Case Study: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) achieves RTO compliance and rapid disaster recovery with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Helps Academic Association Meet RTO Requirements

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), an international academic society that runs critical web, database and publishing systems from a single site (10 physical servers and 70+ VMs), needed a more reliable, fast-recovery data protection solution to meet strict RTOs. Their previous backup product required a full day just to get the backup environment running before recoveries could begin, so SIAM sought a cost-effective solution with native offsite removable-disk support and near-instant recovery.

SIAM deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication for its fast recovery, flexible deployment and comprehensive feature set (backup, replication, backup-to-tape/USB, deduplication, granular and site recovery). Backups now run daily with weekly portable-drive copies, full restores can be completed in minutes, and SIAM estimates disaster recovery time is 50–75% faster than before—minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity at similar overall cost.
