Case Study: Simwood achieves 2X more data backed up and 30% less backup administration time with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Enables Wholesale VoIP Provider To Back Up 2X More, Spend 30% Less Time on Backup Administration

Simwood, a leading UK wholesale VoIP provider operating 125 VMs across 11 data centers, was struggling with two previous VM backup solutions that required constant monitoring, had inflexible licensing, lacked VSAN support, produced slow backups and regularly failed on large or high‑IO VMs. Those limitations prevented the company from protecting its busiest and most critical systems and forced a search for a better data protection solution.

Simwood deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication as a virtual appliance with a web GUI; its forever‑incremental backups, support for vCenter‑managed VMs, simultaneous VM processing and faster backup performance eliminated snapshot delays and “nannying.” As a result Simwood now protects its entire VMware estate (including high‑IO and large archive VMs), backs up twice as much data and spends 30% less time on backup administration, with reliable reporting and no appliance reboots.
