Druva Software has announced the release of a new update to its award-winning enterprise laptop backup product Druva inSync.
Light weight and scalable in nature, in Sync version 4.0, codenamed Blackbird. It comes with added features such as a global source based application aware de-duplication technology and an embedded new storage engine which redefines performance of data de-duplication enabled backups while supporting up to 16 TB de-duplication storage per server.
Blackbird uses NoSQL Oracle Berkley Database (BDB) and provides a low-level storage interface for maintaining meta-data and in turn eliminates the network and SQL optimiser layers. It is also equipped with a redesigned WAN optimisation engine Octopus and a new web 2.0 based Management Console. The Octopus WAN optimisation engine analyses available networks and optimises the data transfer for latency and packet sizing.
Commenting on the launch, Jaspreet Singh, CEO and Co Founder, Druva said, “In this dynamic environment, global enterprises are constantly facing challenges relating to data protection and storage utilisation. With the launch of Druva’s inSync 4.0 Blackbird, we aim to eliminate these inefficiencies through our enhanced de-duplication solutions that guarantee superior performance, scalability and advanced cost savings. Indeed, technology never fails to surprise you, and this is an engineering marvel from Druva that I am truly proud to launch.”
The company has already acquired a marquee list of customers in more than 20 countries in the last two years and has registered a growth of 300% in the year ended March 2010. This aggressive growth curve and profitable business model recently encouraged Sequoia Capital and India Angel network to invest $5mn worth of angel funding in the company.
