Case Study: Virtual Computing achieves 10X faster VM backups and saves 1 hour/day with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

NAKIVO VM Backup Appliance Based on Synology NAS Boosts Performance by 10X for a Cloud Provider

Virtual Computing, an Eindhoven-based cloud provider serving 2,000+ end users and 300+ companies, runs about 250 VMware VMs that host critical services like SQL and Active Directory. Their previous VM backup solution produced frequent failures, slow recoveries and high administration overhead, so they needed a reliable, low-maintenance backup that ensured 24/7 availability and reduced complexity.

They installed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on Synology NAS (with a preconfigured virtual appliance for management), which was quick to deploy and delivered roughly 10× faster VM backups—most jobs now finish within 15 minutes—saving at least an hour of administration per day. The solution also provides Backup Copy for twin-datacenter replication, fast VM/object/file recovery, improved reliability and stability, and about 4× cost savings versus the prior solution.
