For unknown classified agency within US Government
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on December 7, 2020 at 2:24 pmRubrik, Inc. closed a major deal in the public sector.
The award, worth more than $10 million, will enable a classified agency within the US Government to modernize its enterprise backup and provide assurance for mission critical data. The vendor will orchestrate the movement of data between on premises locations and cloud environments across multiple regions.
The customer selected the Rubrik cloud data management platform due to its integration with VMware; key platform capabilities such as LiveMount, instant recovery, and search functionality. Furthermore, the vendor delivered on the requirements and security standards for AWS Commercial Cloud Services (C2S).
“This contract is an integral part of a major infrastructure modernization initiative,” said Tom Kennedy, VP, US public sector. “Rubrik is addressing the need for the customer agency to modernize its enterprise backup, bolster critical mission assurance and complete a top-down overhaul of the legacy option it had in place, which was failing to keep pace with its enterprise’s adoption of virtualization and classified cloud. The simplicity and security of Rubrik’s platform offers the greatest value to manage and protect sensitive and critical mission data.“
This most recent award builds on the momentum Rubrik has experienced in the highly classified segment of the US Government over the last three years. The laser focus of Rubrik’s special access programs region, led by Breal Madison, on the mission critical requirements and security mandates specific to classified customers has expanded the company’s involvement with enterprise modernization efforts across multiple IC member agencies. Since 2018, Rubrik has secured multiple 7-figure, and 8-figure awards driven by the capabilities of its solutions.
It works with VAR partners in the classified segment of the public sector. In this deal, ClearShark, LLC served as the technology accelerator to win this business. This later is an IT solutions provider with an engineering team composed of results-driven, mission-focused subject matter experts from the intelligence community, department of defense, and department of energy.
