IT Company Consolidates Backup Operations Across Cloud and On-Prem with NAKIVO
Business Challenge
Aurum Proptech Ltd. is an IT services company that develops technology solutions tailored to the real estate industry. In addition to offering proprietary platforms for property management and digital transformation, the company also serves as a strategic IT partner for the Aurum Group of Companies, supporting core digital operations across the entire group.
As Aurum Proptech scaled its operations, managing a hybrid IT environment across Amazon AWS, Microsoft 365, and an on-premises datacenter became increasingly complex. The previous cloud-based backup solution proved unreliable, with frequent recovery failures that introduced operational risks and compromised business continuity.
The IT team required a comprehensive, on-premises solution that could handle a variety of workloads, support bare metal recovery, provide local storage, while eliminating recurring third-party cloud costs.
According to Himanshu Thosar, Chief Digital Officer at Aurum, “Backup and replication are the first line of defense. Any failure in this layer could bring our operations to a hard stop.”
Solution
After a thorough evaluation, Aurum Proptech selected NAKIVO Backup & Replication as it was the only solution that met all their technical and business requirements:
- Unified protection for Amazon AWS, Microsoft 365, and on-premises workloads
- Full bare metal recovery capabilities
- Local backup storage for complete data ownership
- Perpetual licensing to control long-term costs
NAKIVO Backup & Replication was deployed entirely onsite, with daily incremental and weekly full backups scheduled during non-working hours to avoid disruptions. Key workloads protected include ERP systems, document management, and project management platforms. Installation and deployment were supported by Pentagon System and Services P. Ltd., ensuring a smooth transition with responsive assistance and minimal overhead.
Among the most valued features is instant granular recovery, which allows the IT team to recover individual files and objects on demand, eliminating the need for full VM recovery. The IT team also benefits from Microsoft 365 backup, Active Directory integration, and improved visibility and control through centralized IT monitoring.
“With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we now have a reliable infrastructure that gives us full control. We can spin up VMs, recover files instantly, and maintain onsite backup copies, without depending on third-party providers,” said Himanshu Thosar.
Results
Since adopting NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Aurum Proptech has seen major improvements in backup efficiency, resilience, and cost management:
- A reliable, on-premise backup infrastructure that has eliminated dependence on external service providers
- Significant cost savings by eliminating cloud storage fees
- Faster and more flexible recovery, thanks to instant granular recovery
- Enhanced disaster recovery capabilities through backup copy and instant VM recovery features
- Continuous Microsoft 365 data availability across users and departments

“We have enabled Microsoft 365 backup for all our users and now keep physical backups securely in our datacenter. NAKIVO Backup & Replication gives us the confidence that our critical data is protected and instantly recoverable.”
