Data Protection and Management Environment Prior to Druva

Production Disk Backup Tape

Backup Archival


• Complexityo Disparate and non-integrated solutionso Lacked scalability and flexibility

• Compliance management and risko Data silos – Lack visibilityo Varied regional data policy for all sites

• Decentralized managemento Each solution had its own administrator

• Dependence on tape – risk to data losso Rare to test “actual” recovery from tapes

• Costly solutions for backup and DRo Expensive on-premises hardware and DR facilityo Support and services at a high cost

Data Protection Challenges

• Unified data in the cloudo Global storage with no data siloso Easily met data residence laws

• Single pane of glass for managemento Global visibility and compliance management

• Reduced backup window & increased reliabilityo CloudCache for LAN-like backup & restore speedso No more tapes

• DR in the Cloudo Minimized replication and DR siteso No compromise to business continuity SLAs

GameStop Meets Cloud Initiative with Druva Phoenix

“What really excited us is that all aspects of Druva’s platform are distinctly cloud-native, unlike competitors who seem to have integrated the cloud as an afterthought.”

“We didn’t find another solution that would accomplish reducing our backup application footprint as much as Druva.”

“Incumbent solutions were not adequate to handle GameStop’s requirements as they were mostly purpose-built that were not scalable and flexible for all our locations and apps.”
