In today’s AI-driven and research-intensive landscape, organizations are producing and gathering more data than ever before. With high-performance computing (HPC) needs expected to drive the market to $69.88 billion by 2028, rapid data processing and complex simulations are more essential—and demanding—than ever.
The explosive growth of unstructured data in these environments poses unique challenges, often outpacing traditional data protection methods. These legacy systems frequently struggle to deliver the speed, scalability, and resiliency required in today’s enterprise. This can lead to security vulnerabilities, data loss, and operational slowdowns that can disrupt critical research and AI advancements.
For organizations managing massive data volumes and dealing with high-performance computing, achieving cyber resilience is no longer optional; it’s essential to preserve business continuity and secure customer trust. With Supercomputing 24 (SC24) just around the corner, the brightest minds in technology, research, and innovation will be contending with these very issues. As one of the leading global conferences for high-performance computing (HPC), SC24 showcases groundbreaking advancements that address the world's most complex computational challenges.
Rubrik at Supercomputing 24: Shaping the Future of Data Security
As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, prevention tactics alone are no longer sufficient. In these HPC environments, protecting unstructured data and ensuring quick recovery from cyberattacks have become paramount. The contents of unstructured data can be sensitive, making it a prime target for cyber threats and elevating the need for organizations to strengthen their defenses against breaches, ransomware, and other malicious activities. Safeguarding sensitive data is also essential for ensuring compliance with stringent regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.
“One of the critical pieces organizations are coming to understand today is prevention isn't good enough. They have to have a contingency plan for when a cyber attack occurs, and they need to be able to fight through that cyber attack to keep their business operations going, or to reconstitute those business operations if they have been compromised.” said Michael Mestrovich, Rubrik CISO.
Join Rubrik at Supercomputing 24, where cyber resilience meets speed and scale, and discover how we’re redefining data security for modern organizations facing exponential data growth and heightened cyber threats.
This year, we're excited to showcase Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct, our advanced solution that tackles the complex challenges of unstructured data management and cyber resilience, empowering organizations across industries to maintain data protection and operational continuity with ease. You’ll experience first-hand how NAS Cloud Direct is designed to keep pace with the demands of high-performance environments. You’ll see how the solution offers:
High-Speed Data Backups at Scale
Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct is designed to manage and protect unstructured data at petabyte-scale. It enables organizations to protect billions of files across all NAS technologies with highly efficient scanning, indexing, and data movement. Engineered for exabyte-size environments, NAS Cloud Direct employs parallel data streams to optimize network throughput and ensures minimal user disruption through dynamic throttling. Our recent internal test has shown it can perform a first full backup of 238 million objects in just 11 hours and 46 minutes and restore those objects in 6 hours and 52 minutes.
Cyber Recovery
Rubrik has been ranked highest for the ransomware protection, detection, and recovery use case in the 2024 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software Solutions1. With built-in air-gapped security features and ransomware detection, Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct safeguards your critical data from cyber threats, allowing you to recover quickly while minimizing downtime. In the event of a cyber attack, it enables you to quickly identify which files and objects were impacted and where they are located. After completing the analysis, you can simply select all impacted applications and files, specify the desired location, and restore the most recent clean versions to an on-premise or cloud target in just a few clicks.
Data Forensics & Compliance
Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct scans backups automatically for sensitive data and provides actionable insights to reduce sensitive data exposure by discovering what types of sensitive data they have and where it lives. This helps organizations proactively reduce sensitive data exposure, stay compliant, and avoid hefty fines.
