Case Study: Sanitarium Health & Wellbeing achieves management simplicity and scale-out capacity savings with Rubrik

Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing Uses Rubrik to Deliver Scale-out Savings

Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing, a Sydney‑headquartered maker of plant‑based foods best known for Weet‑Bix and serving 1,200+ employees, faced growing IT strain from an aging backup environment. Its 30‑person IT team ran two large virtualized data centers but struggled with complex management, tape handling, multiple repositories that caused capacity inefficiencies, and slow, manual searches to locate data.

Deploying Rubrik’s turnkey Cloud Data Management appliance consolidated backup, replication and cloud archival, and enabled instant live mounts for test/dev. The result: backup administration time dropped dramatically (from ~20% to 1% of a sysadmin’s time), a single scale‑out repository reduced storage inefficiencies, data became instantly searchable, and test/dev cycles that once took hours can now be stood up and torn down in minutes — with plans to expand Rubrik across remote sites and physical systems.
