The new Rackspace Cyber Recovery Cloud platform, powered by Rubrik, enables businesses to regain their operational continuity in isolated and secure environments, redefining the concept of cyber resilience.
From the stage of the RSA Conference 2025, Rackspace Technology and Rubrik have announced a strategic alliance to launch a joint solution aimed at redefining cyber recovery. The platform, named Rackspace Cyber Recovery Cloud powered by Rubrik, offers businesses a managed, isolated, and highly efficient option to quickly restore their critical workloads after a ransomware attack or other serious threat.
A Response to a New Cyber Threat Landscape
Cyber resilience has become a priority. With 92% of ransomware victims experiencing data encryption and 60% suffering information theft, traditional backup and recovery solutions are falling short. Restoring operations can take weeks, posing a direct threat to business survival.
In light of this scenario, the new solution from Rackspace and Rubrik promises to restore operations in hours, not days or weeks. How? By utilizing an air-gapped platform, which acts as a secure, clean environment for restorations without contaminating production systems or traditional disaster recovery plans.
Key Features of the Solution
- Isolated and Orchestrated Recovery: allows for the restoration of essential data and workloads in a completely separate environment managed by Rackspace, after identifying clean backups using Rubrik technology.
- Ransomware Protection: blocks malware reintroduction vectors and ensures restoration only from verified data.
- On-Demand or Dedicated Availability: adaptable to both temporary deployments and permanent integrations.
- Compliance and Operational Continuity: ideal for regulated sectors such as banking, insurance, healthcare, and financial services, where data integrity and continuous operation are essential.
“This launch comes at a critical moment. Traditional backup solutions are no longer sufficient, and businesses need to recover not only data but also operations, safely and quickly,” explained Amar Maletira, CEO of Rackspace Technology.
“This alliance with Rubrik fills a clear gap in the market and provides a unique offering in its class: rapid, secure, and fully managed recovery in isolated environments.”
From Preparation to Deployment: Focus on Planning and Execution
The service includes two key phases:
- Cyber Recovery Readiness Assessment: analysis of critical applications, dependencies, and workload prioritization. The aim is to define a custom action plan aligned with business objectives.
- Setting Up the Isolated Environment: technical configuration, incident recovery testing, template building, and delivery of a comprehensive continuity plan tailored to the client.
“Our collaboration with Rackspace enables us to provide a clear path to real operational resilience. Together, we want to ensure that essential data is protected and that organizations can resume activities without critical losses or extended delays,” noted Bipul Sinha, CEO and co-founder of Rubrik.
Expert Industry Opinions
Steven Dickens, CEO of HyperFRAME Research, described the solution as “a robust platform that enables rapid and secure restorations, adapting to the growing regulatory pressure and the rise of ransomware.”
According to Dickens, the flexibility to choose between on-demand or dedicated deployments and comprehensive management are significant advantages over complex and costly market alternatives.
