Case Study: ExponentHR achieves near-zero RTO and minute-level replication with Rubrik

ExponentHR Brings Backup and Replication Times Closer to Reality

ExponentHR, a Dallas-based SaaS HRIS provider, struggled with a virtualization‑centric legacy backup system that produced lengthy RPOs and RTOs, click‑intensive restores, and frequent, time-consuming troubleshooting that constrained its four‑person IT team and required bulky forklift upgrades.

In April ExponentHR deployed Rubrik appliances for Brik‑to‑Brik bi‑directional replication and VM- and file‑level recovery. The rollout cut replication windows from hours/days to minutes, reduced RTOs from 6–12 hours to minutes with granular restores, introduced policy automation, shrank the datacenter footprint from 14U to 4U, and allowed the company to scale with the same staff.
