RBK-GX

Rubrik-Optimized S3-to-Tape Archive Gateway

Value proposition

The most cost-efficient, durable tier for Rubrik-protected data — verified tape archival with transparent, on-demand recall.

RBK-GX presents an S3-compatible archive endpoint to Rubrik while moving long-retained data onto LTO tape. Incoming objects are staged in a local cache, cataloged, and asynchronously written to tape in checksum-verified containers — with automatic recall back through the same S3 interface when data is requested again.

Features

Native S3-compatible endpoint purpose-built for Rubrik Security Cloud and Rubrik CDM, with full AWS SigV4 request verification
NVMe landing-cache buffer absorbs backup ingest bursts so client uploads never stall waiting on tape
Automatic tape archival with checksum-verified containers and configurable SINGLE or DUAL copy durability
Transparent recall — archived objects are automatically rehydrated from tape on request
Direct SCSI robotic changer control — no external backup middleware required for media management
PostgreSQL-backed catalog as the single source of truth for every object, version, and tape location
Role-based access control with MFA and enterprise directory (LDAP/AD) integration
Governance buckets with retention, legal hold, and audit-export workflows for compliance

Use cases

Rubrik-integrated long-term archive
Ransomware-resilient offline retention
