Druva Inc. introduced the industry’s first at-scale SaaS data protection solution for Nutanix HCI hybrid cloud solution. The inclusion of Nutanix AHV support to the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud ensures that critical Nutanix workloads are protected consistently across data centres, remote offices, and AWS Nutanix Clusters. The Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, which has received the Nutanix Ready accreditation, provides companies with workload coverage through a secure, automated, and simplified platform that requires no new hardware or software.
Nutanix, as a leading multi-cloud architectural solution, is designed to assist businesses in confidently and quickly accelerating their hybrid and multi-cloud journeys. Legacy data protection cannot compare to Nutanix's hybrid cloud infrastructure's simplicity, scale, and efficiency - relying on on-premises hardware or secondary storage is complex and typically requires considerable administrative overhead and infrastructure expenditures. The Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, as the leading cloud data protection solution, is designed to assist businesses in realising the benefits of cloud computing. Customers can now protect Nutanix workloads by employing centralised data protection across platforms, apps, and locations.
“Security, data integration, and cost continue to be the top concern for IT leaders as they navigate the expanding multi-cloud world,” said Anjan Srinivas, Vice President and General Manager of product, Druva. “As enterprises expand applications into a hybrid, multi-cloud architecture, they need a new innovative approach to data protection which is as agile and flexible as their infrastructure. As the only SaaS-based solution with support for Nutanix, the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud brings Nutanix customers a new level of simplicity that is enhanced with ransomware recovery, cloud archiving, disaster recovery, and ultimately, data resiliency, that isn’t available with legacy solutions.”
“The ultimate goal of the Nutanix Cloud Platform is to unify multi-cloud management, simplify the migration of applications and data, and help our customers unlock the advantages of the cloud,” said Amy Hansen, Global Director, Data Protection Alliances, Nutanix. “As enterprises migrate workloads and leverage hybrid, multi-cloud strategies, the centralisation of data protection plays a critical role in their ongoing data security and business resiliency. With expanded support now available within the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, our customers have an excellent option to streamline data protection for their Nutanix workloads, along with their other enterprise workloads, within a single unified platform.”
Nutanix customers can now experience the radical simplicity, speed, scale, and flexibility of cloud via the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, including:
