Case Study: Waverly-Shell Rock Community School District achieves 2X faster VM backups with NAKIVO

NAKIVO and Synology Increase VM Backup Performance by 2X for an Iowa School District

The Waverly-Shell Rock Community School District in Iowa needed a better way to protect its Hyper-V virtual environment, including critical student and staff data, while reducing the high cost and maintenance burden of its previous backup setup. The district also wanted reliable 24/7 availability and better compatibility with its Synology NAS, so it turned to NAKIVO Backup & Replication.

NAKIVO implemented NAKIVO Backup & Replication on Synology NAS, giving the district easier deployment, simpler management, and automated reporting and email notifications. As a result, VM backup performance improved by at least 2X, with forever-incremental backups completing in under an hour, while backup administration time and licensing costs were also reduced.
