HYCU, Inc., a pioneering enterprise
BaaS company specializing in hybrid and multi-cloud data protection as a
service, announced a new offering designed to give customers an easy and
effective way to protect and manage their AWS data. With this offering,
customers will be able to take advantage of HYCU Protégé for AWS to gain
lifetime protection of 1 TB of AWS data for free and also gain access to HYCU's
industry-leading 24x7x365 support. HYCU Protégé for AWS is a comprehensive,
fully managed data protection service that provides 24x7 support, and includes
monitoring of backup success with proactive alerting and enhanced ransomware
protection in the event of an attack.
With more
than 60 percent of organizations' data currently stored in the public cloud, companies regardless of size rely on cloud infrastructure
to protect their data. HYCU fundamentally believes
in safety and security of data, regardless of location. Following on the
successful introduction of R-score, a public service initiative designed to
help organizations be better prepared to recover in the event of a ransomware
attack, this new offering offers customer backup as a public service
to ensure that at minimum, every
organization has access to industry-leading data protection for their
mission-critical AWS data. To take advantage of the offer, customers can sign up directly with HYCU.
"It comes as no surprise
that there are still organizations that do not protect their data on public
clouds," said HYCU Founder and CEO Simon
Taylor. "Even if a company
takes advantage of the native, free options, it is incumbent on the customer to
manage, protect and be able to recover in the event of an outage, human error
or insidious ransomware attack. At HYCU, we know there is a better way to solve
data protection needs, and we are proud to offer the world's first
free-for-life data protection service, to help companies begin to protect their
AWS data.
HYCU Protégé
for AWS is currently available
on the AWS Marketplace. HYCU for AWS has a number
of compelling features that make it an attractive solution for AWS customers
who need cloud-native data protection, data migration and disaster recovery,
including:
- 100%
SaaS: HYCU does
not require additional hardware or software. Customers only pay for what
they use without any added infrastructure requirements.
- Purpose-built
and native for AWS:
HYCU uses native snapshots and AWS Identity Access Management (IAM),
resource tagging, S3 storage tiers, and elasticity for a
tightly-integrated solution.
- Agentless,
impact-free backups:
HYCU uses zero agents needed. HYCU provides full protection without the
lag and performance of many on-premises tools.
- Dynamic scaling: HYCU is finely tuned to
provide auto-scaling, up or down, based on a customer's application needs.
HYCU never asks customers to pay for capacity upfront and they only pay
for what they use.
- Customer
has 100% ownership of data.
HYCU never stores a customer's data nor sells storage that a customer
would not need. Customers have complete control of their data while
benefiting from a fully managed service.
- 10x
faster deployment: There
is no wasted time on configuration, patches, or upgrades with HYCU. HYCU
simplifies installation and customers are ready to protect data in
minutes. This also means ransomware protection as well.
