Case Study: Maximus achieves 3x lower data protection TCO and 6x faster recovery with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud

Maximus Accelerates its Journey to the Cloud and Lowers Data Protection TCO by 3x

Maximus, a leading provider of government digital services, needed to accelerate a cloud-first migration to AWS while modernizing expiring on‑prem backup systems. Facing four months to replace IBM Tivoli/Veritas workflows that relied on tapes and lacked granular access, the IT/EDP team required a cloud-native, hybrid data protection solution with a single pane of glass, delegated project-level controls, and compliance with regulations like GDPR and FedRAMP.

They chose the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, gaining cloud-native backup and restore, global visibility, and role-based administration across SaaS, on‑prem, and AWS workloads. Druva eliminated tapes and appliances, enabled rapid AWS migration and 24x7 protection of 1,000+ compute and database instances, reduced TCO by 3x, and sped restores 6x (from about an hour to ~10 minutes).
