How HYCU helps with RTO-driven target selection by being simple

Did You Know: RTO-driven Target Selection

October 17, 2017

Did you know that HYCU advanced logic optimizes the capability of your backup infrastructure based on your RTOs?

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is one of the toughest data protection service level objectives to achieve from an end user’s perspective. In simple words, RTO is the time you need to bring your data/application up in a case of a disaster. It requires in-depth expertise, advanced administration and configuration of your complete production, as well as your backup infrastructure.

In the legacy IT landscape, siloed management tools often led to fragmented solutions, making it challenging to plan effectively around RTOs. Modern enterprise cloud environments have revolutionized this approach by automating technology stacks and implementing Service Level Objective (SLO)-based management. HYCU extends this paradigm to data protection with advanced logic that optimizes backup infrastructure to meet specified RTOs efficiently.

How complex is it to translate RTOs to IT requirements?

Mapping RTOs to IT infrastructure requirements is a complex endeavor. Often, IT departments resort to overprovisioning infrastructure and adopting generalized policies to ensure some level of performance guarantee. However, this approach frequently results in underutilized resources and inefficient operations, as administrators struggle to articulate and meet precise RTOs.

How does HYCU do it?

HYCU’s mantra is simplicity.

But what does one need to do in HYCU in order to be able to define different RTOs for different policies (classes of data) and at the same time have optimized utilization of the infrastructure? In one word, nothing! The user just needs to define the business requirements, RPO, RTO and retention time - and leave the rest of the settings on auto-drive.

Behind the scenes, HYCU dynamically allocates backup data based on infrastructure capabilities, continuously adjusting to optimize data throughput across various paths. This automated approach not only enhances efficiency but also ensures that backup operations align closely with business needs without manual intervention.

But don’t just take my word for it, try HYCU and see for yourself.
