OVHcloud and HYCU, Inc., a leader for modern data protection for on-prem, cloud services, and SaaS, and one of the fastest growing companies in the industry, announced a partnership where the two companies will offer channel partners the ability to resell HYCU R-Cloud Hybrid Cloud Edition licenses hosted on OVHcloud cloud infrastructure.

"HYCU enables customers to better protect their Nutanix workloads, and Nutanix on OVHcloud has always worked well with HYCU, so we wanted to take our partnership a step further by giving our channel partners the ability to get everything they need in one go," commented David Devine, Global Strategy Leader, Partner Program, OVHcloud. "Backup and disaster recovery can be complex at the best of times, so we have simplified the process for reseller partners to provide a secure, pre-configured solution at a compelling price point that's 100% compatible and integrated with our Nutanix cloud services."

The OVHcloud service is available for 25 to 500 virtual machines and starts at just under £140 per month for 25 VMs. HYCU R-Cloud is designed to simplify backup, storage, and disaster recovery for businesses across on-premises, cloud and SaaS, and to deliver protected data mobility for databases, workload, and applications running both in on-premises infrastructure and in public clouds.

"HYCU is 100% committed to our strategic partners. Partnering with OVHcloud allows us to provide organisations with access to a European infrastructure vendor with global reach," said Wendy Inwood, Senior Manager, EMEA Channel, HYCU. "Businesses today need a fundamentally different approach to protecting their data to ensure data is available and recoverable in the event of simple human error or malicious attack. Together, our collaboration with OVHcloud offers a compelling and competitive way to keep data safe and make sure businesses are up and running, and can get back to full operation in the event of an outage."  

"HYCU on Nutanix with OVHcloud allows organisations to gain high levels of resiliency for their business," added Devine. "In today's volatile technology and cybersecurity climate, customers are looking for partners who can make their lives as simple and secure as possible, and this service helps our partner community to provide this."

In addition to the HYCU partnership, OVHcloud has extended its range of Nutanix-qualified dedicated servers for the partner community, adding its Scale servers to the range of existing High-Grade servers. This offers even greater flexibility and choice, enabling channel partners to extend the services to smaller customers thanks to the competitive price/performance ratio of the range, and given their suitability for resource-intensive production environments that need high service availability.

OVHcloud also offers both Bring Your Own License (BYOL) and license-included options for Nutanix environments, as well as compatibility with its S3 Object Storage, NAS-HA and NetApp ONTAP managed file storage. OVHcloud's extensive range now offers 192 configurations and is available across seven datacenters including the UK, Europe and the Americas.
