Druvaa Webinar

While data growth is not new, the pace of growth has become more rapid, the location of data more dispersed, and the linkage between data sets more complex. We see a lot of customers curious about how we solve some of these challenges and very interested in “what’s coming next?”

We strongly believe in the “community” and trust that the software best evolves when guided by the active community. In an attempt to create a platform for healthy share of ideas and make the roadmap more transparent, we would be starting two new initiatives –

  1. A series of Webinars
  2. Druvaa Idea’s Forum (annoucement coming soon)

These webinars will share our thoughts on some of the challenges faced today and what’s our take on them. I would be taking up the first webinar of the series on Sep 1st 2009 and will be joined on the panel by project managers and some members of the sales team.

In this upcoming webinar I would go over -

  • The key challenges faced by customers for ever growing local and remote data
  • Best practices for backup and disaster recovery (DR)
  • How Druvaa addresses some of these challenges
  • And finally share and discuss the Druvaa innovation roadmap.
  • The 40 minute presentation would be followed by a 20 minute Q&A session.

Who Should Attend

  • Customers – End user who have deployed or planned a deployment of Druvaa Products
  • Partners and Integrators – Druvaa Channel Partners and System Integrators
  • Analysts – Industry Analysts and Independent Observers

Druvaa acquires Key Customers – NASA, Emerson, Serco, Zee-Turner

Customer Wins

Half way through the quarter, a post on customer wins sounds strange. But I just couldn’t resist breaking this news on the (lately sleepy) blog.

Druvaa acquired a couple of very interesting customers.  NASA is a relatively small Federal deployment, but we are happy to add this brand name to our list of valuable customers. Just the fact that they tested and loved the product against the existing ones, make me feel very proud.

Zee-Turner is special, because this was one of the large accounts of a competing global-deduplication-backup product, until they dumped it for Druvaa inSync. The customer was not happy with the backup performance and the maintenance/training required for the heavy weight product.

I personally met this customer and I insisted that his support staff tries to play with the product while we have our 1 hours meeting going on. The support engineer installed and backed up the entire IT-staff within 1 hour, which was fr them shocking as they had spent over a week learning and setting up the heavy weight.

InSync was simple, elegant and fast. We closed the deal within 14 days :)

Emerson and Serco are again enterprise accounts we won fighting small but interesting battles.

A snapshot of key customers can be found here – http://www.druvaa.com/case-studies/customers . I am planning to write a series of blog posts to highlight the value proposition offered by InSync in each of these cases.
