Case Study: Large Networking Company achieves 24/7 VM availability and 85% storage savings with NAKIVO

NAKIVO and TrueNAS Provide a Multi-Tiered Storage Solution for a Large Networking Company

The Large Networking Company, a U.S.-based networking provider with multiple data centers and remote offices, needed 24/7 availability for critical systems while reducing VM backup storage usage. Its existing homegrown replication and snapshot setup couldn’t provide full and incremental VM backups, so it turned to NAKIVO Backup & Replication and TrueNAS/FreeNAS-based storage to meet its cost, performance, and simplicity requirements.

NAKIVO implemented a multi-tier data protection setup with VM backups, VM replication, and offsite backup copy jobs running across TrueNAS appliances and FreeNAS servers. The result was stronger disaster recovery and easier management across datacenters, plus an average 85% reduction in VM backup storage space. NAKIVO helped the company maintain onsite backups, offsite backups, and replica VMs while supporting 24/7 availability.
