Rackspace Technology, Rubrik announces strategic partnership

Rubrik and Rackspace Technology (RXT) 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. “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.”
