SaaS data protection vendor HYCU has proven adept at adapting to serve its customers and partners. Founded in 2018, HYCU began by providing backup for hyper-converged infrastructure pioneer Nutanix. It expanded its capabilities to cloud backup and now also sells a universal backup platform for SaaS applications. HYCU read the market as its customers moved from on-premises to cloud to SaaS applications and made sure to keep up with the IT trends to meet their needs.  

HYCU protects the likes of AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and VMware along with Nutanix. And now it harnesses generative AI, or Gen AI, as an enabling technology to protect hundreds of SaaS apps with its R-Cloud platform. 

R-Cloud’s low-code approach allows it to go far beyond protection for Microsoft 365 and Salesforce SaaS apps that many backup vendors only support. There are now thousands of SaaS apps and large companies often rely on hundreds of them across their organizations. Users are often surprised to learn customer and configuration data are not protected by these SaaS apps. While data protection vendors will protect the most popular SaaS apps, it’s difficult to meet the demands of all of them.
