Case Study: Sligro Food Group achieves simplified, faster backup and recovery across Nutanix and physical servers with Unitrends

Sligro Values Unitrends Total Protection

Sligro Food Group, a leading foodservice distributor in the Netherlands and Belgium with 50+ cash-and-carry and delivery outlets and in‑house production, struggled with slow, unreliable backups and lengthy restores using IBM Tivoli—especially for large Exchange and SQL applications—while moving to Nutanix AHV and a heterogeneous environment of physical Linux/Windows servers and VMware/AHV virtual machines.

Sligro deployed Unitrends Backup virtual appliances and Unitrends Recovery Assurance to provide native AHV protection, block-level agents for large files, and automated recovery testing. The result: faster, more intuitive backups and rapid restores of Exchange and SQL, full protection across local and remote sites, easier admin training, and responsive support—eliminating gaps and meeting Sligro’s disaster recovery objectives.
