Case Study: Classic Resorts and Hotels achieves 50% VM backup cost savings with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Helps Classic Hotels and Resorts Save 50% on VM Backup Costs

Classic Hotels and Resorts, a six-property hospitality chain in the southwestern U.S. that runs about 85 VMware VMs for property management, POS and HR systems, needed reliable, PCI-compliant backups and faster recoveries. Their previous cloud-based backup was costly and slow due to data rehydration, prompting the IT team to look for a more efficient, affordable VM backup solution.

They deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a QNAP NAS, enabling quick installation and a NAS-based appliance using existing hardware. With CBT-driven forever-incremental backups, global deduplication and email alerts, backups run faster, use less storage, require minimal administration and eliminate dedicated backup servers—resulting in roughly 50% savings on VM backup costs.
