Case Study: Save the Children Spain achieves simplified disaster recovery and significant cost savings with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

Save the Children Spain Deploys NAKIVO to Simplify Disaster Recovery and Save Costs

Save the Children Spain, a branch of the global non-profit with 10 locations and two datacenters, needed a reliable, cost‑effective way to protect nearly 40 virtual machines and critical project data across a hybrid infrastructure. Their previous backup vendor was too expensive and lacked NAS support, making daily backups and fast disaster recovery difficult while straining a limited budget.

They deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a Synology NAS, which reduced licensing costs (reported as up to ~10× cheaper than prior maintenance), freed production resources, and simplified backups with global deduplication. Initial full backups now take ~24 hours and daily incrementals ~3 hours, with VM replication between datacenters and instant granular recovery via a web interface—delivering simplified disaster recovery, faster restores, and measurable cost savings.
