Legacy, server-based backup architectures introduce hidden costs that grow as environments scale. This white paper provides a detailed cost comparison between Veeam and a SaaS-based approach, highlighting infrastructure, software, security, and administrative expenses.

The paper contrasts these with Druva’s fully managed SaaS model, which eliminates infrastructure, simplifies operations, and improves security. Real-world sizing models demonstrate up to 40% TCO reduction while delivering stronger ransomware resilience, faster recovery, and improved operational efficiency.
