Andes delivers new performance peak

"Today, enterprise IT is struggling to manage the surge of data with the influx of tools and overall increased cost and complexity of legacy systems. Organizations need to be able to quickly respond and ensure continuity for increasingly complex environments," said Dan Rogers, President at Rubrik. "With Andes 5.2, we are introducing a significant performance boost for organizations that rely on monster VMware VMs. DBAs will also have access to new tooling that will make it easier to do their jobs, with more control to quickly deliver clones when needed.”

Blazingly Fast VMware Performance

Rubrik Andes 5.2 introduces multi-node data streaming for VMware vSphere to achieve up to 5x backup speed performance improvement for large multi-terabyte VMs. The new release also delivers up to 3x recovery speed boost enabling aggressive RTOs and RPOs for growing VMware requirements. With resiliency to network glitches, Andes 5.2 assures VMware backups and recoveries are completed faster than ever. IT organizations can now respond quickly to restore requests with Rubrik’s predictive search and the ability to restore files to any VM. 

“In the games industry, we create a lot of data and we need to move very fast – there’s no time to stop for backup,” said Ben Hopkinson, CTO of Splash Damage Ltd. a UK-based video game studio and co-developers of Gears Tactics and Gears 5. “Traditional solutions just couldn’t keep up with our change rates. Rubrik modernised our backup and delivers the performance we need to support continuous development on massive VMware VMs. Rubrik Live Mount has been a game changer for us as well – we’ve reduced a painful recovery process that used to take hours down to just minutes.”

More Power for Oracle DBAs

With improved flexibility and control for Oracle DBAs, Andes 5.2 accelerates development cycle times by quickly creating test/dev clones. With roll-forward recovery, Oracle DBAs can now automatically restore a damaged database to the most recent state before the failure occurred. Rubrik offers a comprehensive, modern Oracle enterprise protection solution for any Oracle environment, including full support for Oracle Database Appliance, Oracle Exadata, Oracle 12cR2, 18c, and 19c, Oracle RAC One Node, Oracle RAC, and Oracle Direct NFS.

“We chose Rubrik for its automated management of Oracle databases and its ability to greatly reduce our RTOs,” said Ed Poll, Head of IT Infrastructure at Cranfield University. “With Rubrik, our DBAs have been able to eliminate tedious backup and copy data tasks, and now spend more of their time on key projects rather than day-to-day management of backups. On top of that, Live Mount has provided us with much faster database clones that have really allowed us to keep pace with the needs of our business." 

Advanced Security, Compliance and Resilience

Andes 5.2 provides enhanced role-based access to the administration console, allowing organizations to set permissions to fit their exact needs. A new set of pre-defined roles improves compliance and saves administrative time by allowing organizations to quickly grant access without risk of exposing archived data or backup policies. Andes 5.2 offers new retention capabilities for IT organizations to quickly respond to legal and compliance requirements, allowing them to place snapshots on indefinite hold and avoiding retention changes to existing snapshots once an SLA is edited. Rubrik expands its resiliency with support for multiple replication targets and ability to quickly identify objects that fall out of compliance to their prescribed SLA policies.
