Druva Releases InSync v4.0 Blackbird

Druva Software has announced the release of a new update to its award-winning enterprise laptop backup product Druva inSync.

Light weight and scalable in nature, in Sync version 4.0, codenamed Blackbird. It comes with added features such as a global source based application aware de-duplication technology and an embedded new storage engine which redefines performance of data de-duplication enabled backups while supporting up to 16 TB de-duplication storage per server.

Blackbird uses NoSQL Oracle Berkley Database (BDB) and provides a low-level storage interface for maintaining meta-data and in turn eliminates the network and SQL optimiser layers. It is also equipped with a redesigned WAN optimisation engine Octopus and a new web 2.0 based Management Console. The Octopus WAN optimisation engine analyses available networks and optimises the data transfer for latency and packet sizing.
