Case Study: Providence High School achieves $8,000 in backup savings and reliable student data availability with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Saves High School $8,000 in 2020

Providence High School, an inter-parochial secondary school in Clarksville, Indiana, manages four physical servers and 15 virtual machines that host critical student records and financial systems. The school’s previous cloud/hybrid backup solution suffered from failed jobs, agent‑related VM slowdowns, undersized hardware and rising renewal costs, creating reliability and budget challenges at a time when IT spending needed to be reduced.

The IT team replaced that solution with NAKIVO Backup & Replication installed on FreeNAS, gaining an agentless, faster and more reliable backup environment with global deduplication and Active Directory integration. The new setup eliminated failed backups, improved VM performance, required no additional hardware, and saved the school $8,000 in 2020 with an estimated $1,300 in recurring annual savings, freeing funds for other school priorities.
