Building Multi-Cloud Data Resilience With 100% SaaS
Improve data protection and accelerate deployments across public clouds and SaaS applications.
The Challenge
Today, many organizations are moving to multiple cloud environments, leveraging both public cloud infrastructure, and SaaS applications. While this is largely driven by the need to deploy best-of-breed applications, it has also brought gaps in data visibility and data protection due to more complex environments.
With global spending on cloud services expected to reach over $482 billion in 2022 1, and organizations using an average of 110 SaaS applications 2, data sprawl and unmanaged data growth are increasing the risk of data loss and cyber attacks. Whether protecting cloud-native, lift and shift, or SaaS applications, organizations are seeking an easier way to manage, protect, and secure data wherever it lives.
Business Challenges
- The creation of data silos and the resulting inaccessibility to all data on demand limits an organization’s agility and ability to quickly respond to growing demands.
- Unchecked data growth combined with a lack of visibility is increasing the risk of data loss, breaches, ransomware, and compliance violations dramatically.
- The cloud skills shortage is killing enterprises that want to move to new technology quickly.
- Lack of awareness around the shared responsibility models of cloud services (data, networks, applications, and operating systems).
- Traditional solutions are hardware/software-based — making it difficult to forklift software and operate in the cloud.
The Solution
Druva offers the first at-scale SaaS platform that simplifies data resilience for multi-cloud environments.
