Case Study: Stora Enso achieves instant recovery and 6x faster backups with Rubrik

Stora Enso Delivers Global Data Management Across Edge Environments for Unlimited Scale with Rubrik

Stora Enso Langerbrugge, a Stora Enso paper mill with three production units and five sales offices across the UK, France and Belgium, needed a global data management solution for on‑premises, edge and cloud environments. The organization suffered poor backup performance and lengthy restores, relied on tape for backups at seven remote sites, and faced complex, unreliable protection for physical SQL servers that required constant monitoring.

By deploying Rubrik (including Rubrik Edge) and policy‑driven management across all locations, Stora Enso eliminated tape, automated SQL protection, and enabled fast, rack‑and‑go setup with global indexed search. Results included instant, file‑level recovery and one‑click restores, RPO improved from 1 week to 1 day (SQL from 1 hour to 5 minutes), a 6× improvement in backup performance with daily VM backups completed in under 8 hours, and significantly reduced operational overhead.
