Case Study: Valent achieves automated cloud backups and big-data protection with Druva

Valent - Customer Case Study

Valent U.S.A., a leading agricultural technology firm and Sumitomo subsidiary, faced rapidly growing volumes of data across multinational operations and small affiliates with limited IT staff. CIO Erwin Eimers needed a scalable, cost‑controlled way to protect and manage that data while enabling self‑service and keeping operational overhead flat.

Valent adopted Druva’s cloud‑native, AWS‑based SaaS backup platform, eliminating on‑prem infrastructure and automating one‑click backups and restores with a unified management view. The move reduced IT overhead with pay‑as‑you‑go pricing, sped deployments for affiliates, delivered built‑in disaster recovery and business continuity, and added data classification capabilities for ransomware detection and future analytics.
