University of Reading Strengthens Cyber Resilience, and Gains Control Over Massive Research Data Estate with Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct
The University of Reading needed greater control over massive volumes of unstructured research data spanning millions of files and folders. Its previous NAS archival approach consumed appliance capacity, offered limited visibility, and made ransomware monitoring and file recovery difficult. Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct now sends NAS data directly into Rubrik Cloud Vault through a lightweight virtual appliance, creating an immutable, indexed data lake. Global predictive search enables rapid file discovery and targeted recovery, cutting file recovery time by 50%. Compression and unique-data storage reduced the university’s cloud storage footprint by up to 70%. Anomaly detection also provides near-real-time alerts for suspicious encryption or deletion activity, helping IT proactively protect valua
