I can set up a backup plan and have a high level of confidence that it is going to work. I worked with other backup products for different IT services and never felt [until now] comfortable that the backup plan was going to work as expected.

Turntide is a US-based company that helps decarbonize energy-intensive industries, including commercial and industrial electric vehicles, building operations, and agriculture. With Amazon, Global Optimism, and others, Turntide was proud to sign The Climate Pledge - a commitment to achieve net-zero annual carbon emissions by 2040.
And they go for it! Turntide Technologies are already in more than 300K electric vehicles, 5K buildings, and over 1K dairy farms worldwide.
The company has been recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies, a World Changing Idea, and the Next Big Thing In Tech. Its Smart Motor System was named a Top Product of 2022 by the elite Environment + Energy Leader Awards program three years in a row, and its electric battery system was shouted the Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
Having offices distributed worldwide creates a complex engineering team spanning multiple geographies and time zones, and engineers need to be able to work on numerous product streams simultaneously.
To effectively manage the development process, the company has hundreds of GitLab repositories and most of the company access Jira.
Data integrity is vital in any modern business. With a clear understanding of the importance of its mission and the benefits the company’s technologies bring to humanity, Turntide Technologies chose to ensure the integrity and availability of its mission-critical data and to be able to recover the company’s data should the need arise.
Service outages and cyberattacks have significantly increased in recent years, with industrials still being the most significant sector to be targeted. Any threat can put GitLab and Jira data at risk. So, providing a robust off-platform backup solution is vital for risk mitigation.
Finding a single backup solution that was easy to use was challenging. Turntide engineers tried and compared several platforms, but after PoC and an extended trial period, they ultimately decided to go with GitProtect.io backup for their critical GitLab, Confluence, and Jira data.
As the company admits, GitProtect.io was selected due to the platform’s simplicity, optimization for big enterprises and IT teams, navigation, and easy setup - all in one single console, the only one on the DevOps backup market.
One of the factors in the decision to go with GitProtect.io was its ability to offer a multi-storage system compatible with any cloud or on-premise storage to meet the company’s legal, security, and internal demands.
Although keeping its data in the cloud, Turntide Technologies understands that it’s crucial to take security measures to protect its critical data. One of the standards that contribute to improving the security of essential data is AES 256 encryption. Implementing GitProtect.io into its development process, Turntide Technologies got encryption in-flight while retaining its encryption key. “Now we have an off-platform-encrypted copy of our development data,” says Paul Knight.
Working in a cutting-edge technology industry isn’t an easy task. Turntide has to follow strict regulations and adapt its internal company’s rules to legal requirements. Thus, it was vital for them to find a backup solution that could adjust, meet and implement some of their legal team regulations. So, during the PoC, Turntide ensured that GitProtect.io was always open for discussion and ready to support during the backup software integration and post- integration periods.
Adopting GitProtect.io as a backup and recovery tool for Jira and GitLab met all of Turntide Technologies’ requirements and needs. It enabled the company to leverage its data protection, security, and Jira and GitLab recovery if needed.
As a result, Turntide Technologies got a single platform to set up and manage backups with all the data encrypted in flight and at rest to the storage of the company’s choice.
Repositories with metadata, including issues, merge requests, hooks, keys, wiki and more.
