Modernize Your Data Protection for Nutanix in an INSANE World

Modernize Your Data Protection for Nutanix in an INSANE World

There’s nothing more frustrating than doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. For many that is the definition of insanity. At least that’s one definition that is widely attributed to Albert Einstein, and probably a lot more people in current day IT.

It’s also something we see more and more especially as companies look to take advantage of implementing hyper-converged solutions into their infrastructure. In a recent customer conversation, by introducing HYCU within his Nutanix environment, he went from backing up Microsoft Exchange from 18 hours to 18-20 minutes. While this is great from an infrastructure perspective, the focus as we see it needs to be on what business impact that has on the applications and the overall operation. The promise of HCI has always been about simplicity and taking advantage of what combining compute, storage and networking has to offer. That unfortunately in many ways is still today’s current data protection environment.

HCI Is Different

As we have come to find, HCI data protection is different. Both Chris Evans at Architecting IT and George Crump at Storage Switzerland have articulated nicely why.

At HYCU, we believe there is a better way and that you shouldn’t have to put your faith in data protection on hope and wishful thinking. And, you definitely shouldn’t have to think that if you are doing the same thing over and over again and not getting the results you need, you should keep doing things the same way. It’s why we designed HYCU Data Protection for Nutanix the way we did.

Nutanix is the future of HCI

Integrated through the Nutanix APIs, HYCU is designed as the only purpose-built backup and recovery software solution for Nutanix.

Your hyperconverged infrastructure complete protection strategy must include:

  • Agent-free, automated application discovery & impact free data protection
  • Built to be Hypervisor Agnostic – must support AHV and ESX
  • Provide a choice of Protection targets, including any NAS, Nutanix, and public cloud
  • Fully integrated into the Nutanix platform and leverage its core capabilities
  • Self-service deployment and administration
  • Intelligent protection for not just VMs and Apps, but all for Nutanix Files (formerly Nutanix AFS)

With .NEXT happening next week May 8-10 in New Orleans, we know that many attending will be looking for the modernized data protection solution to complement and support their Nutanix-led data center initiative. Make a point of stopping by our Booth, G12 to learn more!
