I think it is well known that Rubrik is expensive. The product is great, and I cannot deny that, but we are exploring other options such as Veeam and Commvault. Our environment is approximately 90% on-premises, consisting of VMware and Hyper-V VMs and SQL databases.

We did not receive a clear response from Rubrik regarding unlicensed recovery, so I am posting here.

If we do not renew our Rubrik subscription, can we still perform restores from backups stored on our on-premises Rubrik cluster and our own Azure archival storage? Since we are using RSC, would we lose access to RSC if the subscription is not renewed?

If unlicensed restores are still supported, for how long would that remain available?

A couple of months back we have placed order for a Dell server with blackwell GPU via a partner and were promised delivery by the end of August.

Now partner came back saying the Dell production team has rejected the order saying the confguration is invalid.

They are asking us to buy server with lower clock speed CPU other specifications will remain pretty much the same The biggest surprise is they want us to pay a big additional amount for this.

Partner tells us that the configuration was validated and certified by Dell engineering teams in US and Korea.

This is in USA, what are my options?
