The use of Rubrik for Converged Data Management and VMware Virtual SAN for a software defined storage results in a highly performant environment for running and protecting any sort of virtualized workload. In an age where next-generation data centers are focusing on simplicity, scale, security, and automation, there is a strong need for building a stack using solutions that focus on reducing the pressures on infrastructure engineers. Additionally, tightly coupling how infrastructure can provide resources to applications means less capital and operational expenditures.
This week on the Virtually Speaking Podcast while John is vacationing in Mexico, Duncan Epping sits in as cohost as Rubrik Technical Evangelist Chris Wahl walks us through a new white paper he and Cormac Hogan co-authored entitled Rubrik and VSAN.
