Piggybacking off the heels of being named “Visionary” in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions, we thought it would be a good moment in time to ask our colleagues from across the company what it meant to be a visionary. Here are a few of the responses.

Being Visionary Means:

What makes HYCU a visionary is not about solving the problems and pain points companies are facing in their environments today, but the ones in the future. Understanding that there is already a massive sprawl of data silos in the world that companies of all sizes face.
