Description

Introduction:

In today’s rapidly evolving IT environments, organizations often face the challenge of migrating data across platforms, clouds, or datacenters without disrupting business continuity. Rubrik offers advanced tools and automation to streamline migrations, ensure data consistency, and minimize downtime. This training will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of migration strategies using Rubrik, covering planning, execution, and best practices for both on-premises and cloud environments.

By the end of this course, participants will be equipped to design, implement, and manage secure and efficient migration projects leveraging Rubrik’s capabilities.

Prerequisites:

1. Basic understanding of Rubrik architecture and components.
2. Familiarity with backup and recovery concepts.
3. Knowledge of on-premises and cloud storage platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).
4. Hands-on experience with virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper-V) is recommended but not mandatory.
5. Basic understanding of networking and security principles.
