RBRK’s subscription Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) reached $919 million, marking 40% year-over-year growth in second-quarter fiscal 2025. The upside can be attributed to adding new customers and expanding relationships with existing ones.
Rubrik Gains From Growing Client Base
Rubrik’s expanding clientele, which includes major industry players like Pure Storage PSTG, Alphabet’s GOOGL cloud business, Google Cloud and CrowdStrike, has been a key catalyst.
In September, Rubrik partnered with Pure Storage to enhance Cyber Resilience through a three-layered defense strategy that combines primary storage, data security and long-term retention using Rubrik Security Cloud.
In August, the company announced a partnership with Mandiant, a division of Alphabet’s Google Cloud, aimed at integrating threat intelligence and improving cyber recovery capabilities to bolster organizations’ defenses against data breaches and ransomware attacks.
Rubrik’s expansion in cloud services has been noteworthy. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the company achieved $678 million in cloud ARR, which is an 80% year-over-year increase. RBRK’s ability to deliver cloud-native solutions played a vital role in its overall growth, positioning it as a leader in the data management and security space.
