Rubrik Announces Andes 5.0 Release, Enabling Global Enterprises to Protect, Automate, and Govern Mission-Critical Applications and Data Across Hybrid Clouds

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Rubrik, the Cloud Data Management company, today announced the Andes 5.0 release of its flagship Cloud Data Management platform, delivering a single software to protect, automate, and govern applications and data across datacenters and clouds. Rubrik Andes, the company's fourteenth and most expansive release, accelerates enterprise digital transformation with groundbreaking innovation for mission-critical applications, including Oracle and SAP HANA® business data platform, and cloud-native applications, including Microsoft Office 365 and NoSQL databases.

"Rubrik's Andes 5.0 release provides a single software platform to protect and organize business critical information for implementing governance, meeting compliance, and recovering from today's intensifying security threats. With Rubrik Andes, enterprises achieve business uptime, accelerate development, and leverage the cloud for all mission-critical and next-gen applications ? all foundational to digital transformation."
