Case Study: Redland City Council achieves automated backups and ransomware resilience with Rubrik

Redland City Council Democratizes Data with Rubrik

Redland City Council, which serves more than 150,000 residents across six islands in South‑East Queensland, faced an ageing, out‑of‑support backup system that required manual processes, strained its small IT team, and left the organisation exposed to rising ransomware attacks and sudden demands such as COVID‑driven remote work expansion.

By deploying Rubrik, the council automated backups with a plug‑and‑play deployment in about two weeks, gaining immutable backups and rapid recovery capability. The change freed IT to focus on strategic projects, enabled quick VDI scaling, faster test/dev provisioning, proactive open data publishing, and delivered improved operational efficiency and ransomware resilience.
