iManage today (28 May) announced that it has partnered with data protection as a service provider HYCU to provide iManageCloud customers with a new capability for backing up their iManage content to a separate cloud storage location, which they have control over. This new capability will be delivered via a connector that runs inside the HYCU platform, which is under development and said to be available later this year.
The integration with HYCU will address two key use cases:
1. The ability to have a complete backup of all iManage Cloud content – including security details – that can be restored at will
2. The ability to perform targeted restores of documents, folders, or workspaces that may have been accidentally or maliciously deleted
The HYCU integration will support backup to public cloud storage models such as AWS S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud Storage, as well as other cloud storage offerings such as Wasabi.
HYCU supports more than 70 SaaS and cloud services including Atlassian Cloud, GitLab, Microsoft 365, Okta, and Salesforce.
“This new partnership with iManage brings the industry’s most comprehensive and robust data protection as a service to iManage cloud customers,” said Simon Taylor, founder & CEO of HYCU. “Working closely with iManage removes any friction customers have around creating an independent customer controlled back up of files in iManage Cloud while decreasing overall complexity and simplifying their backup and recovery needs.”
Shawn Misquitta, EVP of product management at iManage said that the partnership with HYCU adds another layer of comprehensive data protection to the mix, giving customers the confidence and peace of mind that their data is protected from every angle.
