Case Study: Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) achieves near-zero RTOs and 30–50% TCO savings with Rubrik

Commander, Navy Installations Command Simplifies and Automates Data Management with Rubrik

Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) manages 71 naval installations across 11 regions and supports sailors and families at more than 500 locations worldwide with a six-person IT team. CNIC’s legacy backup software was hard to scale, required manual daily backups across hundreds of sites, and produced lengthy recoveries—RTOs measured in hours—creating high operational overhead and risk to mission services.

CNIC adopted Rubrik’s cloud data management platform to automate policy-based, 24/7 backups and enable instant recovery; deployment took about an hour and proved simple to operate. Results included near-zero RTOs (new servers functional in ~15 seconds), RTOs cut from hours to minutes, 30–50% TCO savings from a smaller data center footprint, drastic reductions in daily backup management, and secure FIPS 140-2 Level 2 encryption.
