Rubrik Cloud Data Management Andes 5.2 Release
Palo Alto, Calif.-based Rubrik in April unveiled the Andes 5.2 release of its Cloud Data Management offering for managing, governing and orchestrating data across data centers and clouds. Andes 5.2 provides improved VMware performance with the introduction of multinode data streaming for VMware vSphere to help boost backup speed by 500 percent and recovery speed by up to 300 percent.
