Druva Inc. is a privately-held software company based in Sunnyvale, California. The company provides SaaS-based data protection and management products for corporations and government agencies.[3] Druva products aggregate enterprise data from endpoints, data center, and cloud workloads for backup and restore, compliance monitoring, security, and other uses.[4][5]

History[]

In 2008, Jaspreet Singh (CEO), Milind Borate (CTO), and Ramani Kothandaraman, who met working together at Veritas Software,[6] founded Druva in Pune, India.[2][7] In Sanskrit, "druva" translates to "North Star".[8] Initially, Druva focused on providing data management software to financial companies before shifting to general enterprise data management.[2]

In 2010, the company received Series A funding.[6] In 2011, the company added smartphone support for its inSync app[9] and received Series B funding.[10] The next year, the company moved its headquarters to Silicon Valley, and again shifted focus to cloud-based data management and protection.[2] (As of 2019, Druva continued to operate an R&D facility in Pune, where the company was originally based.[7]) By 2013, the company had grown 194 employees. NASA and Pfizer were Druva's clients.[11] The company raised Series C funding the same year.[12]

In 2014, Druva released its Phoenix server backup product[13] and received Series D funding.[14] By 2016, the company had grown to 400 employees,[15] and set up a subsidiary in Japan and an office in Tokyo.[8] Druva received more funding[16] and FedRAMP authority to operate in 2017.[17][18] In 2019, Druva grew to 750 employees and more than 4,000 customers, and opened an office in Singapore.[2] The company also received additional late-stage funding,[3] which brought its total amount invested to $328 million and its total valuation to more than $1 billion.[5]

Acquisitions[]

In 2018, Druva acquired Letterkenny-based CloudRanger, a back-up and disaster recovery company.[19] In 2019, Druva acquired CloudLanes to supplement its on-premises to cloud performance.[20][21]

Products[]

Druva creates and sells data protection and management products to companies and government agencies. These products aggregate enterprise data from endpoints, data centers, and cloud workloads for backup and restore, disaster recovery, archival and retention, compliance monitoring, data forensics, and other uses.[4][22] The company offers the following products:

  • Druva inSync – for endpoint devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets[23] as well as SaaS applications such as G Suite and Office 365[24]
  • Druva Phoenix – for physical and virtual file servers[25]
  • Druva CloudRanger – for AWS services and workloads[26]

All products operate on the Druva Cloud Platform, a cloud-native backup platform built on AWS that provides a centralized backup repository.[27][28]
