What HYCU R-Cloud is
HYCU R-Cloud provides data protection for workloads across on-premises environments, public clouds, and SaaS applications. HYCU says its platform covers more than 100 workloads, spanning AI systems, SaaS, cloud environments, and on-premises infrastructure. It offers agentless, application-consistent backups, one-click policy setup, and granular recovery. Backups run multiple times daily, and restores can target individual items. R-Cloud also includes ransomware protection, WORM targets, and air-gapped protection.
For disaster recovery, HYCU describes agentless failover to public cloud. The service also supports on-demand migrations and cross-platform data mobility. A single dashboard provides a view of the data estate and tools to manage protection policies, while role-based access controls address administrator and user permissions. Supported workloads include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Microsoft 365, Atlassian Cloud, GitHub, Box, Salesforce, and Nutanix. HYCU says it does not store customer information and describes the service as providing 100% data sovereignty. The company lists SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, Common Criteria NIAP, DISA STIG, FIPS 140-3, AWS Well-Architected, and GDPR on its security page. R-Cloud is paid and offers a 14-day trial.
