NAS Direct Archive
Built for Scale
NAS Direct Archive allows you to efficiently store massive unstructured datasets elsewhere on-premises or in the cloud. Unlock policy-driven simplicity, cost savings, and high performance at scale. Drive operational efficiencies with incremental-forever backups and fast file scans.
Challenges with NAS Backup Alternatives
-
NDMP: Includes Performance at Scale
Backup window is too long due to periodic full backup requirements, increasing RPO SLA failure rates.
-
NDMP Infrastructure Burden vs. Fast Recovery
Slow indexing creates bottlenecks on the infrastructure; without indexing and granular restores, recovery time is lengthy
-
Scale-Out Backup Appliances: Higher TCO
Being locked in with storage provided by scale-out backup appliances results in higher TCO.
Benefits with the Rubrik Approach
Protect massive amounts of data - animations, video, and design files - at lower costs. Orchestrate data across on-prem to cloud.
Discover your data instantly, everywhere with global predictive search. Rubrik captures and indexes all files, on-prem or in the cloud.
Minimize storage and egress costs with incremental-forever backups. Rubrik only stores metadata while sending files directly to your archival location.
How It Works
-
1Mount NAS volumes directly onto Rubrik – no proxies required. All data is captured in its native format.
-
2Rubrik delivers parallel ingest and incremental-forever snapshots for fast backup performance. Integrates with native tools, like Isilon ChangeList, for 10x faster file system scans.
-
3Automate backup and archival schedules via one SLA policy engine. Assign SLAs at the fileset level.
-
4Instantly discover data with predictive search. Unlock cloud for cost effective long-term retention.
-
5Restore files in-place or to an alternate NAS platform to avoid vendor-lock in.
