Data protection and management firm HYCU has expanded its R-Cloud to improve data mobility for databases and applications running both on-premise and in public clouds.
With the updates HYCU says enterprises and service providers have the flexibility to ensure their data is on the “right hybrid or public cloud at the right price”.
HYCU says that, typically, 40% of the moves from one cloud or service to another results in a shift to a different infrastructure, so customers need to plan a “holistic strategy”, and eliminate unnecessary hardware or software tools.
The provider now supports data infrastructure on Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI), along with AWS, AWS GovCloud, Azure, Azure GovCloud, Google Cloud, Nutanix, VMware and others.
Additional benefits from the upgrade include the automatic discovery of applications when moving data to provide “seamless protection”; unifying data protection through simplified backup, disaster recovery, and migration processes; “one-click” mobility, protection, and recovery; and the placing of workloads in their most suitable locations, to “free up budget and resources”, said HYCU.
Simon Taylor (pictured), CEO at HYCU, said: “Customers need to make sure their applications and key data workloads are set up in such a way to be quickly mobile so they are able to take advantage of the right platform at the right price point.
“We are freeing applications from infrastructure lock-in. Our customers now have the ultimate freedom to choose the infrastructure that best suits their needs, be it on-premise, in the cloud, or on a SaaS or cloud service of their choice.”
