Case Study: Doosan Škoda Power achieves 11x faster VM backups and 52% cost savings with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Accelerates VM Backup 11X while Reducing Costs 52% for a Leading Czech Republic Manufacturer

Doosan Škoda Power, a leading Czech manufacturer of high-performance steam turbines, relied on VMware to run business-critical servers (ERP, PLM, print services, and user data). Their previous backup process—manual copies of powered-off VM files—was slow, could only run when VMs were offline, was prone to missed backups, and risked hours or days of recovery work, so the IT team sought an automated, reliable VMware data protection solution.

They deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication, which installed quickly, offered automated scheduled jobs and email reporting, and used block-level deduplication and compression to shrink storage needs. As a result Doosan Škoda Power reduced VM backup maintenance time by 11x, cut licensing and maintenance costs by 52%, and now maintains reliable, fast backups with minimal operational impact.
