Key features and benefits

The following features make R‑Cloud a solution that can transform your business—achieving complete compliance and data protection:

• Protection against data loss

  Delivers native data protection for applications, instances, virtual machines, buckets, storage accounts, and SaaS applications, ensuring data consistency and easy recoverability.

• Data protection in a few minutes

  Data protection can be enabled in a few minutes after you subscribe to R‑Cloud, with no deployment and configuration concerns.

• SaaS discovery and protection

  In-built SaaS discovery provides new-found visibility into SaaS applications that your organization is using and the data protection status of these applications.

  The discovered results are presented via R-Graph – a visual representation of your SaaS data protection environment – enabling you to quickly gain more insight into the status of your SaaS application data protection.

• Application discovery and protection

  In-built application discovery provides new-found visibility into instances running in cloud environments and clusters, pinpointing where each application is running. The application‑specific backup and restore flow ensures that the entire application data is protected and can be recovered to a consistent state and a specific point in time.

• Predefined policies and options for policy customization

  Simplifies implementation of data protection by providing predefined policies and includes options for policy customization that can address your special data protection needs.

• Scheduled backups

  Automatic backup scheduling provides data protection based on your recovery point objectives (RPOs).

• Centralized data protection management and monitoring

  You can join your sources into protection sets to establish centralized data protection management and monitoring.

• Lower impact on the environment

  Agentless architecture reduces backup load on production instances. In addition, backup windows enable you to completely avoid the impact of backup activity on your production environment during peak hours.

• Use of data archives

  When you create an archive of data, you ensure your data is isolated from your current activity and safely stored for future reference.

• Restore of individual files

  A possibility to restore one or more files is an alternative to restoring the entire instance or disk.

• At‑a‑glance overview of the data protection environment

  The R‑Cloud dashboard helps you to identify potential problems and bottlenecks to improve the performance of your data protection environment.

• Optimized consumption of storage space

  The HYCU changed block tracking feature slows down the growth of backup data on targets, resulting in significant space savings and consequently reduced storage cost.

• Integration with your cloud provider billing system

  Cost of data protection is billed by your cloud provider through existing billing or management accounts, without requiring you to provide additional billing information.

• Business continuity of your data protection environment across different infrastructures

  The SpinUp functionality ensures data resilience by allowing you to migrate protected data between the on-premises and cloud infrastructures. In the event of a disaster in your on-premises environment, the SpinUp functionality provides disaster recovery of data to cloud. For details on the supported on-premises infrastructures and how to employ the SpinUp functionality, see HYCU R‑Cloud Hybrid Cloud Edition documentation.
