Excellent Rental Data Centres to simulate a DR (Disaster Recovery) operation .
SunGard provides DR (Disaster Recovery) services at it's data centers. The service is for companies who do not maintain their own dedicated DR sites and need to rent one to conduct a DR exercise for validating it's DR setup. These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements. Companies can rent their hardware cages at SunGard Site and have options to replicate their critical data at the DR site periodically. They can then simulate the DR exercise when desired. Additionally Tape restores are also possible at the DR site.

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"At this point, we have a 100% success rate, which was definitely not the case with any prior system that I've used."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"Overall, it makes operational life way easier."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"The live mount capability is the most valuable feature in the product because it reduces the complexity and gives us good RTO."
 

Cons

"This is a good service, however a costly one."
"We need one system to manage all the Rubrik clusters."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"For Rubrik, though it does a great job, it needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"I don't remember the cost, but I know that for Veeam, we were spending almost $250,000 a year for 205 licenses. It was an enterprise version. When we purchased Rubrik, it was just a little bit more. It was not a terribly huge amount, and if I recall, that was for three years of support as well. So, Veeam priced itself out of the market at a certain point in time."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"Rubrik is priced high, but it was the solution that was providing us encryption and was secure. The solution price is high, but you get what you pay for."
"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
"Some people say it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you want a Maserati, you have to pay for it. If you want to buy a Porsche, you have to pay for it."
