LONDON, UK and PALO ALTO, CA – June 11, 2019 — /BackupReview.info/ — Rubrik, the Cloud Data Management company, today announced it has been selected by the University of Reading to protect more than 90% of its environment, including Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, as well as Nutanix and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines. Rubrik’s solution has already allowed the university to completely migrate off tape, archive to public cloud, and significantly speed up SQL data recovery.
The University of Reading is one of the United Kingdom’s leading research universities and has been in existence for more than 150 years. Its IT team, which supports over 18,000 students and 7,000 faculty members, underpins the entire teaching experience at the university. The department delivers a broad range of services, such as providing email accounts, storing data, and streaming lectures.
Having been restricted by a tape-centric legacy backup and recovery solution that was unable to protect all applications, the university wanted to shift to a different solution for reliable backup and much faster restore times, particularly for its user-critical Microsoft Exchange environment. The team selected Rubrik for its speed, management simplicity, and ability to support its Nutanix and Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure.
With Rubrik’s Data Cloud Management Solution, the university has benefitted from:
Comments on the News
Kevin Mortimer, Infrastructure Services Manager at the University of Reading, said: “Rubrik blew us away; other vendors were far too complicated. Rubrik and Nutanix have proven they can outperform other technologies—I can’t think of a better fit. Our previous solution could only backup around 10% of our environment, but Rubrik now protects 90% of our environment and will eventually capture everything. With its incremental-forever backups, we have considerably reduced our daily backup load, and the integration with cloud couldn’t be easier.”
Martin Brown, Director of Western Europe at Rubrik, said: “As more and more UK organizations squeeze their budgets, IT departments all over the country are having to do more with less. The University of Reading needed a data management solution that could save them time and money, while delivering backups that they could rely on. With our Microsoft Azure and Nutanix integration, the University of Reading is now able to protect more than 90% of its environment.”
Jay Chitnis, Senior Director of Strategic Alliances at Nutanix, said: “We’re proud to have an alliance with Rubrik that is helping our customers increase their freedom of choice for their backup solutions in the data center. The Rubrik solution natively backs up and recovers Nutanix environments so users can securely access data instantly, automate protection policies, and manage their workloads across multiple data centers and between public, private, and edge clouds.”
