We are thrilled to announce that HYCU's support for DD Boost software is now available on Dell's E-Lab! This is a significant milestone for us, enhancing the value we deliver to our customers and partners.

What is Dell E-Lab?

  • Dell E-Lab serves as a trusted source of truth for qualifying software and hardware configurations involving Dell Technologies and partnering third-party vendors. Think of it as the ultimate compatibility matrix where Dell customers and partners can verify the interoperability of solutions, ensuring they are making the best choices for their IT environments.
  • Dell E-Lab gives customers the confidence they need to transform their data centers. As the industry's premier interoperability testing lab, E-Lab qualifies millions of configurations featuring Dell and third-party solutions  like HYCU. E-Lab also tests and qualifies leading-edge data protection solutions so our customers can quickly and efficiently deploy them in their data centers, on prem, off prem, or in the cloud.

Why Does This Matter?

This achievement is a testament to the robust integration we've built with Dell PowerProtect Data Domain through high performance DD Boost connectivity. Here's why it matters:

1. Increased Visibility:
Anyone who uses Dell PowerProtect Data Domain will find the new HYCU features and capability. It’s worth noting that HYCU stands out as the only backup vendor listed recently named a Visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions, competing head-to-head with other enterprise grade leaders in the space.

2. Enhanced Value for Existing Customers:
For customers already using solutions alongside PowerProtect Data Domain, our integration with DD Boost software offers even more reasons to leverage HYCU with Dell. Our solution not only enables high-speed backups to PowerProtect Data Domain both physical and virtual editions, but also allows for storing more backup data. This is because we reduce data processing, cataloging and storage consumption through world class data efficiency and a reduced need for additional data mover and management servers. This reduces your data protection infrastructure footprint significantly.

3. Empowering Partners and Reps: Our compatibility and support for DD Boost software is officially recognized by Dell. This official listing provides credibility and confidence when positioning and advocating for our solution.
