Do you have to deal with data protection? Do you usually mess it up? Some people think data protection architecture is broken and requires too many dependencies. By the time a business needs to backup a lot of data, it\u2019s a complex problem to go back in time to retrofit a backup solution for an existing infrastructure.\nFortunately, Rubrik found a way to streamline data protection components. Today, we\u2019re talking to Chris Wahl and Ken Hui of Rubrik.\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\n\nTransform backup and recovery to send data to a public Cloud and convert it to native format \xa0\nAdd value and expand what can be done with data - rather than let it sit idle \nEasy way for customers to start putting data into the Cloud is to replace their tape environment; people hate tape infrastructure more than their backups \nNecessity to backup virtual machines (VMs) probably won\u2019t go away because of challenges; Clouds and computers break\nCustomers leaving the data center and exploring the Cloud to improve operations, utilize automation \nBusiness requirements for data to have a level of durability and availability\nPeople vs. Technology: Which is the bottleneck when it comes to backups?\nWords of Wisdom: Establish an end goal and workflow/pathway to get there\n\nLinks:\n\nRubrik\nChris Wahl on Twitter\nChris Wahl on LinkedIn\nKen Hui on Twitter\nKen Hui on Medium\nAmazon S3\nIBM AS/400\nAmazon EC2 Instances\nAzure Virtual Machine Instances\nre:Invent\nDigitalOcean
