HYCU Introduces Purpose-Built, Agentless Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V 

As IT leaders around the world reassess their virtualization strategy, Microsoft Hyper-V has rapidly emerged a top destination for Microsoft focused organizations moving away from VMware. 

Today, we’re excited to announce that HYCU R-Cloud™ now fully supports Microsoft Hyper-V, offering purpose-built, agentless backup and disaster recovery for one of the world’s most widely used virtualization platforms. 

Why This Matters: The Virtualization Landscape Is Changing 

Broadcom’s changing economic model and approach has led many organizations to rapidly evaluate new platforms, on-premises and/or in the cloud. 

Microsoft Hyper-V, included natively in Windows Server, has become the de facto choice for Microsoft-first organizations re-platforming their infrastructure. But protecting workloads on Hyper-V has often required cobbled-together solutions or legacy software that wasn’t built for today’s hybrid world. 

HYCU R-Cloud for Hyper-V: Built for What’s Next 

With HYCU R-Cloud, you can now protect your Hyper-V environments with the same application-aware, cloud-ready, ransomware-resilient data protection trusted by organizations around the world. Key benefits include:  

• Agentless Hyper-V backup via native integration, no SCVMM or proxies required
• Granular recovery of VMs, files, and app objects with application-consistent snapshots
• Built-in disaster recovery for Hyper-V, with seamless failover and failback
• Zero infrastructure bloat, no media servers or proxy VMs to manage
• Support for hybrid cloud environments including on-prem, Azure, and public cloud
• Cloud-native storage integration with Amazon S3, Nutanix Objects, Wasabi, and more
• Immutable, ransomware-proof backups with anomaly detection and full verification
