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: seems like the slideshare embed is working – pls let me know what problem you faced. Pls note that I have used the regular embed code, and not the wordpress embed code.
@ Steve,
Good question. There are bunch of softwares to take a backup on a drive or over a network share and work well for LAN scenarios. Most importantly these softwares do a very poor job when it comes to security. The leader is Veritas DLO (desktop Laptop Options). When DLO and likes load up, your laptop battery is almost drained.
There are no (at least from what i know) software which can take a good differential (delta) backup, bandwidth optimized, compressed and secure over LAN/Internet. inSync footprint is just 5 MB and CPU load never exceeds 1/2 %.
And above all we expect that Druvaa inSync – CDP should break all the rules.
@amit,
When i add the code given by slideshare, venturewoods scrambles it 🙁
@virat,
inSync is like an Online Backup/Sync for enterprise users. Whenever they are traveling, when they connect to an network insync starts the sync of file changes.
The changes are applied atomically, that is file would be old or new nothing in between. And server side versioning ensures second layer of protection.
But, this product is _not_ targeted _yet_ at multi device/user sync scenarios.
The public beta would solve it, but from a new innovative way.

i am just throwing few points for your review
what about the analysis of the data in terms of file difference?
what if i am not able to send complete info….then what is the process ?
P2P sharing of data for furthur synch of information between large set of users or authenticated users.
Auto updation of changes done at other level synchronized to my usage of file system?
Can this be used for marketing of the content during the sycho process or after sycho process?
Mobile phone update or SMS update of the data and data changes if data is dealt by more then one user.
i know they r stupid points…..but i always feel them during excel sheet of google products.
