Mountain View, Calif. – March 29, 2012 – Druva, a pioneer in secure, non-intrusive endpoint
protection and availability solutions for the enterprise, today announced new mobile-
data protection capabilities. With these capabilities, inSync becomes the first solution that
enables IT to focus on the needs of the enterprise user with a single point of control across all
endpoint devices. Druva’s new model returns control of critical data to IT in an environment of
unfettered growth of mobile devices.

inSync’s endpoint data protection and availability solutions for laptops now include the
following features for mobile devices:

Mobile-Data Backup
Customers now have a mobile-data solution that backs up data from all of their devices
uniformly. inSync simplifies management and storage of user data by enabling IT to select
backup either to an on-premises server or to the cloud, or to a combination of on-premises and
cloud as dictated by enterprise requirements.

Multi-Device Access
With inSync, users can instantly access and view data from all of their devices on each of those
devices, from a single desktop interface, or from a single web interface, greatly improving user
productivity and access to data.

Mobile Data-Loss Prevention
IT can encrypt data, remotely geo-locate, and even remotely wipe data from a lost or stolen
mobile device regardless of its location. Instant alerts notify the inSync administrator and
virtually eliminate the risks of unauthorized access to the data.

“Data loss is simply not an option in any industry where sensitive data is at stake,” said Rajesh
Kumar Sharma, assistant IT manager, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, the global professional-services
giant. “Druva inSync has been architected to counter the real and potential risks of data
loss, and today it not only safeguards sensitive customer data for PwC but also has helped us
maintain a strong security posture.”

Empowering IT to Manage the Consumerization of the Enterprise

For IT departments, separate devices require separate user profiles, complicating the process
of tying multiple devices to one user and the resulting challenge of device provisioning. With
inSync, Druva eliminates that complexity, creating a single user profile that encompasses all of
the user’s mobile devices. From a single on-premises or cloud portal, IT personnel can view and
manage backup, data access and data loss prevention (DLP), as well as bandwidth allotment
and security, for all of the user’s laptops, tablets and smartphones. Druva’s “manage the user
across all endpoint devices” approach returns control of mobile devices to IT, while giving users
access to their data from anywhere, at any time.

“In today’s BYOD environment, enterprises face a management headache for IT when it comes
to protecting sensitive data on mobile devices,” said Robert Amatruda, research director,
data protection and recovery at IDC. “As a result, enterprise IT managers need scalable, cost-
effective tools to provide their staff superlative data protection for their mobile devices without
interrupting their workflow.”

Massively Scalable

inSync’s on-premises solution scales up to 100,000 devices in an on-premises configuration,
allowing management from a single, unified console. Its powerful HyperCache preserves
storage capacity through in-memory global source-based data deduplication and support for
solid state drives (SSDs) optimizes system performance. For additional customer protection,
Druva provides service-level agreements (SLAs) for durability and reliability.

inSync’s cloud solution protects data through unique two-factor encryption, sandboxing and
strict access control. The cloud model also enables rapid global deployment as well as elastic
scalability to support any number of users and devices.

“With a projection that 78 percent of enterprises will allow use of iPads by 2013, the need for
rock-solid data loss prevention has become especially acute,” said Jaspreet Singh, CEO of Druva.
“Today, many enterprises cannot track how many mobile devices a staffer uses on the job,
much less protect that user’s data. That’s why we introduced a ‘manage the user’ model that
has put user-device management and security in the hands of IT. Today’s ‘manage the device’
model has become obsolete.”

For both deployment models, Druva integrates powerful WAN optimization, data analytics and
search.

Pricing and Availability
inSync licensing is based on a per-user model that allows any number of devices per user.
Pricing for the inSync cloud solution is $6 per user, per month, and the on-premises version is
$4 per user, per month. The product will be available in April 2012.

“Prior to deploying inSync, we had nearly 500 users distributed over three locations, which created management challenges with the backup process as well as with bandwidth consumption and end user performance degradation,” said Christakis Themistocli, director of information technology services at Deloitte in Cyprus. “Druva allowed us to consolidate all of our backups and offered a single management interface that could be accessed by multiple administrators. We also solved our bandwidth challenge with inSync’s advanced deduplication technology, which, coupled with minimal incremental backups, meant our end users weren’t affected by backups and neither was our network performance.”

