Palo Alto, CA – August 16, 2016 – Rubrik, the leader in converged data management, today announced the release of Rubrik Firefly delivering the world’s first Cloud Data Management platform. With a growing number of organizations pursuing public cloud to reduce cost and time-to-market while retaining business agility, Rubrik Cloud Data Management enables enterprises to leverage public cloud services to deliver data protection, search and analytics, archiving and compliance, and copy data management capabilities across all their workloads.

  • Rubrik Cloud Data Management pioneers a complete platform to deliver data protection, search and analytics, archiving and compliance, and copy data management capabilities for hybrid cloud enterprises.
  • Rubrik Firefly release embraces physical workloads (Microsoft SQL, Physical Linux), extends to edge environments (remote and branch offices), and spans across clouds (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure).

“The Firefly release demonstrates the breadth and depth of our vision to deliver complete data management, across platforms and application types. Rubrik allows enterprises to manage all their data with groundbreaking simplicity and velocity while blending in public cloud to drive business innovation,” says co-founder and CTO Arvind Nithrakashyap.

Data Management for the Cloud Generation

Over the past year, Rubrik has delivered record business growth due to overwhelming customer demand across enterprises of all sizes and verticals, including Fortune 500 companies. Organizations are shedding complex, legacy multi-tiered solutions for simplified data management purpose-built for cloud to recover, manage, and secure data across private, public, and hybrid clouds. Rubrik delivers mission critical data management functions in a single software fabric spanning clouds—from backup and recovery, disaster recovery, archiving and compliance, search and analytics, to copy data management.

  • Instant Access – Rubrik delivers instant application recovery and predictive global search by unifying data locked within disparate application silos into one globally indexed namespace while leveraging zero-data cloning technology to enable on-demand copy data workflows.
  • Automated Orchestration – Rubrik nearly eliminates daily operational management by enabling a single policy engine to orchestrate service level agreements across the entire data lifecycle. The Rubrik programmatic interface automates how data services are created, consumed, and retired across clouds.
  • Security and Compliance – Rubrik secures data whether in-flight or at-rest throughout its lifecycle, regardless of location. The Rubrik platform delivers granular user provisioning and data permissions across all cloud data management workflows while providing automated compliance reporting to successfully complete various industry and internal audits.

Data Management that Embraces Physical and Edge Workloads

Rubrik’s Firefly release, debuted to an oversubscribed Early Access Program, extends data management to:

  • Physical Microsoft SQL Servers – Rubrik radically simplifies Microsoft SQL server protection with a single service level agreement policy engine to automate SQL server data management, and deliver application consistent, incremental forever, and point-in-time recovery (PITR) with intelligent log management.
  • Physical Linux Servers – The Rubrik platform enables easy protection for physical Linux servers by enabling policy driven, incremental forever data management while providing global predictive search for instant access to file versions across clouds.
  • Remote and Branch Offices – Rubrik extends data management to all business locations with Rubrik Edge. Delivered as a software appliance, Rubrik Edge retains the hallmark Rubrik simplicity while providing complete data protection to remote and branch offices.
