There's something poetic about returning to where it all began. As the HYCU team sets up for what will be a busy week in Washington DC at Nutanix .NEXT 2025 this week, we can't help but reflect on our journey that started in this very city eight years ago.
Where It All Began
In 2017, Washington DC served as the backdrop for HYCU's official launch at Nutanix .NEXT. What began as a purpose-built data protection solution specifically designed for Nutanix environments has evolved into something much more comprehensive, yet our commitment to innovation with Nutanix has never wavered.
As we return to DC this year, we're not just celebrating our shared history—we're showcasing how far we've come together and the exciting new capabilities we're bringing to the Nutanix ecosystem.
A History of Firsts
From day one, HYCU has pioneered numerous industry firsts for Nutanix environments:
- First purpose-built backup and recovery solution specifically designed for Nutanix
- First to provide native, agentless protection for AHV workloads
- First to support Nutanix Files with application-consistent backups
- First to deliver integration with Nutanix Calm
- First to offer multi-cloud data mobility from Nutanix environments
And we're proud to add even more groundbreaking firsts to our legacy:
- First fully integrated cyber resilience solution covering the entire Nutanix data estate
- First to introduce malware scanning using Nutanix native snapshots
- First to offer native data protection for Nutanix Database Service (NDB)
- First to provide comprehensive support for Nutanix Cloud Clusters on Azure and AWS
Total Cyber Resilience for the Modern Data Center
With the recent introduction of HYCU R-Shield, we now support Nutanix environments for total cyber resilience coverage represents our continued commitment to providing comprehensive data protection for our joint customers. In an era where GenAI-powered cyber threats target critical infrastructure with increasing sophistication, the Nutanix community deserves protection that evolves just as quickly.
Our expanded cyber resilience capabilities now extend to:
- Nutanix Database Service (NDB)
- Nutanix Cloud Clusters on Azure and AWS
- Extended SaaS and cloud data protection on Nutanix Unified Storage
With our military-grade hardened backup appliance, vTPM integration, and DISA-STIG certification, HYCU maintains the smallest possible attack surface while delivering the fastest ransomware recovery for Nutanix environments.

We invite all attendees to visit us at Booth #S10 this week from Wednesday through Friday, May 7-9, to learn more about our latest innovations and discuss how we can help protect your Nutanix-led data center and hybrid cloud environment.
This return to DC isn't just a homecoming—it's a celebration of our continued innovation and commitment to the Nutanix community. We've come full circle, but the journey is far from over. As cyber threats evolve and data environments become more complex, HYCU remains dedicated to pioneering new solutions that keep our customers' data secure, available, and resilient.
