Case Study: Zaragoza Logistics Center achieves minutes‑level VMware disaster recovery with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Enables Instant VMware VM Recovery for a Leading Research Institute in Spain

Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC), a research institute partnered with MIT and the University of Zaragoza, runs a fully virtualized VMware environment hosting critical services like Exchange, data and printing servers, and simulation software. Lacking image-based VM backups or disaster recovery for VMware, the IT team faced the risk of lengthy rebuilds if primary storage failed and therefore evaluated virtualization-specific solutions prioritized on usability, performance, reliability, support, and recovery speed.

ZLC selected NAKIVO Backup & Replication for its agentless, VMware-focused design and strong price‑performance ratio. NAKIVO’s Flash VM Boot lets the team run VMs directly from compressed, deduplicated backups, enabling near-instant recovery; as a result, DR downtime was cut from hours to minutes and all VMware VMs are now protected with fast, reliable support.
