For the administrators who have been managing both inSync and Phoenix in different capacities, this makes life easier because now they don’t have to go through two different login workflows and manage different credentials. There will be a single URL and set of credentials to manage all the services, as well as any other services they might use from Druva going forward.
Druva Cloud Platform provides a single platform to monitor the entire enterprise data footprint across all data sources in your organization. You’ll now have insight into what’s going on with your data across all sources, such as how much data you’re storing and where it’s stored. Support documentation and best practices are now embedded into the Druva Cloud Platform dashboard itself. Plus, you’ll be able to stay up to date on new product features from the dashboard as well.
Our customers tell us they want actions available right at their fingertips and not multiple clicks away, and we heard this loud and clear. We’ve introduced a command palette within the Druva Cloud Platform, which will help you search for an action within services and take you directly to that action. It will also search through our knowledge base and documentation and suggest relevant articles.
One advantage of the new Druva Cloud Platform is that benefits of one service can now extend to other services. For instance, with Druva Phoenix we are adding support for geofencing, which already existed within Druva inSync.
We have also unified the administrator management within Druva Cloud Platform. This allows you to manage administrators across all services from a single place. We are also introducing a Druva cloud administrator role to simplify configuration management across services.
How do we see this change internally?
All of us at Druva are quite thrilled about this launch. Nothing satisfies us more than our customers’ happiness and we’re excited to be able to deliver on your expectations.
Launching a platform was a very bold move for us, since this meant re-architecting our solutions in a big way and doing that without jeopardizing our development plans and commitments to existing customers. We’re just getting started with Druva Cloud Platform, and are logically carving out different services from our solutions to make all of the functionalities as independent as possible. This in turn will make them more fault tolerant. This will translate into more agility, and greater speed of development.
“Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.” – Steve Jobs
