SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Druva Inc., a leader in Cloud Data Protection and Management, today announced that it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Digital Workplace Competency status. As Druva’s third AWS Competency designation, it further recognizes Druva’s deep expertise of AWS and experience helping customers build a digital workplace on AWS. With automated data protection for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, end-user devices, and virtual desktops like Amazon WorkSpaces, businesses can rely on Druva to protect virtually any device, from anywhere, through a SaaS-based platform built completely on AWS.

Today’s widespread remote working is expected to continue for the foreseeable future and according to Gartner, the endpoint install base is expected to grow by 16 percent in 2020.* In this environment, data is being increasingly created and stored on SaaS applications, as well as devices, as organizations deploy new tools for remote collaboration.

Combined with Druva’s extensive workload coverage, secure architecture and compliance support, it’s an ideal solution for supporting today’s remote organizations.

With a platform built on AWS that can be accessed from anywhere and deployed in as little as 15 minutes, we are proud to be one of the first AWS Partners to achieve the AWS Digital Workplace Competency.”

The AWS Digital Workplace Competency helps customers find highly specialized AWS Partner Network (APN) Partners offering solutions on AWS that help them effectively support remote workers and business continuity with an end-to-end Digital Workplace in the cloud. APN Partners achieving this newly unveiled AWS Competency provide features that help reduce security risks and meet compliance requirements while allowing customers to effectively support remote workers and implement business continuity plans.

Druva has also achieved AWS Government Competency and AWS Storage Competency status, a recognition of the company’s demonstrated expertise in helping companies realize the benefits of AWS.

In addition, Druva’s endpoint data protection simplifies backup, archival, compliance, and device management.
