The Rubrik Cloud Data Management platform addresses the complex challenge of managing and securing data across diverse environments, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid setups. At its core, Rubrik employs a software-defined architecture that consolidates disparate hardware and software components into a single, unified fabric. This approach is underpinned by four key components: Atlas (a cloud-scale file system), Callisto (a distributed metadata system), Cerebro (the data management layer), and Infinity (which provides interface and application awareness).
Rubrik's architecture emphasizes scalability and flexibility, with a scale-out, self-healing design that ensures high availability and performance. The platform is built with an API-first architecture, enabling integration with various cloud providers, databases, and other data management tools. This integration is crucial for automating data protection, archival, and recovery processes. For example, Rubrik's CloudOut feature automates data archival to public and private cloud storage tiers, ensuring data is instantly accessible while maintaining compliance with defined SLA policies.
Operationally, Rubrik simplifies data management through its declarative SLA policy engine, which streamlines backup, replication, and archival processes. The platform also incorporates robust security measures, including encryption in-flight and at-rest, immutable data storage, and air-gapped backups to protect against ransomware and other cyber threats. The Secure Vault feature, in particular, ensures data integrity and availability by implementing zero trust principles, intelligent data locks, and retention locks.
However, there are operational considerations to note. While Rubrik offers broad ecosystem support and vendor-agnostic compatibility, managing policies and ensuring compliance across multiple cloud and on-premises environments can add complexity. Additionally, the cost of data retention, especially in multi-cloud setups, can be significant and requires careful planning to avoid unexpected expenses.
