Case Study: COZZINI achieves 40% backup cost savings and faster VM recovery with NAKIVO Backup & Replication on Synology NAS

NAKIVO on NAS Helps a Manufacturer Save 40% on Backup Costs

COZZINI LLC., a Chicago‑based designer and manufacturer of food processing equipment with offices in the US, Mexico, Brazil and Denmark, runs a virtual environment of 10 ESXi hosts and ~40 VMware VMs that support critical systems such as ERP and engineering document management. Facing budget constraints, an aging disk backup approach, and a departing system administrator, the company needed a reliable, affordable VM backup solution that would protect all VMs and minimize downtime risk.

COZZINI deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on Synology NAS appliances (six units), gaining forever‑incremental backups with GFS retention, fast 15–30 minute backup windows, and instant VM/file recovery in seconds. The integrated NAS/software appliance simplified administration, enabled plans for offsite copies, and delivered a 40% reduction in VM backup costs while improving recovery speed and reliability.
