Data is growing faster than ever and organizations are being required to retain more of it for longer periods of time. Compliance and legal requirements are making data stored so that it aligns with regional data privacy regulations. On-premises infrastructure puts limits on how much data can be stored and can really add to costs when more hardware is needed. The cloud continues to be an attractive option and the new partnership between Druva and Azure will give customers a wider choice for where they store their data and more options with regionally specific regulation requirements.

Additional benefits of Druva availability on Azure include:

• Security: Azure meets a broad set of international and industry-specific compliance standards, such as ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1 and SOC 2, as well as country-specific standards including Australia IRAP, UK G-Cloud, and Singapore MTCS. Microsoft was also the first to adopt the uniform international code of practice for cloud privacy, ISO/IEC 27018, which governs the processing of personal information by cloud service providers.
• Global Availability: Broad international Microsoft datacenter locations provide 21 storage regions around the globe, including Canada and China — enabling Druva customers to meet data residency needs posed by evolving regional data privacy regulations.
• Microsoft Customer Advantage: Enterprise customers who have standardized on the Microsoft platform can utilize their contract license credits towards their Druva purchase.
