EngagementThe Problem
The challenge
What had to change
The Problem
The chemical manufacturer struggled with performance and security limitations in its previous data protection infrastructure, which left it vulnerable to exploitation and costly operational downtime. Global scalability was also a significant challenge due to integration difficulties in certain regions across the company’s manufacturing footprint. To overcome these obstacles, the chemical manufacturer needed a specialized cloud data management solution purpose-built to enhance security, performance, and resiliency within dozens of edge locations.
The BlueAlly solution
How the work came together
BlueAlly met with our client’s IT Director and related stakeholders to understand its data security and backup requirements. After extensive research and collaboration, BlueAlly chose Rubrik, a leading cloud data management solution, to enhance the company’s data protection infrastructure. Rubrik empowered the chemical manufacturer with intelligent data locking capabilities, end-to-end encryption, two-person rules, and network security measures, including air-gapping immutable file systems. Due to its ease of use, Rubrik integrated with our client’s existing hybrid cloud infrastructure management platform while providing additional security for SaaS components, allowing BlueAlly to leverage its expertise as a Microsoft Solutions Partner.
The results
What changed
We completed this immense project by collaborating closely with the chemical manufacturer’s engineers to facilitate seamless integration across its global infrastructure. Rubrik enables the company to store data in local edge environments while replicating that data into regional clouds to meet its resiliency requirements. Through our solution’s air-gapping capabilities, our client can isolate critical systems from unsecured networks, preventing operational disruption or the theft of proprietary chemical formulation data. BlueAlly’s customized solution also provides end-to-end encryption, ensuring secure data transfer to safeguard company information from data breaches.
With our assistance, the chemical manufacturer maximized its operational flexibility upon integrating Rubrik, enabling it to utilize the same granular policy-driven solution architecture to protect critical workloads on-premises or during future data center migrations to the public cloud. This flexibility positions the company for continued innovation that serves its business needs. Through this partnership, BlueAlly modernized our client’s data security and backup capabilities across its vast infrastructure, enabling digital transformation that streamlines the chemical manufacturer’s global operations.
