Cloud data protection and management company Druva has\u00a0launched the “industry\u2019s first” cloud-based backup service for\u00a0network attached storage (NAS) devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While NAS devices serve as a great way to create local backups of important data, it\u2019s traditionally not been possible to make an additional backup of that data on the cloud using a dedicated system.<\/p>\n

Druva\u2019s system claims to improve\u00a0backup performance<\/a>\u00a0by more than five times, and introduces a feature dubbed intelligent cold-storage tiering. This is in addition to the capacity to diffuse storage growth with integrated storage insights.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe direct-to-cloud architecture also eliminates redundant copies of backed-up files, and the infrastructure allows businesses to safeguard the value of unstructured data and manage their information in a much simpler way than traditional methods.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditional backup providers have treated NAS as an afterthought, at the expense of reliability, security, and cost-efficiency,\u201d said Druva\u2019s chief technologist, Stephen Manley.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, IT teams can augment their data management strategy with a simple and resilient NAS-optimized protection solution that requires no on-premises storage and no cloud management. By reducing data copies and redundant data centrally with our patent global source-side deduplication, Druva\u2019s new offering eliminates storage management headaches while delivering the built-in ransomware protection today\u2019s businesses need.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s system is targeted at\u00a0unstructured data<\/a>, which Druva claims accounts for more than 80% of the total data stored in\u00a0enterprise storage systems<\/a>. Managing this quantity of data, however, is becoming increasingly complex and difficult.<\/p>\n

Organisations routinely maintain multiple copies of a dataset, the company adds, including versions for short-term recovery and off-site copies for resiliency, long-term retention, compliance and more. This increases the overall cost of storing and managing data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Druva\u2019s platform comes as a solution to this conundrum, with the direct-to-cloud nature of the architecture seamlessly backing-up and archiving unstructured data without the need for configuration, integration or managing cloud storage tiers.<\/p>\n

The cloud backup and archiving capabilities are already generally available, while infrequent access tier is in early release, with general availability expected in the first half of 2021. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
