Case Study: TTX Company achieves optimized railcar pooling operations and real-time tracking with Rubrik

Pure Storage and Rubrik Keep TTX on Track to Optimize Railcar Pooling Operations

TTX Company, which manages a fleet of more than 230,000 railcars for North American railroads, depended on a high‑volume, SQL Server–based railcar‑tracking application that suffered from storage bottlenecks. Initial attempts to patch the problem with SSD shelves and an early flash array still left the system unreliable and backups slow, causing unacceptable delays in near‑real‑time tracking and creating operational complexity for a lean IT staff.

TTX deployed Pure Storage FlashArray for primary storage and Rubrik for unified backup, recovery and cloud archiving. The combined solution eliminated performance bottlenecks, delivered instant recoveries, simplified management for the five‑person IT team, enabled resource‑intensive BI workloads without impacting production, and supported an active/active data‑center strategy.
