Cloud-native security vendor Druva today announced a new relationship with Microsoft to expand integration with Azure and deepen the capabilities of Druva partners and customers.
Partnership addresses ongoing demand for secure cloud usage
The expanded partnership brings Druva’s backup capabilities to Azure storage, a shift for the company, which until now only managed and stored data in AWS regions. The companies say this new agreement offers organizations a new layer of redundancy, security, and workload protection.

“At Druva, we’re committed to helping every business safely navigate the increasingly complex threat landscape,” said Jaspreet Singh, the CEO and co-founder of Druva. “Our vision has always been to make modern enterprises resilient against advanced and persistent threats in a way that makes data security effortless. Our nearly 7,500 customers love our fully-managed approach—in just the past year, we’ve seen strong annual growth in Microsoft workloads protected by Druva. Our strategic relationship with Microsoft now enables us to extend the benefits of true cloud-based data security to more Azure customers.”
Through this integration with Azure, customers benefit with:
- Cloud flexibility: Protect and secure cloud and on-premises workloads with the flexibility to choose Azure Storage to better meet strategy, spend, and business resilience goals.
- Unlimited scalability: Eliminate the need to deploy any hardware, software, or storage, and gain the ability to scale on-demand without incurring additional costs.
- Unified data security: Druva uniquely provides customers with a single view of their data security from end-users to cloud workloads and SaaS applications, empowering users to act decisively at the first sign of a threat.
- Global deduplication: Automated storage tiering and Druva’s patent-pending global deduplication engine can reduce Azure storage consumption and overall storage costs by up to 40%.
“Cross-cloud resilience is really important to our customers and to most organizations,” Druva CTO Stephen Manley told Channel Insider. “We had customers who came to us and said, I already have everything on AWS, I’d like to have a copy on Azure.”
Druva’s collaboration with Microsoft offers businesses enhanced cyber resiliency with cross-cloud protection, unified visibility across data environments, and more comprehensive data security strategies.
“We want people to understand that they have optionality in the market,” Manley said.
“With the power of Cloud, Druva’s data security capabilities deliver what enterprises require to keep their data safe,” said Sandy Gupta, the vice president of global ISV ecosystem. “Druva is one of the leaders in SaaS data security, and we’re confident our joint customers will gain the cyber resilience they need to minimize the impact of any cyber incident. With Druva and Microsoft Azure, customers will be empowered to further grow their business in the cloud.”
Druva keeps its priorities focused on GenAI, security, and cloud demand
For the rest of 2025, Manley says the company’s priorities remain consistent with where they, and much of the industry, have been for the past year: GenAI and security, along with riding the adoption wave of cloud computing.
“We had a few launches last year focused on how we’re using GenAI to help our customers, especially in how they recover from attacks.”
Gartner forecasts that spending on public cloud services will total $723.4 billion in 2025, up from $595.7 billion in 2024. Given this, Manley says Druva’s goal is to enable partners and customers to leverage multi-cloud capabilities without extra complexities.
“There’s been a tsunami of demand from organizations saying ‘I have more and more assets I need to protect’ as they continue to adopt traditional cloud and also SaaS technologies,” Manley said. “We’ll continue to work on bringing more capabilities and products to market.”
