Announcing HYCU R-Cloud Hybrid Cloud Edition for Pure Storage on Nutanix

Across industries, infrastructure modernization often follows a familiar path.

IT teams adopt Nutanix to simplify operations and drive consistency across virtualized environments. They choose Pure Storage FlashArray to support performance-intensive workloads with low latency and high efficiency. Together, these platforms create a streamlined, high-performance foundation for hybrid cloud.

But data protection has struggled to keep pace. Most solutions rely on a one-size-fits-all approach or bolt-on integrations that were never built for modern platforms. The result: unnecessary complexity, performance tradeoffs, and security gaps that create friction for IT teams and risk for the business.

That’s the gap HYCU is closing.

We’re excited to announce that HYCU R-Cloud Hybrid Cloud Edition now includes full support for Pure Storage running on Nutanix, bringing cyber-resilient, agentless data protection to one of the most modern infrastructure stacks in the enterprise.

By deeply integrating with the Nutanix platform, HYCU R-Cloud delivers a seamless, performant, and secure data protection experience, without the overhead of legacy backup tools.

Built for the New Reality: Disaggregated, High-Performance Infrastructure

Legacy backup architectures weren’t designed for today’s dynamic, multi-platform environments. They introduce overhead, rely on proxies and agents, and miss the opportunity to leverage platform-native intelligence.

HYCU R-Cloud was built differently

Designed from the ground up for modern hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure, HYCU natively integrates with Nutanix and now supports Pure-powered deployments without compromise.

This includes:

• Direct integration with Nutanix using Pure FlashArray as external storage
• Full coverage of Nutanix Files, Volumes Groups, Objects, VM’s, NDB, NC2 and more
• Support for performance-aligned storage targets such as Pure FlashBlade Object Storage, Nutanix Objects, and public cloud object storage (AWS, Azure, GCP)

Key Capabilities Now Available

Organizations running Pure Storage on Nutanix can now take advantage of:

• Agentless, Nutanix-native backup and recovery: HYCU eliminates the need for agents or proxy servers, reducing infrastructure overhead and simplifying deployment and operations.
• Built-in cyber resilience with R-Shield: HYCU R-Shield performs source-side active malware scanning before data is written. Combined with immutable backups, this ensures clean, tamper-proof recovery points.
• Granular, one-click recovery: Restore anything, entire workloads, virtual machines, or individual files, quickly and easily, without custom scripts or specialized expertise.
• Flexible storage options: Backups can be stored wherever they make the most sense for your business, all while maintaining control and sovereignty over your data, including:
  • Pure FlashBlade Object Storage
  • Nutanix Objects
  • AWS, Azure, GCP, and Wasabi
  • Dell PowerProtect Data Domain 
• Seamless cloud extension: Replicate backup data to public cloud for long-term retention or disaster recovery with minimal setup and no added complexity.

Why This Matters

By combining HYCU R-Cloud Hybrid Cloud Edition with Nutanix and Pure Storage, organizations gain a protection strategy that matches the performance and operational efficiency of their infrastructure.

This enables IT and security teams to:

• Centralize backup management across hybrid environments
• Recover confidently from ransomware or data loss using scanned, immutable backups
• Eliminate complexity from legacy tools, agents, and manual recovery workflows
• Extend protection to cloud platforms without introducing operational or cost overhead
• Align with compliance and governance policies through policy-based controls and visibility

The result is a more secure, agile, and future-ready hybrid cloud environment, where backup and recovery become a strategic advantage, not a burden.
