Case Study: Leeward Business Advisors achieves instant recovery and streamlined operations with Rubrik

Leeward Business Advisors Shifts Up the Growth Curve with Rubrik

Leeward Business Advisors, a Kenosha-based managed service provider that delivers CTO/CIO-level consulting to organizations from small nonprofits to Fortune 100s, faced management complexity and lack of competitive differentiation from legacy backup software. The previous solution caused performance and scalability issues, required 2–3 hours of daily management, and produced long recovery times that didn’t fit Leeward’s business-centric, webscale approach.

Leeward implemented Rubrik’s converged, policy-driven platform for backup, replication, global real-time file search, and archival to object stores, automating protection and simplifying management through a single web portal. The change cut daily management to minutes, reduced RTOs from hours or weeks to minutes, sped snapshot times by about 70%, enabled smarter use of low-cost storage tiers, and improved TCO as the business scaled.
