Case Study: Weldall Manufacturing achieves 30% backup cost savings and 50% faster VM recovery with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Saves Large Manufacturer 30% on Backup Costs and Boosts Recovery Time by 50%

Weldall Manufacturing, a large weldment and fabrication company near Milwaukee, WI, operates a three-site VMware environment with six physical servers and 60 VMs supporting VDI, ERP, SQL, and other critical systems. The IT team faced failed backup jobs, long backup windows and file restores (sometimes up to an hour), and compatibility issues with VMware upgrades, prompting a search for a faster, more reliable and scalable VM backup and replication solution.

After testing three products, Weldall deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication, which was quick to install, easy to manage and provided VM backup, replication and instant file recovery. Results include reducing the daily 6 TB backup window from ~12 hours to ~4 hours, cutting file recovery times by about 50%, enabling fast DR testing via VM replication, and lowering backup costs by 30% while improving administration through an intuitive web interface and AD integration.
