Sinha said a typical installation can be set up in 15 minutes, and that it scales out in 2U-size servers.
All of an enterprise's data and files are in one large, hardware- and cloud-connected data lake (or ocean, as may be the case) that can be searched backward and forward using metadata thus the "time machine" reference. This infrastructure connects to the cloud (Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google), and gives users a hybrid cloud infrastructure, he said. Rubrik does away with all the point products (backup server, backup proxies, replication, accelerators, deduplication, disk storage, tape, off-site storage) that are necessarily involved in conventional backup and recovery systems. On March 25, after a full year in operation, the Palo Alto, CA-based company announced that it received $10 million in Series A funding, and has launched an early access program for its Converged Data Management platform for hybrid clouds. Thompson, who was CEO of Symantec and on the short list for an Obama cabinet post, is now chairman of Microsoft. Any IT startup company with the names John Thompson, Mark Leslie and Frank Slootman listed as angel investors is probably one that other investors ought to check out.
