Case Study: Seoul City Gas achieves 4x faster VM backups and simplified deployment with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Reduces Deployment Time and Minimizes Complexity for Seoul City Gas

Seoul City Gas (SCG), a major distributor of liquefied natural gas serving Seoul, needed a simpler, more reliable way to protect its datacenter—six physical servers and about 40 VMware VMs that run critical services like billing, GIS, call center, SQL, DNS and groupware. Their legacy backup required installing agents on VMs, was time‑consuming and complex, and left administrators unsure backups were recoverable; moving data to a Synology NAS prompted a search for a proper VM backup solution.

SCG adopted NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a Synology NAS, chosen for ease of use, lower licensing costs and tight integration. The solution delivers full and forever‑incremental backups (weekly fulls ~30 minutes; daily incrementals ~10 minutes), improving backup speed about 4x, plus screenshot verification and instant VM/file recovery—reducing deployment time and complexity while increasing recoverability and lowering overall cost.
