Boston, Massachusetts, July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HYCU, Inc.
(https://www.hycu.com/), a leader for modern data protection for on-prem, cloud
services and SaaS, and one of the fastest growing companies in the industry,
announced today that CRN (http://www.crn.com/)(®), a brand of The Channel
Company (http://www.thechannelco.com), has named HYCU R-Cloud
(https://www.hycu.com/platform) as a finalist for the 2024 CRN Tech Innovator
Awards. HYCU is being recognized for R-Cloud in the Data Protection, Management,
and Resiliency category.
This annual award showcases innovative vendors in the IT channel across 36
distinct technology categories ranging from cloud to storage to networking to
security. The 2024 winners were selected by a panel of CRN editors who reviewed
hundreds of vendor entries and solution provider testimonials. Standout
innovators were selected as finalists based on a number of criteria, including
key capabilities, uniqueness, technological ingenuity, and ability to address
customer and partner needs.
HYCU R-Cloud, is a single, integrated SaaS platform that offers enterprise class
automated backup, granular recovery, data migration, and disaster recovery
across on-premises, multi-cloud platforms, cloud services, and SaaS
applications. Delivered as a true cloud-native SaaS solution, HYCU R-Cloud is
built on an agentless architecture, eliminating unnecessary additional hardware
or software. A key component of R-Cloud is HYCU R-Graph
(https://www.hycu.com/platforms/hycu-r-graph) that provides data estate
discovery and visualization, supporting more than 70 data sources. In January
2024, HYCU made HYCU R-Cloud easy to extend to new data sources to protect at
scale and to help cover new data sources efficiently and easily through the HYCU
Generative AI Initiative (https://www.hycu.com/news/hycu-inc-leverages-
anthropic-to-revolutionize-data-protection-through-generative-ai-technology).
This Initiative helped to seamlessly integrate generative AI technology,
including Anthropics' AI assistant Claude with R-Cloud, redefining the
development process of data protection integrations and creating an easy-to-use
way to create SaaS integrations. This innovation helps partners to develop and
reduce the time to build new data protection modules from weeks to hours. This
is a stark contrast in the time it may take legacy data protection providers to
build and add new protection capabilities to data sources.
"We are pleased to recognize the commitment to continuous innovation among this
year's CRN Tech Innovator Award finalists. Each of these vendors delivers
cutting-edge technology that meets evolving customer needs and creates new
opportunities for solution providers and the broader IT channel ecosystem," said
Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel
company. "We look forward to future innovations from the recipients and to
seeing how their solution provider partners use these offerings as the
foundation of new, inventive solutions."
"As we know, the proliferation of SaaS application use and the need for modern
data protection to make critical SaaS application data available and
recoverable, has never been higher," said Simon Taylor, Founder and CEO, HYCU.
"We developed HYCU R-Cloud to address the data protection challenges of existing
on-premises infrastructure to the emerging needs of Cloud Services and Platforms
and SaaS application data. None of what we have accomplished would have been
possible without a team of engineers that are immersed in multi-platform,
database, and SaaS application backup, restoration, and availability. Thank you
to CRN's editors for the selection, we are excited to see R-Cloud gain the
recognition it so thoroughly deserves."

announced on crn.com on August 7, 2024 and will be featured in the August issue
