Strengthening SaaS Backup Control with HYCU and Dirac
As Dirac expanded its use of Jira, Confluence, GitHub, and Microsoft 365, legacy tools like Azure Backup, DPM, and Keepit created gaps in coverage and control. Keepit protected Microsoft 365 but did not support other SaaS apps or provide adequate control over where sensitive R&D data was stored, increasing risk for a global, IP‑driven organization.
Dirac needed a unified, SaaS-aware solution that could:
- Protect multiple critical SaaS platforms from a single place
- Improve visibility across all cloud apps
- Restore control over backup storage without adding operational complexity
Dirac selected HYCU R-Cloud to centralize protection for Microsoft 365, Atlassian, and GitHub in one platform. The team gained an intuitive, policy-based way to configure app-specific protection sets and delegate responsibilities to application owners while IT retained oversight.
Key reasons HYCU R-Cloud stood out:
- Native Atlassian coverage, unlike other evaluated vendors
- Simple setup and ongoing management
- Freedom to choose preferred storage targets for compliance and cost optimization
With HYCU R-Cloud, Dirac now protects its most important SaaS services through a single control plane, significantly reducing the burden on IT. Automated, app-specific protection sets and centralized management have simplified day-to-day operations while improving confidence in recoverability.
Business outcomes include:
- Consolidated protection across Microsoft 365, Jira, Confluence, and GitHub
- Improved visibility into the complete SaaS application estate
- Flexibility to optimize storage locations and costs without sacrificing control
