Challenge

Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is the world’s first business school that stays on the top of all rankings, with one of the largest alumni networks in the United States. The numbers speak for themselves, with the network of more than 100K alumni and 77 clubs spread across 153 countries.

In recent years, its IT department, Wharton Computing, has been migrating and launching IT services to the cloud. As the best practice for cloud services, it has adopted the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) strategy for deploying these services and Bitbucket for managing source code. For companies embracing IaC, protecting the repositories becomes a priority, and relying on local copies is not a comprehensive backup plan.

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.

I like very much the possibility to back up from one environment [Bitbucket] and restore the repo to another environment [Bitbucket, GitHub, GitLab].

Why GitProtect?

This is the story of how the first business school encountered the first Bitbucket backup software worldwide. At this time, it is still the only tool in the market that protects Bitbucket repositories. After a few demonstrations and meetings with the GitProtect team, the Wharton Computing team evaluating backup tools found GitProtect’s features met and exceeded the requirements. Consequently, there was no need to wait for other similar backup tools to catch up.

As confirmed by Wharton Computing evaluating team members, GitProtect was straightforward to use from the beginning. The GUI is intuitive to navigate, and its different sections are logically organized. In addition, the time it took to learn many of its features was brief. The tool was configured quickly to match the requirements and started backing up repositories and their metadata immediately.

The operation team in Wharton Computing, which now manages GitProtect, affirms that onboarding a new repository is reasonably easy, and the procedure can be documented in very few steps. This easiness enables anyone in the operations team to do this task.
