Case Study: Version 1 wins large, multiyear cloud managed‑services contracts and delivers major cost savings with Druva CloudRanger

Version 1 leverages Druva CloudRanger to win large, multiyear cloud-managed services contracts

Version 1, an Irish IT services firm with a 1,300-strong team and advanced AWS partnership, needed a scalable, AWS-native backup and recovery solution to support large cloud migrations, reduce manual overhead, and meet strict compliance requirements for regulated customers. The company required a data protection tool that integrated seamlessly with other AWS services and could handle petabyte-scale workloads while enabling Version 1 to demonstrate reliable backup and restore capabilities to win enterprise business.

Version 1 implemented Druva CloudRanger from the AWS Marketplace, using CloudFormation for fast deployment and AWS services for processing, storage, delivery, and security. The SaaS solution delivered enterprise-level backup and cross-account flexibility, helped Version 1 win large multiyear managed-services contracts, saved customers tens of thousands of euros per year (including up to 70% on dev/test costs by scheduling off-hours), and reclaimed hundreds of staff-hours annually in backup and restore management.
