Case Study: Bane NOR achieves 15x faster backups and ransomware-resilient protection with Rubrik

Rubrik Helps Bane NOR Protect Norway’s Critical Railway Infrastructure

Bane NOR, the state-owned company in Oslo responsible for Norway’s national railway infrastructure and operations, faced a growing backup problem: a complex, labor‑intensive legacy solution that consumed heavy processing power and bandwidth, required daily manual fixes from a ten‑person data center team, took about 30 hours for a full backup, and left the organization exposed to ransomware with little automation or self‑service.

By implementing Rubrik’s policy‑driven platform with immutable backups and built‑in ransomware protection, Bane NOR reduced full backup time from 30 hours to 2 hours, automatically protects more than 1,000 VMs in its 90% virtualized environment, and eliminated constant manual management. The change freed staff for strategic projects, cut network and operational overhead, delivered reliable, rapid recovery, and provided stronger data immutability and vendor support.
