Case Study: Jenkon achieves 4X SAN storage cost reduction and 3X reduction in backup management time with Druva Cloud Platform

Jenkon leverages Druva to protect and recover business critical and Microsoft 365 data

Jenkon, a longtime provider of direct-selling software and the J6 platform, moved its platform and internal infrastructure to the cloud, consolidating physical servers into Microsoft Hyper-V VMs and migrating email and file services to Microsoft 365. Its legacy backup (Quest NetVault) stored backups on-site in a SAN and left Microsoft 365 data unprotected beyond Microsoft replication, creating DR vulnerabilities and no cloud-native recovery option; alternative solutions like Veeam would have doubled storage costs.

Jenkon ran a proof-of-concept and implemented the Druva Cloud Platform to back up Hyper-V and Microsoft 365 natively to the cloud, giving off-site isolation, a single-pane management experience, and minimal hardware overhead. The result: a 4X reduction in SAN storage/costs, a 3X reduction in time and staff for backup management (from three people to one), seamless recovery after a hardware failure, long-term retention for SOX/GDPR/PCI compliance, and the ability to recover OneDrive and Exchange data beyond Microsoft’s retention window.
