SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 29, 2016) - Druva, the leader in converged data protection, today reported continued company-wide growth, citing 100 percent growth of its subscription business and marking its sixth consecutive year of triple-digit growth. Druva's global customer count now exceeds 4,000 organizations. With the conclusion of its 2016 fiscal year ending on March 31, the company continues to gain momentum with the addition of new strategic partnerships, a global MSP program and the establishment of subsidiaries in both Germany and Japan. Druva also continues to expand its solution offerings with new cloud application support that includes Box, Google Apps for Work and Office 365, a strategic alliance with Microsoft Azure, and a new "pay-only-for-what-you-use" consumption pricing model for its cloud-based server backup, archival and DR solution.

"Druva is building the next great data protection company in the cloud," said Jaspreet Singh, CEO, Druva. "Among a new generation of software companies who have embraced the scale, security and cost efficiency of the public cloud, Druva is offering our customers better ways to protect and govern all their data -- both end-user and server. Not only can organizations protect and preserve their business critical information wherever it resides, but help discover it for legal, regulatory and compliance needs. This approach continues to win adherents and fuel our business."
