According to a recent press release, “Rubrik, the Cloud Data Management Company, today announced the launch of Rubrik Polaris, the industry’s first SaaS platform for Data Management Applications. Rubrik Polaris revolutionizes the data management market, specifically backup/recovery, archival, and DR, by providing a global policy framework, workflow orchestration, and deep data intelligence as cloud-delivered applications. The digital transformation of business brings significant data and application explosion challenges to the enterprise. Not to mention, as many companies implement cloud-first policies and explore multi-cloud approaches, data becomes increasingly decentralized across disconnected locations and services. In order for enterprises to retain control, implement governance, and meet compliance goals, a new breed of data management applications based on a unified system of record is needed to secure and manage data and applications across data centers and clouds.”

The release goes on, “Polaris represents the next giant leap in Rubrik’s evolution as the Cloud Data Management company. The Polaris SaaS platform creates a unified system of record for business information across all enterprise applications running in data centers and clouds. The system of record includes native search, workflow orchestration, and a global content catalog, which are exposed through an open API architecture. Rubrik and other developers will leverage these APIs to deliver high-value data management applications for data policy, control, security, and deep intelligence. These applications address the challenges of risk mitigation, compliance, and governance within the enterprise.”
