Company profile
researched Aug 2026Druva offers a cloud-native, fully managed SaaS platform it markets as the Resilience Cloud, delivering "Resilience as a Service" for enterprise data. The platform spans four stated areas: data resilience (backup, recovery and disaster recovery), cyber resilience (threat detection, data security, automated response and recovery), identity resilience (withstanding and recovering from identity-based threats), and AI resilience (recovering, governing, defending and accelerating AI data, workflows and operations). Druva positions the offering as requiring no customer-managed infrastructure or maintenance, with always-on security, scalable storage and consolidated monitoring from a single interface.
Protected workloads described on the company site include end-user devices and endpoints, data centers and remote offices, virtual machines (VMware), Windows, NAS and SQL, Microsoft 365 and other SaaS applications, and data in public and hybrid clouds including AWS and Azure. Compliance-oriented capabilities include eDiscovery, legal hold and retention policy management. An intelligence layer called Dru Metagraph is described as preserving trusted context and data so organizations can govern data, reverse autonomous AI actions and restore to a trusted state.
Business model
Druva delivers its data protection and resilience capabilities as a fully managed, cloud-native SaaS platform rather than customer-deployed software or appliances, removing the need for customers to run backup infrastructure. Prospects are offered a free trial and a guided product tour.
Traction
The company reports more than 7 billion backups per year, 450PB of data managed, a certified Net Promoter Score of 93, and operations across 26 global regions. Customer case studies cite outcomes such as 224% ROI, full ransomware recovery in 24 hours, 5x storage savings across clouds and $100K in annual savings on VMware and Windows data protection.
Latest developments
Druva has extended its platform toward AI resilience, promoting recovery, governance and defense for AI data and workflows via the Dru Metagraph intelligence layer, and announced Leader placement in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Backup and Data Protection Platforms alongside an AI & Data Security Virtual Summit '26.
