Transform Your Business with Rubrik & Assured Data Protection

Why Assured Data Protection (Assured) chose to partner with Rubrik 

Rubrik, the Zero Trust Data Security Company, is at the top of its game when it comes to data security and operational resilience for enterprises, offering backup, instant recovery, replication, search, analytics, archival, compliance, and copy data management securely in the data centre and cloud. 

We are Rubrik’s largest managed services provider for cloud data protection services. In June, we were named the winner of Rubrik’s 2023 Global Partner Award for MSP Partner of the Year. These awards highlight partners that have demonstrated excellence in delivering Rubrik-led data security solutions and innovation to their customers. 

At Assured, we provide the highest levels of backup, disaster recovery assurance and cyber resiliency for large and mid-market organisations such as the Richmond Housing Partnership, Sunrise Express and MVBA Law. Our partnership continues to flourish and we’re always looking to extend our managed service offering to build on Rubrik’s market-leading backup and disaster recovery platform. We strive to be an extension of our customer’s IT teams. 

Rubrik and Assured – data security and backup with added assurances 

You may wonder, what’s the role of an MSP in the provision of backup and disaster recovery services and what value-add do they offer to an already highly robust Rubrik offer? Well, put simply, the combination of Rubrik’s built from the ground-up immutable backup platform and our ability to add a second, vital layer of resilience and rapid disaster recovery capability by storing a fully immutable copy of your data in their own offsite, secure data centre, provides an extra dimension to Rubrik’s immutable backups. 

Having this capability circumvents a situation where on premises data recovery may be impacted through infrastructure having become infected with ransomware or malware. This is in fact a very significant capability in disaster recovery and one that anticipates the needs of the market by providing what can be termed clean room as-a-service, the highest level of data security.  

Another value-add that we offer customers, further extending the strength of the Rubrik platform, is through utilising our own suite of proprietary technology called AssuredView. The main element of this suite is ProtectView, a software which enables us and our partners to proactively manage a customer’s entire Rubrik estate to support real-time data protection, data backup and disaster recovery.  RecoverView, another component of the AssuredView service, ensures that we can scale and maintain exceptional levels of service for our clients with Disaster Recovery as a Service. 

Managed services – delivering new benefits to Rubrik customers 

Channel partners taking advantage of managed services with Rubrik opens-up a range of new opportunities. Offering a very simple and effective way to extend Rubrik’s footprint can see partners gain additional routes to market and grow their business. Our managed service solution is more compelling than our competitors offer, due to competitive pricing and bespoke services with greater flexibility and faster recovery times. 

As a case in point, Optec, a provider of cyber security and networking solutions, found that by partnering with Assured to offer Rubrik services, it was able to generate recurring revenues using a managed service model that offers minimal risk and maximum gain. The MSP partnership has allowed Optec to expand its remit, offer complementary services, win and maintain new business, without any CAPEX. The cash flow – and stability it provides – has enabled them to add more value to the core business.  

It’s this combination of Rubrik’s best in class technology and the likes of our 24/7/365 services that creates such a compelling proposition. These partnerships set us apart in the market providing backup, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions to enterprises of all sizes in a way that’s fast, simple, and easy to use.
