The problem

Your backup data
is held hostage.

Every enterprise that decides to switch backup vendors hits the same wall: historical data locked in proprietary formats. The only exit is the original vendor's consultancy — slow, expensive, and dependent on the very vendor being replaced.

12–18 months average migration window

Projects drag on while business operations wait — blocked by vendor schedules and proprietary tooling.

$1M–$5M consulting cost per project

Vendor consultancy is the only option — and they know it. Pricing reflects your complete lack of alternatives.

Zero independent software solutions

Until HCV, no autonomous software existed to read proprietary backup formats outside the vendor's own tools.

The solution

HCV reads any proprietary format
and replays it natively.

No restore. No intermediate staging. Data flows directly from source to destination — metadata, retention and integrity preserved end-to-end.

Predictable cost per TB migrated

SaaS model. Pay for what you migrate. Tiered pricing by volume. No upfront license fees.

Fully vendor-independent

No dependency on source or destination vendors. You own the process, timeline and data.

✦ Artificial Intelligence Engine

The AI that understands
your backup environment
before you ask.

HCV's AI Engine doesn't just move data — it thinks through the migration. It scans your source environment, detects policy structures, suggests optimal mappings, scores confidence on each decision, and flags risks before a single byte moves.

AI-powered discovery & scan

Autonomously enumerates nodes, filespaces, policies and schedules. Zero manual input.

Intelligent policy mapping with confidence scores

AI suggests the best destination equivalent for every source policy — rated 0–100% confidence.

Pre-flight AI risk detection

Flags incompatibilities, version gaps and unresolvable mappings before migration starts — never after.

Real-time audit & compliance log

SHA-256 per object, immutable log. Every AI decision recorded for LGPD, GDPR and SOX auditors.

Why now

Six forces are accelerating
backup migrations.

Enterprise backup modernization is no longer optional. The window has never been wider.

Cloud Migration

On-prem backup stacks being modernized to AWS, Azure and GCP at an accelerating pace.

Vendor Lock-in Revolt

Enterprises demand portability and freedom from proprietary formats they can't escape.

Regulation

LGPD, GDPR, SOX and BCB 4.893 require strict data retention, portability and auditability.

M&A Consolidation

Each merger leaves 2–4 redundant backup platforms that must be consolidated to cut costs.

TCO Pressure

Companies abandoning expensive legacy licensing (TSM, NetBackup) for modern alternatives.

Data Growth

Backup volumes doubling every 3–4 years — breaking legacy stacks and forcing migrations.

Why HCV

No direct competitors.
Only bad alternatives.

Compare HCV against the options enterprises are forced to use today.
