Case Study: Cerium Networks achieves simplified multi‑cloud backups, stronger security, and nearly 25% cost savings with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud

Cerium Names Druva a Strategic Partner to Strengthen Security Posture and Simplify Environments

Cerium Networks, a Washington-based systems integrator serving over 500 clients, was grappling with a disaggregated, costly backup stack—Azure VMs, Amazon S3, multiple vendors and bills—that grew 40% and required logging into VMs to manage backups. The team needed a scalable, SaaS-based solution to protect VMware and Microsoft 365 workloads, simplify operations for clients, and strengthen defenses against rising ransomware risks.

Cerium adopted the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud to consolidate multi‑cloud backups into a single, cloud-native platform with immutable backups and ransomware recovery features. The move eliminated infrastructure maintenance, reduced backup management time, cut costs by about 25% with one predictable bill, resolved many customer complaints, enabled sub‑5‑minute recovery of a decade of deleted email, and improved Cerium’s cyber insurance posture.
