The Druva Cloud Platform offers a consolidated view on the status of your data protection ecosystem, and configured workloads and services. The integrated platform brings a consistent user experience with a comprehensive view of all services available to you based on licensed services and access privileges. With this migration, we hope to build a unified experience for AWS Workloads customers and bring security parity for EC2 backups.
The Druva Cloud Platform dashboard offers a workload-centric view and is tailored as per your role and licensed services.The Data Protection Summary provides an at-a-glance view of all the workloads and resources being protected, the storage and licenses/credits consumed, and the last backup status. You can also gather insights on the security and compliance status to get a view on how resilient your data protection ecosystem is.
