HubStor Selected by Virgin Hyperloop One

HubStor, Inc. has been selected by Virgin Hyperloop One to protect and manage its mission-critical data.

Facing data growth in cloud-based applications and on-premises storage, Virgin Hyperloop One deployed HubStor’s scalable and centralized data management solution to simplify backup, DR and archives.

Virgin Hyperloop One is the only company that has tested its Hyperloop technology at scale. The company operated a full-scale Hyperloop vehicle using electric propulsion and electromagnetic levitation under near-vacuum conditions, launching the first new mode of mass transportation in over 100 years. The company is working with governments, partners and investors around the world to make Hyperloop a reality in years – not decades.

Realizing a new form of transportation that is faster, safer, cheaper and more sustainable than existing modes on a global scale requires Virgin Hyperloop One to safeguard its mission-critical information in a secure, agile and scalable solution.

With HubStor’s cloud data management platform, Virgin Hyperloop One can: 

• Automate data management, including optimization of its on-premises storage footprint with encryption, tiering, deduplication, and compression,
• Protect and recover SaaS-based data, including Microsoft Office 365,
• Search multiple data types across various applications and storage arrays,
• Journal electronic messages,
• Provide long-term retention at a lower cost than primary storage,
• Improve security, auditing, and discovery.

“We’re excited to support Virgin Hyperloop One on its mission to realize an important new form of transportation,” said Geoff Bourgeois, CEO, HubStor. “With HubStor, Virgin Hyperloop One has peace of mind that it has best-in-class data management, giving them vital agility and flexibility with information they’ll need to enter and evolve in an industry that is highly regulated.“

“After, exhaustive review of the market, we found HubStor to be the cloud data management platform that best aligned with our requirements,” said Dawn Armstrong, director of IT, Virgin Hyperloop One. “HubStor’s robust data management gives us confidence that our data is protected and easy to manage.“
