Dell Technologies World: HYCU Delivers Backup for Microsoft 365 and Cloud Services With 100% Data Control and Storage Efficiency

HYCU, Inc. announced enhanced support for Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Virtual Edition to protect SaaS and cloud workloads.

Enhanced support empowers customers to safeguard their cloud data with solutions, including backup, DR, data retention, and offline recovery. These measures are designed to protect against internal, external, and supply chain risks, leveraging the exceptional power, cost-efficiency, and reliability of PowerProtect Data Domain.

With the rapid growth of SaaS applications in modern enterprises, platforms like Microsoft 365, GitHub, and Box are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, while cloud-native applications face escalating cloud exploits. According to The State of SaaS Data Resilience Report in 2024, 70% of organizations reported experiencing data loss in SaaS applications over the past year. While enterprises rely on immutable, tested, and enterprise-class backups for on-premises data, equivalent solutions for SaaS applications are often lacking. Even when protection is available, customers must frequently delegate the responsibility of backups to 3rd-party managed storage providers, rather than utilizing secure and efficient storage resources. This gap in support introduces significant data governance challenges, creating inefficiencies, escalating costs, and exposing organizations to heightened risks in safeguarding SaaS application data.

 “Customers have worked hard to protect and ensure recovery of their virtual infrastructure and workloads on-premises. However, as organizations adopt cloud-based business applications and as-a-service offerings, they’re encountering unexpected risk,” said Simon Taylor, founder and CEO, HYCU. “The average midsize enterprise uses more than 200 SaaS applications, whether to host critical IP, document management or private communications. Malicious actors have pivoted to exploit these workloads. We’re thrilled to collaborate with Dell to make sure customers are completely protected and keeping control of their data with the security, efficiency and cost savings of Dell PowerProtect Data Domain Virtual Edition. This milestone underscores our commitment to helping Dell customers protect and manage their entire data landscape with ease.”
