Case Study: Seijo University achieves modern data management and significant time savings with Rubrik

Seijo University Achieves Modern Data Management with Rubrik

Seijo University, a private university in Seijo, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo serving about 6,800 students and staff, faced persistent backup and recovery problems that strained its 10-person IT team. Their legacy solution relied on fragile image proxies that consumed CPU/memory, required frequent scaling, and could take up to a week to restore a broken VM—making data management time-consuming and error-prone.

After adopting Rubrik, the university automated backups with SLA-driven policies, gained fast, granular restores via real-time search, and benefited from easy, out-of-the-box management and responsive remote support. The IT team’s management workload is now near-zero, freeing staff for strategic projects, while the university enjoys reliable protection, significant time savings, and improved operational confidence.
