In today’s data-driven world, backup solutions need to be more than just functional—they need to be intelligent, scalable, and seamlessly integrated. The partnership between Rubrik’s cloud data management platform and Cloudian’s enterprise object storage creates exactly that: a backup solution that’s not just amazing, but revolutionary.
Why This Partnership Works So Well
Rubrik’s Simplicity Meets Cloudian’s Scale: Rubrik has built its reputation on eliminating the complexity traditionally associated with backup and recovery. Their policy-driven approach means you set it once and forget it—no more juggling backup windows or managing complex retention schedules. When you combine this with Cloudian’s infinitely scalable S3-compatible object storage, you get simplicity at enterprise scale.
Native S3 Integration: Rubrik’s native support for S3 object storage means the integration with Cloudian isn’t an afterthought—it’s architected from the ground up. This deep integration eliminates the friction points that plague other backup solutions when trying to leverage object storage benefits.
Cost-Effective Long-Term Retention: Traditional backup approaches become prohibitively expensive for long-term retention. Cloudian’s object storage economics change this equation dramatically, enabling organizations to retain backup data for years without breaking the budget. Combined with Rubrik’s intelligent data management, you only store what matters.
The Technical Magic Behind the Scenes
The beauty of the Rubrik-Cloudian combination lies in what you don’t have to manage. Rubrik automatically handles data deduplication, compression, and encryption before sending data to Cloudian’s object storage. The result? Massive storage efficiency gains that translate directly to cost savings.
Cloudian’s enterprise-grade object storage provides the durability and availability that backup data demands, while supporting Rubrik’s instant recovery capabilities. When you need to restore data, Rubrik can pull it from Cloudian storage and have your applications running in minutes, not hours.
Real-World Benefits You’ll Experience
Set-and-Forget Operations: Deploy once, and the solution handles everything—backup scheduling, retention management, storage tiering, and capacity planning. Your team can focus on strategic initiatives instead of backup babysitting.
Predictable Costs: Unlike cloud storage with unpredictable egress charges, Cloudian’s on-premises model provides cost certainty. You know exactly what you’re paying, making budget planning straightforward.
Rapid Recovery: When disaster strikes, the Rubrik-Cloudian combination delivers. Whether you need to recover a single file or an entire application, the integrated solution provides multiple recovery options with enterprise-grade speed and reliability.
Future-Proof Scalability: Start small and grow seamlessly. Both platforms scale independently, so you can adjust compute and storage resources based on your specific needs without over-provisioning.
Beyond Basic Backup
This isn’t just about backup and restore anymore. The Rubrik-Cloudian partnership enables advanced use cases like:
- Cloud Archive Integration: Seamlessly tier older backup data to public clouds while keeping recent data local for fast recovery
- Ransomware Recovery: Immutable backup copies in Cloudian object storage provide the clean recovery points you need when ransomware strikes
- Dev/Test Data Management: Instantly provision development environments from production backup data without impacting production systems
- Compliance Automation: Automated retention policies and legal hold capabilities ensure you meet regulatory requirements without manual intervention
The Bottom Line
The combination of Rubrik and Cloudian transforms backup from a necessary evil into a strategic advantage. You get enterprise-class data protection without enterprise-class complexity, scalable storage without scalable costs, and rapid recovery without compromising on data integrity.
In an era where data is your organization’s most valuable asset, settling for adequate backup protection is a risk you can’t afford. The Rubrik-Cloudian partnership delivers the seamless, intelligent, and cost-effective data protection that modern businesses demand.
Ready to experience what backup should be? The combination of Rubrik’s innovative data management and Cloudian’s enterprise object storage isn’t just an amazing backup solution—it’s the backup solution that lets you sleep soundly, knowing your data is protected, accessible, and ready when you need it most.
