Case Study: Charlotte Radiology achieves 2X VM backup speed and 50% storage savings with NAKIVO Backup & Replication on Synology NAS

NAKIVO VM Backup Appliance Based on Synology NAS Boosts Backup Speed by 2X for a Medical Institution

Charlotte Radiology, a large radiology group with 19 locations and a virtualized environment of 10 ESXi hosts, needed reliable protection for its mission-critical Radiology Information System. Their previous VM backup solution was complex, required specialized knowledge (only two staff could operate it), limited how much data they could protect, and made scheduling multiple jobs difficult—creating risk for around-the-clock patient services.

They replaced it with NAKIVO Backup & Replication installed on Synology NAS, a unified, easy-to-use appliance with built-in cloud integration and no capacity limits. Backups now run six days a week (file servers every three hours), performance is nearly 2x faster, and deduplication/compression cut nightly backup volumes from ~13 TB to ~5 TB (about 50% storage savings), allowing the organization to back up all VMs and confidently copy backups to the cloud.
