Case Study: Build Group, Inc. achieves reliable server and endpoint backups and fast cloud restores with Druva

Build Group Constructs a Comprehensive Server and Endpoint Backup Solution for Enterprise Data

Build Group is a San Francisco–based general contractor supporting roughly 450 employees across multiple offices, handling large volumes of CAD, Office files and SQL databases with long retention requirements. Their legacy on‑prem Dell AppAssure/NAS backups ran almost continuously, causing severe network congestion and sluggish performance, risking data loss in a disaster and complicating endpoint backups for mobile staff.

Build Group moved server backup to Druva Phoenix and adopted Druva inSync for endpoints, gaining a cloud‑native, centralized solution with global deduplication and AWS cold storage. The switch cut on‑site hardware, slashed network traffic and backup windows (typical backups now complete in under 30 minutes), enabled fast VM restores (100 GB in ~30 minutes on 200 Mbps fiber), and recovered stolen laptops’ environments within a day—improving DR posture, lowering storage costs, and simplifying management.
