Rubrik Cloud Data Management for NetApp StorageGRID enables customers to optimize data lifecycle management while scaling linearly to meet data demands
National, September 25, 2019 — Rubrik, the Multi-Cloud Data Control™ Company, today announced a new joint solution in collaboration with NetApp, the data authority for hybrid cloud. The solution, Rubrik Cloud Data Management for NetApp StorageGRID, combines Rubrik’s platform with enterprise-grade object storage to automate data lifecycle management through Rubrik’s simple control plane, while using StorageGRID as a cloud-scale object-based archive target. This enables enterprises to quickly find and restore virtual machines, databases, files, and more, regardless of location – in Rubrik, in StorageGRID, and across the public cloud.
