R-Cloud covers the highest number of applications

HYCU, a reference in SaaS applications backup, joined The IT Press Tour this week in Boston for the 10th times. It was a good time to get a company and product update from Simon Taylor, CEO, and his team as they're growing fast. The installed base passed 4,200 for 78 countries illustrating the rapid pace with 440+ partners. But also a good moment because we saw recently several mergers and acquisitions moves and probably $5 billion have been exchanged.

Launched with the tour last year, R-Cloud has radically changed how users approach SaaS applications data protection. It was clear yesterday that the product team has significantly increased the number of applications supported with 80+ applications. As the IT companies landscape has been highly modified if you compare with the last 10-20 years, the vast majority of applications used by enterprises are SaaS-based.

It is good for HYCU to be listed in some analysts reports even if Gartner has lost its credibility for several years confirmed by recent crazy MQs. I invite the readers to check my various comments and analysis of these Gartner strange documents.

The recent SaaS survey was an interesting source of informations that illustrate that SaaS service feed a scandal without a real serious protection while users don't really know what they use.

R-Cloud has made real progress while competition still focus on classic SaaS applications with an average of 9 supported. And the idea for HYCU is to cover the entire stack to be really considered as a universal or horizontal solution. The last news shared yesterday is related to new applications. In the domain, HYCU now adds:

• Protected infrastructure services with AWS S3 Express Zone, Cloud Formation, Lambda and Google Cloud Run,
• ITSM: ClickUp, Docusign and iManage,
• DevOps: GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, Terraform, CircleCI, Jira Product Discovery and Google Artifact Registry,
• IAM: Microsoft Entra ID, Okta Customer Identity Cloud, AWS IAM, VPC, WAF, KMS, Parameter Store and Route 53,
• Data Management & Analytics: Google Big Table, Cloud Functions, Artifact Registry, Firestore, Redis and Pinecone,
• Collaborative Work Management: Box, Monday, Podio and Wrike.

All this is a good example of the fact that "The industry creates its own complexity, a sign of maturity probably...".
