What If Backup Were Just... a Service?
Every backup platform promises simplicity. Druva deletes the problem: no backup servers, no storage arrays, no software to patch — the entire platform runs as SaaS on AWS. In 2025, Druva became the first 100% SaaS vendor named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Backup and Data Protection Platforms.
Why Druva?
-
Zero Infrastructure
Nothing to buy, rack, patch, or refresh. Your backup platform is always on the current version.
-
Ransomware-Isolated by Design
Backup data lives outside your network and your Active Directory. An attacker with domain admin still can't reach it.
-
Pay for What You Protect
Consumption-based pricing with global deduplication — you pay for unique data stored, not licenses on a shelf.
-
Fast to Value
palmiq typically activates Druva coverage in days, not the months an appliance rollout takes.

| Pricing model | Consumption-based | Capacity you guess up front |
