Description

Introduction

Cloud adoption has become a strategic priority for modern enterprises, but protecting workloads in public, private, and hybrid cloud environments introduces new challenges. Traditional backup methods often fall short in cloud-native environments due to scalability, automation, and dynamic infrastructure requirements.

Rubrik provides cloud-native protection solutions that simplify backup, recovery, and disaster recovery for cloud workloads while ensuring compliance, security, and cost-efficiency. This training will guide participants through Rubrik’s cloud-native features, best practices for protecting cloud workloads, and how to leverage Rubrik’s platform for seamless data management in the cloud.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of Rubrik’s approach to cloud-native protection, including automation, policy-driven management, and integration with major cloud platforms.

Prerequisites

1. Basic understanding of cloud computing concepts (public, private, hybrid cloud).
2. Familiarity with Rubrik platform basics, including UI navigation and SLA policy concepts.
3. Experience with virtualization technologies (VMware, Hyper-V) is helpful but not mandatory.
4. Basic knowledge of storage and backup terminology (snapshots, recovery points, data replication).
