HYCU Unlocks Efficient DR and Seamless Backup for Dell PowerFlex and Data Domain

At HYCU, we continue to simplify data protection across hybrid, multi-cloud and SaaS environments. Two recent, new updates are great examples of this as they brought greater flexibility, performance, and efficiency to customers. I’ll now share more on What’s New in two key areas: Efficient DR and replication, and validated for Dell PowerFlex in Nutanix Environments.

What’s New: Efficient DR and Replication for Multi-Site Environments

Replicating data across sites and clouds shouldn’t be a heavy lift. But, limited bandwidth, slow transfers, and fragmented tools often get in the way. Without centralized control, IT teams waste hours managing scripts and manual steps just to keep a minimum level of resilience. Now with HYCU, Organizations that rely on Dell PowerProtect Data Domain can manage file replication directly within the HYCU platform. This enhancement uses Dell’s native, high-performance replication protocol to move only unique data blocks between systems. As a result, replication is both faster and more efficient.

You can replicate:

• Between on-premises locations
• From on-prem to cloud
• Or across cloud providers

HYCU controls the process, removing the need for scripts or manual intervention. Replication can be scheduled, managed, and monitored from the same UI that handles all your backup and recovery policies.

What this enables:

• Consistent, policy-driven replication across your hybrid cloud estate
• Optimized bandwidth usage, thanks to block-level deduplication
• Seamless recovery across locations, hypervisors, and platforms

This is full data portability with none of the operational overhead.

What’s New: HYCU Validated for Dell PowerFlex in Nutanix Environments

For organizations using Dell PowerFlex and Nutanix, there’s now a fully validated data protection path, Organizations moving to Nutranix for alternative vendors such as VMware, are still keen to utilize existing investments and technology they already know. That is why Nutanix and Dell have fully validates Dell Powerflex running on Nutanix. And with these technologies come a key challenge, how do i ensure that my data is best protected in this new infrastructure environment. HCYU is that answer

HYCU is the first and only data protection solution jointly validated by Dell, Nutanix, and HYCU for Dell PowerFlex running inside Nutanix environments. This joint validation ensures compatibility, performance, and long-term support across the stack.

This changes what’s possible for infrastructure teams:

This isn’t just certification by one vendor. It reflects a collaborative engineering effort across Dell, Nutanix, and HYCU. All three teams have tested and validated the solution, and remain committed to supporting customers across future platform updates. See joint whitepaper led by Dell product marketing: “Backup and Recovery on Dell PowerFlex with Nutanix Cloud Platform using HYCU and Dell Data Domain.”
