StarLink, the region’s security-specialized value added distributor announced it has expanded its solutions lifecycle portfolio by signing a distribution agreement with Rubrik, a converged data management company. StarLink will sell, install and support Rubrik’s products and solutions through its extensive network of channel partners to enterprise and government customers in GCC and Egypt.

Rubrik provides the industry’s leading cloud data management platform to accelerate how enterprises protect, manage, and secure data everywhere. Fortune 500 companies trust Rubrik’s single platform to deliver data protection, search and analytics, archiving and compliance, and copy data management to deliver instant data access, cut TCO in half, and slash daily management time down to minutes.

Nidal Othman, Managing Director, StarLink said, “StarLink continues to build a diverse portfolio for our partners, and with focus tremendously shifting to cloud-based solutions, having Rubrik onboard is very timely. Apart from being a world-class cloud data management platform that allows backup, recovery, replication and analytics, I am most excited about how Rubrik can prevent ransomware from being able to access and encrypt backup data and that Rubrik´s approach can provide much of the benefit of Isolated Recovery at a fraction of the cost.”

With our new approach to cloud data management, data protection and archival, we have not only eliminated the complexity of legacy solutions, but also reduced our customer datacenter footprint and capex costs by up to 50%. We see increased demand for our solution in the region and look forward to StarLink’s expertise to help us meet this demand.”
