Technical Marketing Engineer Rebecca Fitzhugh discusses now Rubrik can be deployed into a public cloud with Cloud Cluster. This effectively uses the same code based as Rubrik whether in the cloud or on-premises. This uses a 4-node cluster to protect Linux, Windows and SQL Server with full backup and recovery of workloads. This can be extended to include archives to the cloud, and replication to off-site DR sites. Rebecca gives a full demonstration of these capabilities.

Technical Marketing Manager Andrew Miller gives an introduction to Rubrik CloudOn, an archiving solution for virtual machines in the cloud. Included as part of their 4.0 release, this allows users to make a power-on archived snapshot of a VM in the cloud. This is optimized currently for VMware to AWS, with more support planned in forthcoming release. This includes the conversion of the .vmx file from a monolithic to a cloud streamable file, allowing for incremental updates after the initial snapshot.
