Case Study: Kreis Borken achieves 2x faster backups and rapid cloud adoption with Rubrik

Kreis Borken (District of Borken) Realizes High Performance and Cloud Adoption with Rubrik

Kreis Borken is a regional authority in Westmünsterland, Germany, serving 17 municipalities and about 370,000 citizens. Supporting roughly 1,100 district employees and critical services like fire, rescue and schools, the IT team faced a complex, high‑maintenance legacy backup system that couldn’t scale with data growth or provide cloud mobility.

Kreis Borken deployed Rubrik’s simple, vendor‑agnostic data management platform for backup and recovery, which was installed in under an hour. The district achieved 2x faster backups, significant management time savings thanks to an intuitive interface and automated policies, easy point‑in‑time restores with Google‑like search, and a clear path to cloud adoption for long‑term retention.
