Assured Data Protection & KHIPU Networks team to deliver enterprise-grade disaster recovery and data protection

The partnership offers edge cyber resilience managed services across the UK and South Africa

Rubrik MSP Assured Data Protection (ADP) has teamed up with KHIPU Networks to provide enterprise grade backup and disaster recovery solutions to SME customers.

Through the partnership, KHIPU Networks is now able to offer Rubrik's edge data protection platform as a managed service through ADP's second site data replication infrastructure.

The collaboration will bolster KHIPU Networks' existing offer to medium sized enterprises and public sector organisations across the UK and South Africa in sectors including education, retail, warehousing, transport, logistics, sports & entertainment venues, and others.

The duo claim that, until now, "true" immutable backup and disaster recovery solutions, which can only be guaranteed through data replication at a second site, have been prohibitively expensive for many organisations.

The managed services partnership with ADP hopes to change that, helping to protect customers' business networks whilst reducing their cyber risk.

"Our customers were asking for robust immutable backup and recovery capabilities, but many solutions were out of reach due to cost and complexity," said Jade Smith, director of sales and marketing at KHIPU Networks.

"Partnering with Assured allows us to deliver the gold standard in data protection through Rubrik but delivered as an affordable managed service tailored to the needs of SMEs and public sector organisations."

Among the numerous benefits of the partnership for customers is that Rubrik's security cloud offering seamlessly integrates with Palo Alto Networks' XR platform - a key solution in KHIPU 's portfolio. This provides customers with an end-to-end security architecture that gives the highest levels of confidence in disaster recovery and data protection.

"We are delighted to partner with KHIPU Networks to deliver the best of breed backup, disaster recovery and business continuity solutions as a service to its portfolio of solutions," said Sam Blackburn, UK channel director at ADP.

"The partnership presents a win-win, creating new opportunities for KHIPU amongst its existing customers by complementing its existing security stack with backup and disaster recovery services and Assured gaining access to KHIPU Networks strong market presence in the public sector."
