Case Study: Petit Forestier achieves 5x faster backups and 80% management time savings with Rubrik

Petit Forestier Deploys Rubrik for Cost Efficiencies and Easy Google Cloud Platform Integration

Petit Forestier, the European leader in refrigerated vehicle and container rental, operates 237 sites and a fleet of over 49,000 vehicles to serve 15,000+ customers. As part of a digital transformation led by the CIO, the company faced major data-protection challenges: a legacy backup and tape-based system that took 8+ hours to complete and more than an hour to recover, and an inability to fully protect their new Nutanix virtual environment or move workloads to public cloud.

Petit Forestier deployed Rubrik for its native Nutanix AHV integration and simple, plug-and-play operation after a two-week proof of concept. Rubrik provided a single pane of glass, global predictive search, and easy archival to Google Cloud, eliminating tape. Outcomes included 5x faster backups, recovery times reduced from hours to minutes, an 80% reduction in backup management time (from ~8 to 1.5 hours/month), and lower long-term costs.
