It enables local organisations to abstract and eliminate the complexity of their legacy architectures.<\/p>\n<p>MSPs can deploy Rubrik within their own data centres or at the client\u2019s site in a turnkey appliance or software appliance, to enable powerful business benefits:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Quick setup<\/strong>: Rack and go with automated discovery of the complete infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Policy automation<\/strong>: It takes just minutes to configure backup, replication and archival policies; and assigning VMs, physical applications and databases to policy groups<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Effortless orchestration<\/strong>: Rubrik\u2019s programmatic interface automates how data services are created, consumed and retired across clouds.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Compliance and capacity reporting<\/strong>: Track all of your backup, replication and archival jobs \u2013 and get real-time alerts and dashboards reflecting capacity utilisation, growth and runway.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>API-first architecture<\/strong>: With Rubrik\u2019s API-driven interface you can automate custom lifecycle management workflows.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Backup and recovery<\/strong>: Deliver near-zero RTO and instant recovery testing by mounting VMs directly onto Rubrik (so no rehydration or additional storage provisioning is necessary).<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Replication and DR<\/strong>: Deliver WAN-optimised, asynchronous replication in a multi-way and bi-directional topology. Avoid unnecessary network and storage costs with global deduplication that scales out to the full fabric.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Data archival<\/strong>: Lower your data archival costs by using more economical private or public cloud storage tiers. Not only does Rubrik send deduplicated data to reduce transfer and storage costs, but its global index catalogues data wherever it\u2019s stored, so you can locate data instantly with real-time search.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Scale-out architecture<\/strong>: Scale to thousands of nodes in a single system with ease \u2013 while deduplication, compression and other data services scale in-line with the cluster to maximise efficiency and savings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMSPs can gain far tighter control of their costs,\u201d says Jacobsz, \u201cby taking advantage of Rubrik\u2019s Pay-as-you-Grow models, ensuring that costs are always aligned to consumption and helping to carve out better profit margins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He explains that as data management becomes almost entirely automated, MSPs can elevate their client conversations towards what new outcomes can be achieved with their new-found operational agility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the Rubrik platform controlling one\u2019s data, clients are able to spark more widespread digital transformation, as Rubrik becomes a keystone in building out their new digital architectures,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Value-added distributor, Networks Unlimited, distributes Rubrik across Africa.
