Case Study: Ferentino Municipality achieves 50% maintenance cost savings and instant VM disaster recovery with NAKIVO

Italian Municipality Chooses NAKIVO to Enable VM Disaster Recovery and Cut Maintenance Costs by 50%

Comune di Ferentino, an Italian municipality serving more than 21,000 residents, ran 60 VMware virtual machines that host critical services and sensitive citizen data. Their aging backup software had become unreliable and unaffordable to maintain, leaving the town at risk of service disruptions and out of compliance with national disaster‑recovery reporting requirements. The IT team needed a simple, fast, and cost‑effective VM backup and recovery solution with web‑based management and strong restore capabilities.

On the recommendation of local partner Bagnetti Sistemi, Ferentino deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication as a virtual appliance. The solution delivered easy web‑based backup job setup, deduplication, forever‑incremental backups and Flash VM Boot for instant recovery, enabling automated backups, faster restores, and improved uptime. As a result the municipality cut backup maintenance costs by 50%, regained access to technical support, met regulatory requirements, and dramatically reduced recovery time and risk to citizen services.
