Overall Satisfaction with Druva Phoenix
Druva Phoenix is a tool which aims to simplify backup and recovery. Essentially a DRaaS service running on the cloud, this improves ROI by reducing the costs associated with a cold DR on premise site. With cloud scale, there is also no need to worry about right sizing your backup infrastructure as it is all taken care of in the cloud.
Currently we are using it to back up virtual machines in a VMware environment. Primarily the role of Phoenix within the institution is a DRaaS solution which allows us to quickly get the service up and running should there be an outage within the institute, e.g. DC power failure, network disconnection.

- DRaaS.
- Backup and Restore to on-premise hardware.
- Deduplication.
- Better client support especially in the DRaaS functionality.
- Improving ease of use with AWS.
- Support for other public cloud.
- Time reduction from sysadmin daily ops.
- Removal of need of cold standby site.
- Deduplication leads to reduced storage costs.
Other than Phoenix, there is AWS Cloud Endure and Azure Backup and Recovery.
Both tools work well to back up and restore the on-premise VM to the respective cloud, but stop short at the deduplication capabilities.
Additionally a certain level of expertise and on-premise infrastructure is required in order to deploy either tool on premise.
