According to a recent press release, “Druva, the leader in cloud data protection and information management, today unveiled its new platform, furthering the movement toward a full enterprise cloud-first ecosystem. The Druva Cloud Platform solves the increasing data risks posed by the continued fragmentation and growth of data, while accelerating the overall cloud transformation within today’s enterprises. The Druva Platform’s open architecture and APIs enable businesses and partners to extract greater value from stored data for solving today’s myriad of information management challenges, including compliance, retention, legal and analytics across disparate sources. With over 20 ecosystem partners, IT is better equipped to mitigate business risk, embrace the efficiencies of cloud and create a more agile and efficient data management environment.”

The release continues, “With today’s increasingly fragmented data and the growing pressures of compliance and legal scrutiny, enterprises must rethink how to best manage information to lower data risks. A large gap exists due to legacy, on-premises technologies as both create data management silos, increase infrastructure complexity and cost, and have an inability to incorporate a broad set of new data sources attributed to cloud and individual employee tool adoption. Per a recent survey, over 50 percent of senior managers within today’s enterprises are adopting cloud-first policies for new business applications and that number is expected to grow to 77 percent by 2018. As a result, managing this data in accordance with corporate compliance and legal policy has become exceedingly difficult.”
