The size of a business’ digital footprint is expanding at a surprising rate. Global data creation is projected to reach more than 394 zettabytes by 20281 and Gartner reports that 81% of enterprises already use multiple public and private cloud providers.2
This massive data growth and widespread adoption of multi-cloud strategies is driving new demand for dynamic environments like MySQL databases and OpenStack. These technologies offer scalability and flexibility necessary to thrive in such a dynamic environment. However, these advancements also bring formidable challenges in effectively managing and protecting data. Legacy solutions often prove inadequate for the dynamic nature of modern data workloads.
This mismatch between data demand and data capabilities can cause inefficient data protection and poor recoverability, exposing organizations to risks that can compromise their strategic objectives.
At Rubrik, we believe that these modern-day challenges necessitate modern solutions—solutions that not only address today's complexity but also anticipate tomorrow's needs. So we are pleased to announce new data protection capabilities for MySQL and OpenStack—technologies that can help businesses efficiently and securely meet the demands of the current digital landscape.
Embracing the Future: Native Support for MySQL Databases
First, we are thrilled to announce Rubrik's native support for MySQL databases. This enhancement is a game-changer for enterprises relying on MySQL as a cornerstone of their data strategy. With Rubrik's native MySQL integration, data protection is seamless, automated, and tailored to optimize recovery times and minimize data loss.
Our native support addresses the pitfalls associated with legacy data protection methods, extending Rubrik's advanced capabilities to MySQL environments. Businesses can now automatically discover and confidently protect MySQL data, whether deployed on-premises or in the cloud (AWS and Azure; for IaaS database deployments). This can minimize downtime using granular recovery at the instance and database level, ensuring comprehensive disaster recovery for MySQL databases.
This new capability further strengthens Rubrik’s robust database protection portfolio, which already includes support for other critical databases such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP HANA, IBM Db2, and more.
Accelerating Modernization: Native Support for OpenStack
We are equally excited to announce that Rubrik is extending its capabilities to include native support for OpenStack environments. OpenStack, widely favored for its scalability and flexibility, demands a robust data protection solution capable of keeping pace with the business.
With Rubrik, enterprises can now protect the integrity and recoverability of their OpenStack data with a modern, integrated approach. As organizations evaluate their options for virtualized environments and pursue broad application modernization initiatives, Rubrik continues to expand its support for a wide array of hypervisors, including VMware, Nutanix AHV, Microsoft Hyper-V, and notably, our recent formal launch of support for OpenShift Virtualization. This empowers customers with choice and flexibility, ensuring that regardless of your infrastructure choices, Rubrik provides comprehensive, cutting-edge data protection.
Rubrik’s native support for OpenStack provides a unified approach to data management, aggregating disparate processes into a single, cohesive strategy. This enhancement can handle the scale and diversity that OpenStack environments require, empowering enterprises to effortlessly protect applications and infrastructure: IT teams can manage the protection of all OpenStack data through a single interface and recover quickly from an incident, ensuring business continuity across hybrid environments.
