Case Study: Oregon Aero achieves 4X faster VM backups and near-instant object recovery with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Cuts Down VM Backup Time 4X while Enabling Instant Object Recovery for a US Manufacturer

Oregon Aero, a manufacturer of aviation and safety products, runs mission‑critical VMware vSphere infrastructure hosting Windows and Linux VMs that support Active Directory, Exchange, SQL Server and web services. Their first‑generation VM backup product had a cumbersome UI, unreliable snapshots and slow backups and restores, forcing extensive troubleshooting and long backup windows (4–6 hours).

After deploying NAKIVO Backup & Replication, backups were configured quickly and now run up to 4× faster (reduced to 1–2 hours), with fast full and granular restores and near‑instant recovery of AD and Exchange objects from a compressed, deduplicated repository. The team has restored a failed VM within minutes, cut network load, reclaimed time previously spent babysitting backups, and gained the ability to schedule other tasks during shorter backup windows.
