Case Study: Stendahls achieves 280 MB/s VM backups and 99% faster file recovery with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Allows an Advertising Agency To Back up VMs at 280 MB/s and Recover Files 99% Faster

Stendahls, a 150‑person Swedish advertising agency supporting clients like Volvo and Husqvarna, needed a reliable, easy-to-manage VM backup solution for roughly 130 VMware VMs hosted in a single datacenter. Their previous tools were unreliable, time-consuming to supervise, produced corrupted backups, and lacked clear status/alerts, putting critical project data and deadlines at risk.

Stendahls deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a Synology NAS, a quick 10‑minute install that delivered much faster backups (up to ~280 MB/s), global deduplication to save storage, a clearer UI with alarms, and instant file recovery that lets them restore files in minutes. The result: backups no longer require constant supervision, file restores are about 99% faster, and they’re preparing to add offsite VM replication and disaster recovery for extra protection.
