Case Study: Sandy Alexander achieves 520 hours reclaimed and secures 370 TB with Druva

Sandy Alexander Advances Security of SaaS Apps and Hybrid Workloads with Sycomp and Druva

Sandy Alexander, a multi-channel marketing communications firm with four U.S. locations, struggled to protect applications and user data spread across four data centers and Google Workspace while shifting to an OpEx/AWS model. IT faced fragmented backup tools, limited Google Workspace license retention that caused permanent data loss when employees left, and time-consuming administration—about 10 hours a week—plus shortcomings with their previous off‑site backup solutions.

After partnering with Sycomp and adopting the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud via AWS Marketplace, Sandy Alexander consolidated backups for Google Workspace, VMware, SQL Server and file servers into a single SaaS platform. The company now protects 370 TB, secures 300 Google Workspace accounts 24x7, achieves granular restores (including a 5‑minute RPO for SQL), and uses an air‑gapped architecture that improves ransomware resilience—reclaiming roughly 10 hours per week (about 520 hours/year) of IT time.
