Case Study: Billion Dollar Construction Firm achieves full recovery from ransomware and 66% cost savings with Druva

Billion dollar construction firm fully recovers from ransomware with Druva, where Veeam backups fail

A billion-dollar North American construction firm with thousands of employees and 50+ remote offices (40+ with on‑prem file servers) faced rapidly growing, fluctuating data needs and rising, unpredictable backup costs. The company was relying on Veeam and Mozy but needed centralized visibility, cloud-first protection for physical and SaaS workloads, and impenetrable ransomware safeguards as it scaled.

After a Druva proof of concept showed immediate 2.5x global deduplication, the firm adopted Druva’s cloud-native platform—cutting data protection costs by about 66%—and used Druva plus AWS Snowball Edge to recover from a ransomware attack, fully restoring 40+ file servers in days. The move delivered air‑gapped cloud backups, centralized management, rapid restores without paying a ransom, and significant storage and cost savings.
