New technologies to manage, back up and protect data assets Data is an increasingly valuable corporate asset. But as it becomes more dispersed across hybrid and multi-cloud networks, managing all that data can be a monumental task. These startups are developing the storage systems needed to manage and protect data wherever it resides.
Storage

HYCU Founded: 2018 Top Executive: Simon Taylor, Founder, CEO
Object First Founded: 2022 Top Executive: David Bennett, CEO
Alcion provides AI-driven Backup-as-a-Service for Microsoft 365 applications to protect data from ransomware, mal- ware, accidents and outages. The company announced general availability of its service in September 2023.
Many partners use HYCU as their cloud-native backup and recovery software as a service to protect, manage and recover their customers’mission-critical workloads, including applica- tions, databases and VMs.
Object First’s Ootbi provides value by delivering a highly opti- mized object storage implementation designed for backup storage without sacri cing a ordability, simplicity, perfor- mance or instant recovery.
