Case Study: Steel and Pipes achieves simple, reliable backup and recovery with HYCU

Steel and Pipes protects 33 TB of backup data with HYCU

Steel and Pipes, a major industrial products supplier based in Puerto Rico, faced a significant data availability and business continuity challenge, especially due to its location in a hurricane-prone area. After migrating to a Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure to reduce complexity, their legacy backup vendor no longer provided support. This left IT Director Hector Maldonado searching for a new, simple, and reliable data protection solution that could support their new environment.

The vendor HYCU was recommended as a native Nutanix solution. After implementation, Maldonado praised HYCU for its simplicity, efficiency, and exceptional support, which included implementing requested features like tape backup support. The solution provided fast transfer speeds and allowed the company to efficiently use different storage targets for backups and archives, ensuring their data was protected across multiple media. HYCU enabled the company to achieve its goal of robust data protection with a platform that was both easy to manage and grew alongside their business.
