Case Study: Kaltura achieves 12X faster VM backups and 50% less network traffic with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

Kaltura Achieves 12X Faster VM Backup with NAKIVO's VMware Backup Solution

Kaltura, a global provider of an open‑source video platform, was managing a complex environment across multiple offices and data centers with hundreds of servers and thousands of VMs. The company needed fast, reliable VM backups and recovery for customer and historical data, but its previous backup solution was unstable—failing jobs were common, upgrades were difficult, and full backups could take up to two days, requiring constant monitoring.

Kaltura deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication (pre‑configured Virtual Appliance), which installed quickly, required no agents, and offered network acceleration and compression. The change cut network traffic by about 50% and reduced full VM backup times from days to roughly 3–4 hours (a 12x improvement), eliminated stability issues, lowered costs with per‑CPU licensing, improved team productivity, and enabled features like Instant Object Recovery and job chaining as the company expands use.
