Networks Unlimited, an African value-added distributor of converged technology, data centre, networking and security technology solutions, has announced the availability of Rubrik Edge. <\/p>\n
Edge is an evolution of Rubrik\u2019s award-winning cloud-based data management platform \u2013 so remote offices can easily backup data locally, replicating it to central servers and archiving it securely to the cloud.<\/p>\n
With Edge, firms can now extend and automate the backup process. With anytime, anywhere access to the data, users can instantly access company information, wherever the data may reside, by searching a single, global index.<\/p>\n
Anton Jacobsz, Managing Director at Networks Unlimited, notes that Rubrik is one of Silicon Valley\u2019s hottest enterprise technology players. \u201cThey\u2019ve managed to blend exceptional back-end solutions, with elegant and intuitive front-end interfaces \u2013 such as automation and predictive search features \u2013 to create a very easy-to-use experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rubrik\u2019s core Cloud Data Management solution was named as a co-winner of the Gold Award for \u2018Best of VMworld 2016\u2019 in the Data Protection Category.<\/p>\n
“Rubrik Edge eliminates the need for complex infrastructure \u2013 enabling a broad range of critical data management functions in a single software fabric, and across multiple cloud environments,\u201d comments Jacobsz.<\/p>\n
These functions cover the entire spectrum of backup and recovery, including disaster recovery, archiving and compliance, search and analytics and copy data management. <\/p>\n
Jacobsz adds that advanced solutions like Edge help local organisations to see the \u2018bigger picture\u2019 when it comes to data: \u201cIt\u2019s no longer about merely backing up and being able to access information. It\u2019s about organising, contextualising and distributing insights to power better decision-making and spur collaboration among teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cData is truly the lifeblood that runs through the body of any organisation. Managing and deriving value from one\u2019s data should be one of the biggest boardroom priorities,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n
With this goal in mind, Rubrik Edge delivers six key benefits to CIOs looking to advance their data management in an increasingly cloud-based, globally distributed world:<\/p>\n
\u2022\tAutomation<\/strong>: Users simply click to assign out-of-the-box data management policies to virtual machines and applications \u2013 selecting the backup frequency, retention duration, location and other data policies.<\/p>\n \u2022\tUnified console<\/strong>: With an intuitive, response web interface (using HTML 5), users gain visibility into their virtual machines, databases, applications, snapshots, SLA policies, storage usage, ingest throughput and more.<\/p>\n \u2022\tCompliance reports<\/strong>: Ensuring that local firms comply with data protection and governance laws by simply adjusting the policies to suit their region. Real-time alerts let one know when any issues arise.<\/p>\n \u2022\tNetwork and storage savings<\/strong>: Reduce transfer and storage costs by sending reduplicated data for replicating back to the central data centre.<\/p>\n \u2022\tInstant recovery<\/strong>: Users can immediately recall any virtual machines by mounting directly onto Rubrik.<\/p>\n \u2022\tPredictive search<\/strong>: Users get a \u2018Google-like\u2019 experience with predictive search capabilities that scan every file in one\u2019s global databases. \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Networks Unlimited, an African value-added distributor of converged technology, data centre, networking and security technology solutions, has announced the availability of Rubrik Edge.
