Case Study: SCHOTT protects 300+ VMs worldwide with Synology

SCHOTT protects 300+ VMs and saves $35,000 a year with Synology

SCHOTT, a global glass and glass-ceramics manufacturer, faced challenges in protecting its highly distributed virtual machine (VM) infrastructure across 14 sites. Its legacy file-based backup solution lacked scalability, VM-level access controls, and was becoming cost-prohibitive. SCHOTT needed a future-proof platform from Synology Inc. with air-gapped functionality and streamlined management for hundreds of VMs.

Synology implemented a centralized backup solution using its NAS units and ActiveProtect software. This provided SCHOTT with automated VM backups, centralized management, and enhanced cyber resilience across over 300 virtual machines. The solution from Synology eliminated the need for pre-allocated volumes and manual assignments while delivering significant cost savings, estimated at $35,000 per year in avoided licensing fees for the Americas alone.
