Backup specialist Hycu has launched R-Cloud, a backup development environment to provide a universal data protection platform for as-a-service applications that run in the cloud.
“SaaS [software as a service] represents 70% on average of software used in the enterprise,” said Hycu founder Simon Taylor. “But the problem is that many customers think the data they create is automatically protected in the cloud. It’s not. The applications themselves will survive an outage in the cloud. But if data is deleted due to human error or by ransomware, there’s no way to restore it.”
