Druva releases inSync v4.0 Blackbird

Druva Software announced the release of
a new update to its award-winning enterprise laptop backup product —
Druva inSync. Simple, lightweight and scalable in
nature, inSync version 4.0, codenamed Blackbird, after the Lockheed
reconnaissance aircraft, is a first of its kind application aware
de-duplication backup solution for laptops. It is specially designed
to eliminate duplicates at logical-block or object level. It comes
with added features such as a global source-based application aware
de-duplication technology and an embedded new storage engine. With an
average of over 80 percent e-mails being duplicated across users, the
new application aware de-duplication approach provides efficient
backup by optimizing storage bandwidth and ensuring 100 percent
duplicate elimination.

Blackbird uses NoSQL Oracle Berkley
Database (BDB) and provides a low-level storage interface for
maintaining meta-data and in turn eliminates the network and SQL
optimizer layers. It is also equipped with a redesigned WAN
optimization engine-Octopus and a new web 2.0 based management
console. The Octopus WAN optimization engine analyzes available
networks and optimizes the data transfer for latency and packet
sizing.

Commenting on the launch, Jaspreet
Singh, CEO and Co Founder, Druva said, “In this dynamic
environment, global enterprises are constantly facing challenges
relating to data protection and storage utilization. With the launch
of Druva's inSync 4.0 Blackbird, we aim to eliminate these
inefficiencies through our enhanced de-duplication solutions that
guarantee superior performance, scalability and advanced cost
savings. Indeed, technology never fails to surprise you, and this is
an engineering marvel from Druva that I am truly proud to launch.”
