Case Study: One World Direct achieves 12X faster VM recovery and 50% faster Hyper‑V backups with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO and Synology Help Improve VM Recovery Time by 12X for One World Direct

One World Direct, a South Dakota–based order fulfillment and e‑commerce services provider, was struggling with slow, manual Hyper‑V backups that required time‑consuming VM snapshots and spread over multiple nights. With roughly 30 Hyper‑V VMs supporting critical warehouse, financial and order‑processing systems, the company needed a stable, easy‑to‑manage solution with automated jobs and alerts to ensure 24/7 availability and reduce administrative overhead.

They deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a Synology DS1817+ NAS, leveraging native packaging, NAS processing, deduplication and compression. Backups now run about 50% faster (finishing overnight in ~6 hours) and full VM recoveries are 12× faster—often under 5 minutes versus about an hour—resulting in improved system availability, fewer administrator hours spent on backups, and greater confidence in data protection.
