Challenges
Backup & recovery inefficiencies with the legacy approach
Prior to deploying Rubrik, CNIC experienced frustrations with an inefficient backup process, lack of scalability, and long recovery times. RTO was several hours, which negatively impacted installation operations and services. They also found the solution difficult to manage, resulting in significant inefficiencies and overhead.
Furthermore, the legacy solution lacked automation and was better suited for smaller environments. The team had to constantly remember to backup servers throughout the day for 500 locations, a cumbersome process which resulted in substantial daily management time.
Frustrated with lengthy recovery times and overhead, Navy CNIC turned to the market for more efficient backup & recovery solutions and found Rubrik through one of its partners.
Solutions
Rubrik enables Navy CNIC to service sailors and families 24/7 while reducing management time and cost
CNIC has successfully automated and simplified its backup operations for its growing operations with Rubrik. This means that their team is able to provide services to US sailors and their families in 500 locations across the globe 24/7 without interruptions. If a crash were to occur, Rubrik’s capabilities ensure that a new server can become fully functional in 15 seconds.
One of their favorite aspects about Rubrik was the rapid setup time. It only took an hour for CNIC to deploy Rubrik and begin supporting the entire enterprise. Rubrik has enabled CNIC to better achieve their mission of delivering efficiency and dependability from the shore.
