This platform is globally available, can scale infinitely, and operates without the need for manual management, making it suitable for large organizations across various industries like technology, finance, and healthcare. Druva's services are offered through a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, allowing clients to subscribe rather than buy software outright, which helps reduce costs and provides flexibility. Unlike many competitors, Druva's focus on cloud-based solutions eliminates the need for physical hardware, leading to significant cost savings for clients. The company's goal is to enhance data resiliency for enterprises while maintaining a predictable revenue stream through subscriptions.
