Cloud Automation Engine for Global Data Protection at Speed and Scale Across Regions

Background

Assured Data Protection (Assured) is a global managed service provider (MSP) specializing in data backup, business continuity, disaster recovery, and threat detection. As Rubrik’s exclusive global MSP, Assured delivers enterprise-grade protection to customers, MSPs, and resellers in more than 70 countries.

Clients achieve up to 50% faster backups, reduce data center footprints by 80%, and cut internal data management time by 95%.

With cyber threats rising 94% year over year (Rubrik Security Report), Assured recognized the need to modernize its platform—moving beyond manual deployment toward a fully automated, cloud-native model that could scale globally while meeting stringent performance and data sovereignty requirements.

Challenge

As workloads shifted rapidly to the cloud, Assured’s traditional deployment model couldn’t keep pace. Each customer required unique configurations, security policies, and region-specific compliance settings.

Manual provisioning slowed delivery and limited scalability. Sales outpaced operations, and new customer environments could take days—or even weeks—to deploy.

To maintain its leadership position and continue growing globally, Assured needed a cloud automation engine that could provision new Rubrik environments instantly—without compromising reliability or compliance.

Solution

Uptic embedded a Product & Platform Team to design and build a global deployment automation engine—delivering speed, security, and scalability through Azure, Terraform, and Rubrik integration.

Uptic’s modular delivery model meant specialist roles—UI/UX, front-end, back-end, DevOps, and QA—rolled on and off as needed, keeping delivery lean and accelerating progress. Engineering and design ran in parallel, allowing Assured to prototype, test, and deploy new capabilities continuously.

• Cloud Automation Engine: Azure-native provisioning built with Functions, Policy, and Firewall for automated compliance and security.
• Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform templates deliver consistent, repeatable deployments worldwide.
• Multi- and Single-Tenant Flexibility: Supports regional data sovereignty and enterprise-grade isolation.
• Monitoring & Governance: Integrated auditing and policy enforcement across all customer environments.

The result: a globally deployable platform that brings data protection services online in minutes, not days—without compromising compliance or performance.

Outcomes

The new automation engine fundamentally changed how Assured delivers its services—turning deployment into a competitive advantage. What once took days of manual setup now happens in minutes, unlocking global scalability, stronger security, and faster revenue realization.

• Faster delivery: Deployment time reduced from days to minutes.
• Global scalability: Expanded addressable market with instant multi-region rollout.
