Specifications delineate the necessary conditions and functionalities for the correct operation of Rubrik’s data management platform. These encompass hardware prerequisites, network configurations, software compatibility, security protocols, and performance benchmarks. For instance, adequate CPU, memory, and storage resources are indispensable for optimal performance, as is adherence to supported operating system versions and network bandwidth standards.
Adhering to the defined parameters is essential for seamless deployment, effective data protection, rapid recovery capabilities, and predictable operational costs. Doing so ensures the solution can effectively manage data backup, replication, and archival while maintaining data integrity and security. Compliance also facilitates easier integration with existing IT infrastructures and reduces the potential for unexpected downtime or performance bottlenecks. Initially, these specifications reflected simpler data protection needs; however, they have evolved to accommodate the complexities of modern hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
