Case Study: ERM Power achieves 21 days of added productivity and accelerated time to market with Rubrik

ERM Power Adds 21 Days of Productivity and Accelerates Time to Market with Rubrik

ERM Power, Australia’s second-largest electricity provider for commercial and industrial customers, operates across multiple offices and power stations and relies on a small IT team to keep services online. The company was hampered by a complex, unreliable legacy backup solution (including tape failures) that produced lengthy restores, reduced developer agility, and made cloud transition and cybersecurity goals difficult to achieve.

By deploying Rubrik, ERM streamlined backups, gained Live Mount capability to restore databases in about 5 minutes (vs. 24–30 hours), and cut backup management time by 88%—recovering roughly 21 days of productivity. The change accelerated release cycles (90%+ faster restores), enabled AWS archival and Nutanix integration, improved ransomware resilience with immutable backups, and reduced data center footprint by 84%, allowing the team to focus on faster time to market and higher-value work.
