Partnership announcement: September 2025

🎉 The Partnership That Changes Everything for Malta Businesses

This isn't just another vendor announcement. This is about giving Malta businesses access to the same bulletproof data protection used by Fortune 500 companies—without the Fortune 500 price tag.

The Malta Data Protection Crisis We're Solving

The Harsh Reality Facing Malta SMBs

Recent disasters that could have been prevented:

The shocking statistics:

67% of Malta SMBs have inadequate backup systems

What Makes Druva Different from Traditional Backup

🌍 Global Deduplication Technology

The problem with traditional backup: Every file gets backed up separately, creating massive storage costs and slow recovery times.

Druva's solution: Advanced deduplication means only unique data gets backed up, reducing storage requirements by up to 85% and dramatically cutting costs.

Real savings: Malta businesses typically save €300-800 monthly on storage costs alone.

🔄 100% Automated Everything

Traditional backup headaches:

Manual scheduling and monitoring
Failed backups going unnoticed for weeks
Complex recovery procedures
Constant maintenance and updates

Druva's automation:

Automatic backup scheduling and execution
Instant failure notifications and self-healing
One-click recovery for any file or system
Zero maintenance—updates happen transparently

🛡️ Air-Gapped Ransomware Protection

Why traditional backups fail against ransomware:

Backed-up data stored on connected networks
Ransomware encrypts both live data AND backups
Recovery becomes impossible

Druva's ransomware-proof architecture:

Data stored completely separate from your network
Immutable backups that can't be encrypted or deleted
Even if ransomware hits, your data remains untouchable
Recovery continues normally while you deal with the attack

⚡ Instant Recovery (Minutes, Not Days)

Traditional backup recovery:

Locate the right backup tape or drive
Hope the backup isn't corrupted
Wait hours or days for full restoration
Pray everything works correctly

Druva's instant recovery:

Search and find any file in seconds
Restore individual files in under 2 minutes
Full system recovery in 15-30 minutes
Granular recovery—restore just what you need

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is this different from our current backup system?

A: Traditional systems backup to hardware you own and maintain. Druva is a cloud-native service that eliminates hardware, provides instant recovery, and includes ransomware protection that most traditional systems lack.

Q: What happens to our existing backup system during migration?

A: We run both systems in parallel until Druva is fully validated, then help you decommission the old system. You're never without protection during the transition.

Q: Is our data stored in Malta?

A: Data is stored in EU data centers (Ireland, Netherlands) to ensure GDPR compliance and low latency. You can specify data residency requirements during setup.

Q: How quickly can we recover from a ransomware attack?

A: With Druva's air-gapped architecture, you can begin recovering clean data within minutes of identifying an attack. Full system restoration typically takes 15-30 minutes.

Q: What size business is this suitable for?

A: Druva scales from small businesses with a few employees to large enterprises. Our Malta partnership focuses on SMBs (5-250 employees) with pricing optimized for this market.

Q: Do we need to hire additional IT staff?

A: No. Druva is fully managed, and our local partnership provides all necessary support. Most businesses reduce IT workload because backup management becomes automated.
