Case Study: Wahiawa General Hospital saves thousands on VM backup costs and achieves rapid recovery with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Saves Hawaiian Hospital Thousands of Dollars

Wahiawa General Hospital, a nonprofit community hospital in Central Oahu, relies on virtual infrastructure to support patient care, admissions, and accounting. Facing an expensive, unreliable snapshot-based backup system that didn’t alert on failures, the IT team needed an easy-to-manage, application-aware VM backup solution that could deliver fast recovery and meet tight SLAs without straining their budget.

The hospital deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a QNAP NAS, gaining incremental and application-aware backups, instant VM and file/object recovery, and proactive vendor support. The combined NAKIVO+QNAP solution cut costs significantly (reported as roughly 5× less expensive than alternatives), restored critical systems in minutes, reduced administrative overhead to a one-person operation, and saved the hospital thousands of dollars.
