Druva Phoenix addresses the complex challenge of backing up and archiving data from remote servers, which is often cumbersome, error-prone, and expensive with traditional solutions. This tool is built on Druva's proven nCube architecture, leveraging the scalability and security of the cloud.
Technically, Druva Phoenix utilizes global deduplication technology, which significantly enhances backup speeds, achieving effective rates of up to 1Gbps. The architecture is designed for simplicity and performance, integrating with cloud infrastructure such as AWS, where it is available through the AWS Marketplace. This integration allows for easy deployment and management of backup and recovery policies for data center workloads.
Operationally, Druva Phoenix offers a centralized control plane to manage all data center backup and disaster recovery needs, eliminating the need for hardware, software, and dedicated resources. The solution encrypts data in flight and at rest using AES 256-bit encryption, with session-based encryption keys controlled by the customer. Role-based access controls (RBAC) and integration with Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions ensure robust identity and access management.
Key considerations include the use of block-level deduplication, which disguises the structure of data at rest, and the separation of data and metadata storage to enhance security. While the solution is highly scalable and offers pay-as-you-go pricing, it is important to note that costs can be optimized through global deduplication and intelligent tiering to cold storage, but these may introduce complexities in managing data retrieval times from different storage tiers.
