Did You Know: App-centric Data Protection

Did you know that HYCU is the only app-centric tool for virtual/hyperconverged environments?

If you ask the business who is the first-class citizen in modern virtual IT, they will tell you it’s the business application. If you ask the traditional IT infrastructure admin who the first-class citizen is in reality, they will say it’s the VM. HYCU bridges the gap between the business and day-to-day IT operations by providing an industry first app-centric data protection approach for the virtual/hyper-converged environments.

What app-centric actually means

Instead of following the conventional VM-centric approach, where IT teams work with VMs identified by obscure names, HYCU flips the paradigm on its head. HYCU begins by discovering the applications residing within your cloud or virtual environment. Once identified, HYCU allows users to apply backup policies directly to these business applications, ensuring that data protection aligns precisely with business needs. This approach guarantees the consistency and integrity of each user's business data copies.

HYCU has a unique approach of first discovering the applications that reside within the cloud (or virtual environment). After applications are discovered then the user is able to apply the right backup policy per business application, rather than per VM. This approach ensures the right application consistency methods are utilized so that each user is sure his copy of the business data is valid.

Benefits of an App-Centric Approach:

• Application Discovery: HYCU's unique methodology starts with discovering applications within your environment. This proactive approach ensures that each application receives tailored data protection measures.
• Application-Aware Recovery: By operating from the application's perspective, HYCU simplifies and automates complex recovery tasks specific to each application. This capability enhances efficiency and reduces the potential for errors during recovery operations.
• Simplified Management: Managing data protection through an app-centric lens eliminates the need for IT administrators to navigate through VM complexities. Instead, they can focus directly on ensuring the continuity and availability of critical business applications.

Navigating App Protection in Virtual and Hyperconverged Environments:

Protecting applications within hyperconverged and virtual environments can be challenging. Often, IT teams struggle with identifying which application resides in which VM and the manual steps required for application recovery. HYCU addresses these challenges comprehensively by providing:

• Clear Application Mapping: HYCU simplifies the process of mapping applications to VMs, ensuring administrators have clear visibility into application dependencies and data protection requirements.
• Automated Recovery Workflows: With HYCU, recovery workflows are streamlined and automated, minimizing downtime and optimizing resource utilization. 

How do you protect your apps in hyperconverged and virtual environments? How do you know which application resides in which VM? How many manual steps do you need to do to recover your app?
