Mike Houghton, Sr. VP, Global Partners and Alliances

I’m excited to announce that Druva is the recipient of the first-ever Global AWS Storage Partner of the Year Award!

The Regional and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize a wide range of AWS competency partners whose business models have embraced specialization, innovation, and cooperation over the past year.

What does it mean for our partners?

It’s an important step in our commitment to nurturing and strengthening our partner ecosystem. Our goal is to empower partners with easy-to-use tools that will cultivate our relationship and enable them to seamlessly win more business with us. 

Under our partner-first mentality, Druva’s new Partner+ Program reimagines the way we conduct business and engage with our entire ecosystem, driving improved profitability, enablement, and unique programs to make sure our customers get the best from Druva and our value partners. Druva is a proud AWS Marketplace participant with 144% growth in the last year alone. 

What does it mean for our customers?

This award is a confirmation of our continued commitment to our customers, recognizing the dedication and innovation of AWS partners to provide storage and data management solutions. AWS recognizes those partners who go above and beyond in their engagement, providing extraordinary service and support that ensures customers gain the most benefit from our solutions.

“Druva helped us improve our data security in the cloud while operating at scale, and we’ve been able to achieve time savings, cost savings, and rapid restorations of backup data when the situation calls for it,” said Rajeev Gollarahalli, CIO at TRC Companies. “With cloud-native data protection, I never have to worry about my data backups because Druva makes it quick and simple. It also gives us peace of mind that Druva’s platform is built on AWS, as we know we’ll always maintain high-performance infrastructure with enterprise-grade security.”

The winner of this award was selected with a specific emphasis on customer success use cases. Druva came out on top in a number of data-driven award categories, which consisted of a unique set of metrics that helped measure AWS Partners’ performance within the past year.
