Rubrik, a cybersecurity company, and Rackspace Technology, an end-to-end hybrid cloud and AI solutions company, have announced a strategic partnership. The two companies will collaborate to deliver a fully managed isolated recovery service, Rackspace Cyber Recovery Cloud powered by Rubrik, to help enterprises achieve true cyber resilience and ensure business continuity in the event of a cyber attack.
By combining Rubrik’s data protection and cyber recovery software with Rackspace’s hybrid cloud expertise and global data center footprint, this partnership addresses immediate cyber recovery needs and empowers businesses to reduce their operational risk as a competitive advantage.
Why does this matter?
Organizations today face increasing ransomware threats, with attacks becoming more sophisticated, frequent, and devastating as 92% of victims experience data encryption and 60% suffer data theft. Traditional backup and recovery solutions can take weeks or months to restore business operations.
Designed as an isolated on-demand or dedicated managed solution, the Rackspace Cyber Recovery Cloud powered by Rubrik gives enterprises access to an air-gapped platform to recover mission-critical workloads following a cyber attack. The solution aims to provide enterprises with an orchestrated recovery approach designed to enable restoration in hours instead of days, weeks or months, thereby providing business continuity in a clean, isolated environment.
The launch of Rackspace Cyber Recovery Cloud powered by Rubrik comes at a critical time as ransomware incidents and compliance risks continue to escalate, while traditional backup and disaster recovery solutions have become insufficient, cost-prohibitive, and technically challenging,” said Amar Maletira, CEO of Rackspace Technology.
This strategic partnership with Rubrik fills a recognized gap in the market and delivers something truly unique – the ability to recover data as well as rapidly restore operational capability in a clean, isolated environment in hours rather than days or weeks.”
The new offering is designed to meet the operational continuity needs of organizations across non-regulated and highly regulated industries such as banking, financial services, insurance, and healthcare, where seamless operations and data integrity are vital.
As we chart the course for a more secure digital future, our collaboration with Rackspace Technology represents the paramount next step in our journey,” said Bipul Sinha, CEO, Chairman, and Co-founder of Rubrik. “Unified as a cohesive force, we aim to provide customers with a robust and streamlined approach to cyber recovery, ensuring the safeguarding of vital data and uninterrupted business continuity.”
