NEW DELHI: Global cybersecurity company Rubrik said it will utilise AMD EPYC processors for its data security platform to deliver cost-effective and artificial intelligence (AI)-ready solutions to enterprise customers while expanding deployment options in cloud environments.

The companies in a joint statement said that organisations are moving from on-premises to cloud environments and the demand for AI-powered solutions is on the rise, noting that organisations, particularly among financial services and others, are increasingly turning to AMD technology for mission-critical workloads.

‘As we look to the future, we plan to lead with AMD technology in our upcoming product generations, responding to market demand and the clear advantages in performance efficiency,’ said Arvind Nithrakashyap, co-founder & chief technology officer (CTO), Rubrik.

To meet growing customer demand for lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) without impacting performance or security, Rubrik is expanding its partnership with AMD that began in 2018 with the E1000 appliance and currently includes nearly 50% of Cloud Native Protection being run on AMD instances in AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with more support continuously being added.

Rubrik is now planning to significantly expand AMD EPYC processor availability across its third-party hardware ecosystem, with solutions currently available on Dell and HPE platforms, and a Cisco-based solution launching in the coming quarter.

Rubrik has two cloud offerings--Cloud Native Protection and Rubrik Cloud Cluster. The cybersecurity firm said it is adding AMD instance support to Rubrik Cloud Cluster in AWS, Azure, GCP and OCI by the end of July.

‘AMD EPYC processors can deliver exceptional performance with leading-edge energy efficiency, helping companies like Rubrik meet their customers’ growing demands of data security while helping reduce environmental impact,’ said Derek Dicker, corporate vice president (enterprise and HPC business), AMD.