Over the last several months, Druva developed numerous improvements to inSync, with a focus on protecting endpoint data and expanding beyond backup to include these features:

• inSync Cloud – an enterprise-grade online backup solution that offers secure, lightning-fast backups to a virtual private cloud powered by Amazon Web Services. inSync Cloud offers automatic mass deployment to global laptops, with central management of policies and data across multiple global regions. It also provides high availability, with 99.5 percent uptime and 99.999999999 percent durability, making it optimal for large enterprises.
• SafePoint – a data loss prevention (DLP) solution for laptop computers and other endpoint devices that offers file-level encryption, NSA-class remote data wipe-out and pinpoint device trace. It is proven to reduce total cost of operations by approximately 10 times in comparison with competitive DLP offerings.
• Advanced Data Insights for E-Discovery – a solution that allows enterprise IT customers to gain increased visibility into data stored and shared across all enterprise endpoints, enabling them to locate files or folders in any device by name, type, recency or size. It also provides a summary of file composition across endpoints by file type and size, as well as of aggregate and per-user storage consumption.

“Druva continues to address the key pain points that enterprises face in protecting one of their most valuable assets – data on mobile devices,” said Robert Amatruda, research director, data protection and recovery, at analyst firm IDC. “Druva adds value by granting administrators key insights into their data while allowing global deployment of their software from a single console, thus simplifying adoption across the enterprise.”

A recent ESG Lab report validated inSync’s claims, including its ease of installation, as well as the benefits of its application-aware global deduplication, WAN optimization and efficient client-side processing, which provides data protection at 90 percent savings in bandwidth and data stored. ESG Lab was able to install a 50MB executable file on the server and configure the network in 20 minutes.

The company also recently announced it received $12 million in a Series B round of funding. The round was led by Nexus Venture Partners; existing investor Sequoia Capital also contributed to the round.

Many IT administrators today are virtually blind to the details of data stored on their corporate laptops and other endpoint devices. Druva’s newest addition to its portfolio provides them insights into enterprise endpoint data by enabling them to locate files or folders in any device by name, type, recency, or size. It also provides a summary of file composition across endpoints, by file type and size, as well as aggregate and per-user storage consumption. Using inSync, an IT administrator could now instantly locate all employees who have a copy of a specific confidential financial report by issuing a simple search.

Jaspreet Singh, CEO at Druva, is confident that inSync’s Advanced Data Insights will give IT professionals more control over enterprise data stored on laptops. “The ability to quickly locate data and analyze usage can have a direct impact on compliance, productivity and optimization of IT resources. And yet the majority of organizations today have only a limited knowledge of what kind of files employees are storing on their laptops and who has access to which files. Our new data insights capability empowers organizations to go beyond data protection and lay the foundation for an effective e-discovery strategy.”

A federated search across multiple laptops allows IT administrators to identify a wide range of data usage and ownership patterns, which would be largely impossible to achieve otherwise. This capability allows data leakage issues to be identified and solved in real time. inSync’s Advanced Data Insights also offers more effective IT resource planning thanks to highly comprehensive data analysis features.

Mountain View, Calif. – Oct. 6, 2011 – Druva, a pioneer in enterprise laptop backup and retrieval, today announced that the University of California at Davis (UC Davis) has chosen Druva inSync as its solution for laptop backup. Responding to the unique requirements for laptop data needs and security in higher education, Druva’s inSync protects data for office and remote users campus-wide with simple backup, point-in-time restores, and patent-pending data deduplication technology. Druva’s technology resulted in speeding backups by 10 times while using 90 percent less storage than competing solutions.

“With the rapid expansion of laptops and mobile devices on university campuses, new strategies for data backup and recovery are required,” said Jaspreet Singh, CEO of Druva. “UC Davis selected Druva to address the unique challenges of a small IT staff struggling with the management of the laptop backup process across a widely distributed environment.”

Druva’s auto-deploy client empowers users not only to backup and restore their own data—but also lets IT know if someone is not backing up data or if a client has stalled, so he can intervene. The school had found that many of their users avoided backing up their systems because they had bad experiences with the performance impact of other solutions. But with Druva inSync, the backup process is virtually invisible to them. In addition, inSync provides weekly reports of all backup processes so UC Davis can manage all aspects of the backup proactively to ensure coverage of all PCs.

Druva uses data deduplication technology as the key driver to improving bandwidth and reducing costly storage space. It works because inSync saves only a single copy of emails/attachments duplicated across users, no matter how many times users send it around. This is in contrast to other laptop backup systems that back up every email and every attachment for every user.
