Amid strong cloud demand, Druva records 100% growth in data centre workload revenue

Sunnyvale, California-based cloud data protection and management solutions provider Druva said the revenue from its data centre workload has increased by more than 100% in the past 12 months.

Driven by software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based data protection solutions, Druva said the increase could be attributed to businesses rapidly expanding their cloud resources, as they look to replace aging hardware and software-based legacy solutions amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The company has deployed SaaS solutions for over 135 enterprises, such as Adani Power from India, NTT Data and Uniadex from Japan, McConnell Dowell from Australia and Gold Peak from Hong Kong, a statement said.

In July, TechCircle reported that Druva realized a 70% year-on-year growth in its data centre revenue.

“As businesses in Asia Pacific Japan (APJ) adopt remote operating models, there is an urgency to adopt new technologies, maintain business continuity, and secure organizational and dispersed workforce data,” Pete Yamasaki, regional vice president for APJ region at Druva, said.

According to a report by market intelligence firm IDC, the Asia Pacific region is expected to have the highest revenue growth rate for cloud system and service management software between 2020 and 2024, growing faster than the Americas and the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions.
