounts within AWS with
include/exclude rule-based selections of Amazon S3 buckets and S3
Objects.
- Amazon EBS archival:
Transition Amazon EBS snapshots to Amazon S3 storage classes like
Amazon S3 Glacier and Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive, significantly
reducing costs by up to 50X* while retaining availability for business
continuity, compliance, customer contracts and e-Discovery.
- Global data management policies:
Automated onboarding allows users to onboard and set policies across
one or hundreds of accounts from the user's AWS estate with the same
level of effort, including AWS GovCloud accounts. Additionally, global
policies bring the ability to not only list backup policies across
accounts, but apply those policies to full accounts. With new policy
selectors, users can include or exclude instances into backup policies
by ID, Tag, AWS Account, AWS Organization, VPC, Subnet or Region,
unifying policies across accounts. This significantly reduces the effort
required by large enterprises to ensure consistent data protection
across their entire AWS estate.
"AWS's
ease-of-use, competitive cost, and vast array of services have enabled
enterprises to build today's applications, scaling on demand and
innovating for the future," said Mike Palmer, Chief Product Officer,
Druva. "Given how easy it is to set up environments in AWS, enterprises
look to further reduce business risk, increase operational efficiency,
and retain visibility of all their data. As one of the only data
protection solutions built entirely on AWS, and given our intimate
knowledge of it, Druva is the ideal solution to help leverage AWS to the
fullest and drive our customers' business forward."
"Protecting
production workloads and managing data can be complex," said Steven
Hill, senior analyst at 451 Research. "The global, policy-based data
protection and life-cycle automation Druva is adding to its data
protection service provides the tools needed to effectively manage that
complexity. In addition, Druva leverages the flexible and resilient
Amazon S3 storage, tiering data for cost efficient long-term archiving
and governance of AWS EBS volume snapshots."
Availability
Druva's
new capabilities are expected to be generally available by Q1 2020
within Druva CloudRanger and immediately available to select customers
via early access. Druva CloudRanger is available on the AWS Marketplace.
