Katz Media Group transitioned from on-premises to cloud-only infrastructure by replacing legacy backup solutions with Druva. This simplified management and reduced costs. Version 1, a technology services provider, used Druva for backup and disaster recovery of AWS services, lowering costs by 70%. The University of England protected VMware Cloud on AWS and cut Amazon S3 storage in half using Druva's global deduplication. Andritz eliminated tape-based backups with Druva, which automated policies and reduced backup oversight time.

2. England’s first civic university protects VMware Cloud on AWS and
cuts Amazon S3 storage in half with global source-side deduplication
Use cases: Backup for VMware VMs on-premises and VMware Cloud on AWS
Industry: Public sector
Adoption of a cloud-first strategy led The University to migrate on-premises VMs to VMware Cloud on AWS,
but their legacy data protection solution was cost-prohibitive and unable to scale.
Implemented Druva’s VMware Ready-certified cloud data protection solution to facilitate migration
to VMware Cloud on AWS.
Challenge:
Solution:
International technology group Andritz eliminated legacy tape-based
server backup with Druva
Use cases: Server backup & archival, disaster recovery, data residency & compliance
Industry: Manufacturing
Time-consuming backups and complicated data restore was frustrating and inconsistent, and with no central
visibility across Andritz’s tape-based system the team lacked easy access to data.
Andritz worked with Druva to automate backup policies and configure multiple independent schedules
to take advantage of ideal bandwidth consumption and reduce time spent overseeing backups.
