Case Study: China Railway Liuyuan achieves 47% storage savings and near‑instant VM recovery with Synology Inc.'s NAS and Active Backup for Business

China Railway Liuyuan Group Co., Ltd. - Customer Case Study

China Railway Liuyuan faced rapidly growing data from 700 PCs, 13 physical servers and 49 VMs across complex business units, and found traditional backup systems too slow, fragmented and resource‑inefficient. After testing vendors, China Railway Liuyuan selected Synology Inc. NAS solutions—including Synology Drive and Active Backup for Business—to build a private cloud and centralize backups with an intuitive, low‑training interface.

Synology Inc. deployed NAS appliances and Active Backup for Business to provide agentless, centralized backups, global deduplication and CBT, plus Synology Drive for secure private cloud access and collaboration. The deployment cut backup storage from 4.4 TB to 2.34 TB (≈47% savings), reduced VM backup times (second backups in 1m36s), achieved RTOs in seconds and restored 500 GB in under five minutes, greatly simplifying IT operations and improving recovery performance and collaboration across the organization.
