Boston, Massachusetts, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has included HYCU on its prestigious annual Storage 100 list in the Data Recovery, Observability and Resiliency category for the sixth consecutive year. HYCU was also recognized as one The 40 Coolest Data Recovery/Observability/Resiliency Vendors of the Storage 100.
The CRN Storage 100 spotlights storage vendors advancing innovation, delivering cutting-edge technology, and supporting high-impact strategic partnerships. Selected by the CRN editorial team, each company on the list was chosen for its dedication to bringing best-in-class storage offerings to the channel.

“Our partners and their customers continue to face the challenge of having too much unprotected data and no clean, simple way to ensure cyber resilience. With the number of SaaS platforms in use growing, and the need to move data between clouds and from on-prem to clouds and back, there is little room for error whether it’s a simple human mistake or a malicious ransomware attack,” said Simon Taylor, Founder and CEO, HYCU. “We continue to drive innovation with our partners to deliver comprehensive data protection, recovery, and resilience that provides choice that is critical for customers. Thank you to the editors and The Channel Company team for recognizing HYCU for our significant contributions to the channel and partner communities.”
