BOSTON, Feb. 10, 2020 – HYCU®, Inc., a pioneering enterprise software company specializing in data backup, recovery and monitoring for next-generation Enterprise Clouds, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Mike Taylor, Senior Director Sales, Americas, to its 2020 list of Channel Chiefs.
