The solution, Rubrik Cloud Data Management for NetApp StorageGRID, combines the company’s platform with enterprise-grade object storage to automate data lifecycle management through the firm’s control plane, while using StorageGRID as a cloud-scale object-based archive target. This enables enterprises to quickly find and restore VMs, databases, files, and more, regardless of location – in Rubrik, in StorageGRID, and across the public cloud.

As data continues to grow, managing infrastructure for backup, recovery, and compliance becomes complex. IT teams must juggle managing the infrastructure for mission-critical applications, while also delivering services on-premises and in the cloud to achieve a competitive advantage.

On top of this, enterprises face challenges in optimizing the cost, performance and compliance of new cloud services due to evolving regulations and business requirements. With the company’s Cloud Data Management for StorageGRID, IT teams can power business applications while optimizing cost and performance at scale.

“The combination of our industry-leading data management platform with NetApp’s enterprise-grade object storage offers a powerful solution for enterprises looking to accelerate and simplify data lifecycle management at cloud scale,” said Wendy Bahr, chief commercial officer, Rubrik. “NetApp is a strategic partner for Rubrik and we believe this scalable solution will reduce data protection complexities as data continues to grow.“

Rubrik Cloud Data Management for StorageGRID delivers policy-based automation to simplify all aspects of data management and enable global file-level search, providing customers with instant access to massive amounts of unstructured data.

Key features of joint solution include:

Policy-based simplicity: Cloud Data Management for StorageGRID deliver policy engines that automate lifecycle management while optimizing performance, latency, cost, and compliance.
Cost-effective scale: Customers can handle rapid data growth while avoiding forklift upgrades for secondary and archive data. Linear scalability allows teams to grow at their own pace.
Cloud mobility: IT teams can migrate to their cloud provider of choice and migrate petabyte-scale NAS shares directly to StorageGRID.

“NetApp is committed to helping our customers maximize the value of their data whether on premises, or in a private, public or hybrid multicloud environment,” said Brad Anderson, EVP and GM, cloud infrastructure business unit and storage systems and software business unit, NetApp, Inc. “The combination of Rubrik’s Cloud Data Management platform with StorageGRID simplifies all aspects of data management from backup to recovery, providing customers with the ultimate peace of mind.“

The Cloud Data Management platform organizes and protects data on-premises, at the edge, and in the cloud. Users can eliminate manual backup job scheduling with simple policy-based backup and archival to public or private clouds, including StorageGRID. Enterprises can simplify backup and recovery, accelerate cloud adoption, deliver automation at scale, and defend vs. ransomware with a consumer-grade interface .

“ePlus has had a longstanding partnership with both NetApp and Rubrik, and this new solution addresses a major need for customers looking to optimize and digitize their IT environments,” said Ken Farber, president, ePlus, Inc. “This joint solution from NetApp and Rubrik should help businesses better leverage their data lifecycle management processes, allowing them to quickly and easily optimize cost and performance at scale across the public cloud.“

StorageGRID is a software-defined object storage solution that supports industry-standard object APIs such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) API and OpenStack Swift API. Users can create multiple service levels with metadata-driven object lifecycle policies, optimizing durability, protection, performance, cost, and location across multiple geographies.
