Case Study: GRW (road tankers manufacturer) achieves 60x faster VM and file recovery with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Enables Road Tankers Manufacturer to Recover Files and VMs 60X Faster

GRW, a road tankers manufacturer serving Southern Africa and the UK, runs a VMware-based infrastructure hosting mission-critical VMs (SQL, Oracle, Active Directory, ERP, CRM and file/email servers). Their legacy backup solution was slow and unreliable and could not recover individual files without rebuilding entire VMs—taking nearly three hours to restore a single file—putting unacceptable downtime risk on daily operations.

GRW replaced the legacy tool with NAKIVO Backup & Replication, a VMware-focused solution offering near-continuous data protection, changed block tracking, compression and multithreaded VM processing, plus unified backup and replication. As a result, VM and file recovery times fell from about 3 hours to nearly 3 minutes (60× faster), increasing overall uptime and enabling more frequent replication to meet tighter recovery objectives.
