Case Study: Switch Media achieves 40% backup cost savings and reliable AWS backups with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Helps Information Technology Company Safeguard Data with Backup to AWS

Switch Media, an Australian information technology and video solutions company serving major broadcasters and events, was running large-scale virtualized workloads across two sites (about 600 VMs per site) and needed a reliable, affordable VM backup solution with cloud support. Previous tools produced frequent failed or hung jobs, caused admin overhead, had complex licensing and poor support, and lacked backup-to-cloud capabilities—leaving the company vulnerable to data loss and costly recovery efforts.

Switch Media deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on bare-metal CentOS, gaining agentless VM backup, replication, fast recoveries, global deduplication, network acceleration, backup copy between sites, and direct backup to AWS. The result: no more hanging jobs, faster backups, reduced network traffic, three-copy protection (onsite/offsite/cloud), seamless AWS integration, and nearly 40% savings on backup costs—improving reliability, performance, and operational efficiency.
