Webinar Description
Key Takeaways
- Case study examining how WHOOP managed backup challenges for a 20PB biometric cloud environment
- Analysis of native AWS backup cost limitations at enterprise scale
- Strategies for achieving immutable backup copies and faster recovery point identification
- Relevant for cloud architects, backup administrators and security teams managing large AWS deployments
About the Webinar
This 45-minute virtual Cloud Lunch & Learn webinar presents a case study on WHOOP, the wearable fitness technology company, and the data protection challenges that emerged as its biometric cloud infrastructure scaled to 20 petabytes.
The WHOOP Data Protection Challenge
As WHOOP’s cloud footprint expanded, native AWS backup costs reached approximately $3.6 million annually. The expense became prohibitive enough that the company discontinued native backup entirely, leaving the 20PB environment without immutable copies for recovery purposes. This created significant security gaps, particularly concerning for an organization handling sensitive biometric data from its wearable devices.
Technical Focus Areas
Cloud specialists will examine how Rubrik’s approach addressed WHOOP’s specific requirements. The session covers methods for identifying clean recovery points quickly, achieving a reported 66% cost reduction compared to native AWS backup, and establishing immutable backup copies to close the security vulnerabilities created by the previous gap in protection.
Who Should Attend
This webinar is suited for cloud infrastructure teams, backup and disaster recovery administrators, and security professionals working with large-scale AWS environments. Organizations experiencing similar cost pressures with native cloud backup tools, or those concerned about maintaining immutable copies of critical data, will find the case study particularly relevant. The session may also interest teams in healthcare, fitness technology or other sectors handling sensitive biometric information at scale.
