With these enhancements, the company will help customers further strengthen security for critical cloud workloads, and drive down costs through storage efficiencies that eliminate traditional cross-account and cross-region requirements.

Amazon EC2 is a popular environment for building and running workloads in the cloud. As more enterprises rely on EC2 to build and deploy workloads in the cloud, cross-account and cross-region snapshots are used extensively to protect data and keep on hand in case a recovery is required. As an at-scale data resiliency cloud, the firm has designed an approach which brings air-gapped security to these backups while simplifying management. Customers can now improve security and leverage company’s patented de-dupe and intelligent cold-storage tiering, to gain increased simplicity and efficiency.

“Thousands of organizations leverage cloud services to build and run applications with speed and confidence, but as they expand their cloud footprint, data visibility, protection and recovery often becomes a costly and complex challenge,” said Christophe Bertrand, senior analyst, ESG Research. “The latest innovations within the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud highlight how Druva is working to address these pain points and is helping businesses unlock even more value in the cloud through a simplified approach.”
