Case Study: Bartle & Gibson achieves near-instant VM disaster recovery and saves 8+ hours/month with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Enables Near-Instant VM Disaster Recovery While Saving IT 8+ Hours per Month for a Canadian Distributor

Bartle & Gibson, a long-established Canadian plumbing, heating and electrical distributor with 31 branches across Western Canada, runs a fully virtualized IT environment supporting virtual desktops and critical business servers. They needed both fast operational recovery and standby replicas for disaster recovery because their previous VM protection was slow, error-prone and unreliable, causing extended downtime and time-consuming restores.

The company deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication to create compressed, deduplicated VM backups and scheduled or ad hoc VM replicas, with instant VM, object, file and disaster recovery plus screenshot verification. The result was near-instant recovery and reliable backups, allowing the team to reclaim warehouse space through electronic document management, save tens of thousands of dollars in product storage, and reduce IT effort by 8+ hours per month while cutting users’ downtime by many more hours.
