South African IronTree in Partnership With Rubrik

IronTree Internet Services CC announces a partnership with Rubrik, Inc., a cloud data management company.

With this partnership, IronTree will be able to offer near zero RTOs, with the ability to provide full DR server infrastructure to its clients.

From June 2019, IronTree will be adding a new DR service – aimed at medium to large enterprises in South Africa – to its services of data management, cyber security, compliance and continuity.

Joint-CEO Tai Chesselet said: “We have selected Rubrik as our platform for DR and data management as it offers so much, including near zero recovery time, immutability from ransomware, instant search results, massive data centre footprint reduction and immediate hard savings to our clients.“

Rubrik has built a single software-defined platform that manages backups, instant recovery, replication, search and analytics.

Chesselet commented: “We’re extremely excited to be one of the first companies in South Africa to partner with Rubrik, and we see a great future for this partnership, which will enable us to provide enterprise grade data management solutions into the medium and large enterprise market in southern Africa.“

“Customers today are under pressure to innovate faster and provide greater data security,” said Martin Brown, director of Western Europe, Rubrik. “Rubrik Cloud Data Management provides unprecedented value and helps organisations manage and protect their mission-critical and next-gen applications in a simple way. We are thrilled to join forces with IronTree to further support the South African market.“

IronTree provides backup, DR and security services to 17 000 organisations in southern Africa. Offering Rubrik cloud data management positions the company as a provider of enterprise data management solutions.
