Case Study: UDLAP achieves business continuity and cost savings with Rubrik

UDLAP Drives Business Continuity and Cost Savings with Public Cloud and Rubrik

Universidad de las Américas Puebla (UDLAP) is a prestigious private university in Mexico serving nearly 30,000 users, including 9,500 students. The IT team faced legacy backup systems that produced lengthy, unreliable recoveries, prevented a secure hybrid-cloud strategy, and risked downtime during critical periods—threatening both finances and the university’s accreditation reporting.

By deploying Rubrik’s single software platform integrated with AWS and Microsoft Azure, UDLAP achieved a resilient hybrid-cloud architecture, faster file- and VM-level restores, and simplified, policy-based management. Results included a 52% reduction in backup management time, 50% data reduction, lower TCO through deduplicated storage and cloud archiving, easier self-service recovery with Google-like search, and stronger local support to protect dozens of academic applications.
