Rubrik and Rackspace Technology have deepened their partnership to launch a managed cloud ransomware recovery service designed to restore public cloud workloads in hours rather than weeks.
The new Rackspace Cyber Recovery Service, announced May 21, builds on the previously launched Rackspace Cyber Recovery Cloud and provides a DevOps-first, infrastructure-as-code (IaC)-based model for cyber resilience in multi-cloud environments.
Key features
- Infrastructure as Code with DevOps automation
Rackspace’s professional services team deploys codified recovery workflows, transitions enterprises to a managed Day 2 operations model, and continuously validates and optimizes the setup. - Immutable, air-gapped recovery powered by Rubrik
Data is protected using zero-trust architecture and Rubrik’s immutable file system, ensuring that infected or encrypted backups are not used during restoration. - Fast, orchestrated recovery
The combined stack offers guided recovery with policy-based restoration workflows aimed at bringing mission-critical applications back online within hours.
Executive quotes
DK Sinha, President of Public Cloud at Rackspace, said:
“Enterprises can no longer rely on traditional recovery methods in a cloud-first, threat-intensified world. Through our partnership with Rubrik, Rackspace Cyber Recovery Service sets a new standard for cyber resilience of public cloud workloads.”
Ghazal Asif, VP of Global Channels & Alliances at Rubrik, commented:
“Amidst the evolving complexities of multiple cloud environments, proactive cyber resilience is not a luxury but a necessity. This partnership ensures that customers can recover quickly and cleanly from ransomware in the cloud.”
Why it matters
Rubrik’s 2023 Zero Labs report showed 90% of IT and security leaders faced cyberattacks last year. Many cloud-native organizations lack centralized backup management and face prolonged downtimes due to fragmented recovery tools and processes. This new service aims to drastically compress those timelines, offering a production-ready recovery landing zone with compliance-focused reporting.
What’s included
- Immutable backups with threat detection and ransomware recovery workflows
- Automated deployment of secure backup configurations and IaC templates
- Regulatory-compliant data retention and operational controls
- Advisory services for setting RPO/RTO benchmarks and deploying secure cloud landing zones
Market outlook
With ransomware attacks growing more complex and frequent, Rackspace and Rubrik are positioning this offering as a foundational layer for cyber resilience in multi-cloud operations. The solution is particularly relevant for highly regulated industries and enterprise environments with mission-critical SLAs.
