NAKIVO Helps Italian Sleep Products Company Ensure Ransomware Recovery
Business Challenge
Dorelan is one of the best-known Italian brands for sleep products. The company manufactures and sells mattresses, bed bases, pillows, and designer beds, guaranteeing customers high-quality products.
Dorelan operates out of three sites, with 3 physical servers and 45 virtual machines. Virtual machines contain the company’s critical data, such as databases with sales and customer data, CRM data, working folders and files, and other information. Backup and recovery services are essential for Dorelan since all transactions and customer data should be available 24/7 for the business to be operational. If the data is unavailable, all business operations come to a standstill.
Dorelan’s previous VM backup solution involved long backup times, and the long recovery times were not acceptable for the company. Dorelan decided to look for a new VM backup solution because the company needed to protect their data in a secure way, without spending a significant amount of time on managing the solution. The main criteria for selection were speed and reliability.
Solution
HORSA, Dorelan’s ICT partner, recommended NAKIVO Backup & Replication as a possible replacement for the previous VM backup software. HORSA installed NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a QNAP NAS and supported Dorelan during the whole implementation and deployment stage. “We have decided to install NAKIVO Backup & Replication on our QNAP NAS server because we wanted to integrate software and hardware together. We gained some advantages, including higher speed of VM replication,” says Diano Tura, founder of Dorelan.
“We spend six hours every day on backup. We perform backups every day, as well as weekly backups to the cloud. We appreciate the speed of VM backup and VM replication. VM replication is the best feature for us because we can failover our most important VMs in no time, which saves us a significant amount of time,” says Diano. “Instant VM recovery permits us to recover entire VMs in a few minutes. While with instant granular recovery, we can recover individual files and folders from backups rather quickly as well,” says Diano.
“In addition, we appreciate the retention options and backup immutability. The retention options allow us to manage multiple versions of the virtual machine. With immutability, our backup data is protected from any external attacks. NAKIVO Backup & Replication allows us to use backup repositories that support immutability to prevent backup data encryption and corruption, allowing for safer recoveries,” says Diano.
Results
“NAKIVO Backup & Replication helped us achieve faster backups and recoveries. We appreciate the performance of the product and how easily we can recover entire VMs and files. By switching to NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we managed to save nearly EUR 900 yearly. We also appreciate the technical support since they are extremely fast and professional, as all our inquiries were managed immediately. Thanks to NAKIVO Backup & Replication, we improved performance, saved time on management, and enabled immutability to protect our data against ransomware,” says Diano.
