Case Study: Suwannee American Cement achieves 60% reduction in backup administration time with NAKIVO Backup & Replication

US Cement Company Reduces Backup Administration Time by 60% with NAKIVO

Suwannee American Cement (SAC), the second-largest cement supplier in Florida with three 24/7 facilities, relied on a mix of physical servers and VMs hosting critical databases and manufacturing software. Reliable, fast backups were essential for safety and continuous operations, but previous solutions were costly, manual, and time-consuming, prompting SAC to seek an automated, easy-to-manage backup that covered both virtual and physical environments.

SAC deployed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on two QNAP NAS units, taking advantage of simple installation, integrated storage and software, job scheduling, reporting, Flash VM Boot and granular recovery. The solution improved backup performance, enabled near-instant and file-level recoveries, and reduced backup administration time by 60%, freeing IT resources while remaining affordable.
