Druvaa launched a new Enterprise Laptop Sync solution called – Druvaa inSync. And within 4 weeks of the launch (of version 1.1), initial response and order books are looking good.
Idea – Fast, simple, secure synchronization for Laptops to an central enterprise server over LAN/VPN/WAN. The inSync client software monitors changes on configured folders and syncs up automatically when the connects to network, securely over a specified bandwidth. Other features
Target – Enterprises.
Presentation –
Future Key Differentiator (ver 2.0) – “Infinite versions” (continuous data protection) – user can go back any previous date/tag and see data “back then” OR a search of file, shows how it looked on various dates.

We are thinking of putting it free (of cost) for 50 clients. And charge when users want enterprise support.
Some questions
1. Did you like it ?
2. Would specially like to hear back from startups which tried this product under our startup and open source initiative.
3. Can this model scale for consumers, where a users sync 2 GB free and 10 centrs/GB after that. Yes, i have heard and tries www.mozy.com , www.idrive.com and IMO –
a) inSync stands appart as a solution
b) “infinite versions” and cost can be a key differentiator
c) Experience says, storage is a big enough market for 100 companies like this.

Jaspreet,
Just happened to drop by venturewoods where I saw this post.
I think the entire embed for the slideshow may not have got copied + pasted, that’s why its not showing up. Maybe do it once again and it should work… (just as a note I tried embedding your slides on another blog and it worked fine).

Sounds good, How would you compare with Veritas Netbackup – Laptop Desktop Option (LDO) ? One thing i can see is that they don’t support backup over Internet (only LAN/VPN).
And how bout Iron Mountain – Connected PC ?
True, storage/backup is a big enough market for more than one players. But, i was thinking in terms of how unique your product is.
Do you have any patents on this ?

i have been using a backup software myself over the internet (amazon s3)….but doing it over to my local servers definitely puts that much more confidence in me…also this is one of those very few things which I think everybody will be willing to pay for…definitely looks like you guys will hit a bulls eye with this.
the only suggestion i would have is to focus slightly more on simplicity, usability, quick configuration, simple to install, unobtrusive etc.
