We believe that Rubrik has transformed the data protection industry bringing simplicity, speed and ease of use. Our service allows organizations to install and use Rubik’s ground breaking technology through a flexible Capex or Opex model with a fully managed tailored service that offers 24/7 support.

Rubrik’s powerful entrance into the latest Gartner Magic Quadrant only proves what we already know, Rubrik is the future.
