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.

Source

Any backup platform

  • IBM Storage Protect (Aka TSM)
  • Veritas NetBackup
  • Commvault
  • Veeam Backup & Replication
  • Rubrik · Dell EMC

HCV Engine

Autonomous pipeline

  • Native proprietary format read
  • Transformation & metadata pipeline
  • SHA-256 integrity per object
  • Compliance audit log (LGPD · GDPR · SOX)
  • Real-time operations console

Destination

Any modern target

  • Any modern backup platform
  • Cloud-native storage targets
  • Metadata & retention preserved
  • Native replay — looks like real backup

5–10× faster than consulting

Weeks instead of 12–18 months. No waiting on vendor availability or proprietary tooling.

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.

On-Premise Freedom

Enterprises running fully on-prem can now migrate between backup platforms without touching the cloud — preserving data sovereignty and security posture.

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 and others) 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.

Approach Cost Time Vendor independence

Source vendor consultancy $1M–$5M 12–18 months None
Destination vendor consultancy ~$500K 9–12 months Limited

The HCV advantage

Software, not consulting.
Per TB, not per project.

Three structural advantages no consulting engagement can match.

Who We Are

Built for enterprise.
Delivered by people who understand it.

Where the idea came from

Every enterprise IT team knows the feeling. You've outgrown your backup platform. Costs are climbing, support is aging, and a better option exists. But when you ask how long it would take to migrate — the answer is always the same: months. Sometimes over a year. A team of engineers. A budget that doubles halfway through. And the quiet, constant risk that something gets lost along the way.

So most organizations don't migrate. They stay. Not because the platform is good — but because leaving feels impossible.

We built HCV because that shouldn't be true.

What we do

HCV DATA MIGRATION is the first AI-powered platform that fully automates backup data migration between enterprise platforms — starting with IBM Storage Protect and Commvault, and expanding across Veeam, Veritas NetBackup, and Dell EMC.

Our AI agent handles everything: source discovery, policy mapping, data transfer, integrity validation, and target activation. What used to take six to twelve months of professional services now takes days. Every retention policy is preserved. Every byte is validated. And the whole process is documented in a signed audit report.

No data loss No compliance gaps No lock-in

Why we exist

Backup vendor lock-in is one of the most invisible — and most expensive — problems in enterprise IT. Organizations pay for platforms they no longer want, delay modernization projects they need, and accept operational risk they shouldn't have to.

HCV is not a backup company. We don't compete with IBM, Commvault, or Veeam. We make it possible for enterprises to move between them — on their terms, on their timeline, without disruption.

Our mission is simple: your data should move as freely as your strategy requires.
