Case Study: Richmond Housing Partnership achieves 55% TCO savings and near‑zero RTOs with Rubrik

Richmond Housing Partnership Achieves Cost Savings and Fast Recovery with Rubrik

Richmond Housing Partnership (RHP) is a UK non-profit landlord founded in 2000 that manages about 10,000 properties and requires 24/7 system availability to support high-volume tenant services. RHP struggled with growing management complexity, unreliable backups, long recovery times from virtual tape, and no easy cloud integration, which put business continuity and IT modernization plans at risk.

RHP deployed Rubrik with partner Assured Data Protection to provide a single policy-driven interface for automated backups, fast recoveries, and seamless archival to Cloudian. The solution eliminated tape, cut recovery times from hours to seconds, improved backup performance 5x, delivered 55% TCO savings, reduced management effort by ~90%, shrank data center footprint by ~80%, and enabled a full DR test in two weeks.
