Case Study: VSN Systems achieves near-instant VM recovery and improved backup performance with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO Saves One Day on VM Recovery for an IT Company

VSN Systems BV, a Dutch IT company that manages networks and systems for global telecommunications providers, needed reliable, fast protection for roughly 1,000 VMs across an office and datacenter. Their legacy VMware backup was unstable, often halted entire jobs on single failures, and could require days to rebuild critical VMs — an unacceptable risk for VoIP services where downtime impacts customers’ ability to call or top up accounts.

VSN selected NAKIVO Backup & Replication for its ease of use, pricing (no socket limits), and strong support. NAKIVO runs eight nightly jobs in about three hours with a practical retention policy, supports job chaining so backups continue despite individual failures, and enables near-instant VM recovery with Flash VM Boot — saving VSN a full day of work versus rebuilding a VM — while providing centralized, reliable backup management.
