Navigating the many complexities associated with unstructured data presents a significant challenge, particularly in the context of the persistent and relentless cyber threats that organizations face today. However, by integrating Rubrik's NAS Cloud Direct with Pure Storage's cutting-edge FlashBlade technology, complemented by the immutability of Object Lock, we can craft a secure end-to-end solution that safeguards your valuable data against rapidly evolving threats like ransomware.

Protecting unstructured data is crucial because it represents a significant portion of an organization's information. Unfortunately, it often falls prey to unauthorized access and cyberattacks. Traditional methods of data protection often struggle to keep up with the sheer volume and complexity of this data, which makes scalable solutions essential for ensuring security and compliance.

Rubrik's NAS Cloud Direct is changing the game for managing large-scale unstructured data. One of its standout features is high-speed data movement, which uses parallel streams to quickly scan, index, and transfer billions of files without causing any disruption to storage. It also places a large emphasis on comprehensive security, offering encrypted, immutable backups along with credential isolation. Plus, it integrates well with all major NAS platforms, allowing companies looking to move away from their existing platform to transition seamlessly to superior products like Pure Storage’s FlashBlade or Flash Array with file services.

Pure Storage's FlashBlade, with its SafeMode Retention Lock features, when combined with Rubrik's NAS Cloud Direct and its new Object Lock support, significantly strengthen data protection by ensuring the archive target remains both immutable and indelible. These features prevent any changes or deletions during a set period, so you can rest easy knowing your data is protected from accidental or malicious edits while helping organizations meet regulatory compliance.

Pairing Rubrik's NAS Cloud Direct with FlashBlade’s Object Lock provides a range of benefits. The software enhances immutability and overall security, a huge plus in defending against ransomware by making your backup archive unchangeable within the retention period. This means you can restore data quickly and reliably, minimizing any potential downtime, and both solutions can easily scale to keep up with your growing data needs. Object Lock also optimizes storage costs by archiving infrequently accessed data in a more cost-effective manner, allowing the SLA to age out individual objects independently versus less efficient bucket-level protections. 

Elevate the Overall Security and Protection of Your Unstructured Data

Adding Object Lock support for Pure Storage’s FlashBlade, combined with Rubrik’s NAS Cloud Direct, elevates the overall security of unstructured data protection. This critical advancement not only strengthens data security but also enhances operational efficiency and compliance, making it essential for any organization aiming to protect its critical information assets against evolving cyber threats.
