Case Study: JE Dunn Construction achieves 62% TCO savings and 90% management-time reduction with Rubrik

JE Dunn Embraces Software-Defined Data Center and Automation with Rubrik

JE Dunn Construction, a national commercial contractor with 2,500 employees and 22 offices, relied on a tape-centric, legacy backup environment to protect a 99% virtualized estate. That approach caused lengthy recoveries, limited automation, and no reliable Office 365 protection, creating operational risk and administrative overhead for the IT team.

By adopting Rubrik’s API-first, software-defined approach integrated with VMware vSphere and Polaris for Office 365, JE Dunn automated backups, enabled self-service restores, and accelerated recoveries. The rollout delivered dramatic benefits: recoveries went from hours to minutes, backup admin time fell by 90, TCO dropped 62%, data center footprint shrank 75%, and Office 365 restores became fast and fully controllable.
