"With our legacy solution, we were unable to perform granular restores. With Rubrik, the difference is night and day—it takes minutes to recover our data from on-prem and the cloud. We also have the granularity to recover exactly what we need."
"Rubrik’s consumption model allows for pay-as-you-go flexibility, which provides us with a low-risk and low-cost recovery platform and helps us establish long-term profitable relationships with our customers."
"We were having issues with our EFS volumes with our legacy solution; we spent many hours with the support team, but the problems weren’t getting fixed. We were also frustrated by having to speak to first-line engineers every time we contacted support. In one case, we were down for a week and it took four days to reach third-line customer support. This was unacceptable."
"In the past, we had to call our previous vendor to check if the backup was successful, whereas with Rubrik we know it’s completed from Rubrik’s reporting on its user interface. Maintenance was even more of a pain. Every time new software was released we would have issues with the agents or with our logs not being truncated. Rubrik integrates directly into VMware vSphere and Nutanix AHV, so we don’t have any agent management overhead."
"Our infrastructure is distributed over a number of data centers. Storage is provided through the private cloud as well as a hyper-converged data farm. Our environment is over 80% virtualized with about half of our data in the private cloud and half in the data farm. We wanted to centralize our data management in a way that could not be accomplished with our legacy backup solution, which was based on traditional disk arrays."
“It was clear that Rubrik was the best solution for our needs. It provided high performance and scale-out architecture while ensuring all our data was secure throughout its lifecycle."
"We were excited by the simplicity and flexibility of a single product that can report on both physical and virtual environments. We take an automation-first approach to all of our deployments. Rubrik’s robust APIs integrate seamlessly with our internal automation framework and workflow engine."
"Our IT strategy is to be on the cutting edge of technology and automate processes wherever possible to help us further extend our competitive advantage in the market. Rubrik fits perfectly with this mindset and has enabled us to completely automate our backups. We wanted the best data management system available, and Rubrik fit the bill."
"Our previous solution was time-consuming and costly to upkeep. We were spending more than 16 hours a week just managing backups, not to mention the additional cost of outsourcing consultants. On top of that, there were several occasions where faulty backups impacted our systems. From a business continuity standpoint, this was a red flag since we couldn’t guarantee our RTOs."
"From ensuring secure access to student’s emails, providing computer software at our research labs, or enabling a staff member to complete a purchase order, IT lives at the center of the university. With Rubrik, we have peace of mind that our data is protected."
"We absolutely love SQL Live Mount; it intelligently handles data management to enable fast recovery for our physical and virtual SQL databases. Even if we rename a database, Rubrik ensures that we keep the same backup chain, so I never lose my old one."
"Time series data is very common in sensors and industrial manufacturing. However, it doesn’t fit well into traditional databases, which is why we keep this data on NoSQL. Protecting our NoSQL data is absolutely imperative. Our customers’ sensor data is the most critical piece of our business; it literally is our product. Just a short period of downtime could result in tens of thousands of dollars worth of losses."
"We were taking a point-in-time copy of the disk, regardless of whether the file was in a consistent state. When backing up our NoSQL data on Cassandra, we need to ensure all files are consistent; otherwise, it just ends up being a dumb disk copy. Moreover, storing these useless snapshots was very costly."
"Rubrik provides us with a single, holistic platform to manage and protect our data. After performing the initial full backups to Rubrik, we can easily attain SLA compliance by protecting all of our data on a daily basis. By eliminating tape, we were able to reduce our manpower requirements by around 25%, allowing the team to focus on more critical aspects of our IT environment. Backup reports are sent to the team via email, simplifying the monitoring process, and Rubrik enables auto-backup in the event of failures."
"As an IT team, we want to leverage cutting-edge technology that can help optimize our processes, allowing us to focus on enabling our users and thereby benefiting our customers. Rubrik is a key piece of our digital transformation journey."
