RUBRIK
the organisation .” Every organisation we work with today has some documented modernisation strategy , and we see them focusing on ( 4 ) main transformation areas : Modernisation ( reducing complexity and cost ), Automation ( both onsite and in the cloud ), Security ( Resiliency everywhere ), and Harmonisation ( One pane of glass ). “ Those four pillars are where we see the potential for active innovation and operational disruption ,” he states .
To assist these modernisation efforts , Rubrik favours a ‘ crawl , walk , run ’ strategy that helps customers understand exactly how much data they have , what systems and applications depend on that data , and what the organisation ’ s desired data protection is and data strategy end state looks like . From here , Rubrik works closely with customers to help modernise their infrastructures , reducing complexity and costs , and to take advantage of automation to drive security , compliance , and
governance across their entire on-premises and hybrid cloud enterprise environments . Often during this process , a company might not have good fidelity on how much data they really have , and they rarely have consistent data protection policies across hybrid clouds , meaning that budgets for cloud migration can quickly become more expensive than they anticipated . “ To prepare teams for this , we help customers dig a little deeper into what they really want to get out of their data , bearing in mind all of the data access , egress , and storage cost implications of managing and securing their data . We also sometimes get folks who are a little too ambitious : they pick the biggest , oldest , gnarliest system -and it ' s just too hard . Therefore , we frequently share lots of lessons learned , and we do plenty of handholding and provide candid counselling to help them through that .”
Another essential component of quality data management today is automation
