Advantages
Higher Performance
By running NAKIVO Backup & Replication on your ReadyNAS server, you can experience a significant boost in backup performance. Regardless of which type of NETGEAR ReadyNAS you choose for your infrastructure – desktop or rackmount – you can expect an increase of up to 2X in VM backup speed. Since your VM backups are written directly to NAS disks, you can bypass the overlay of NFS and CIFS network protocols.
Stronger Protection
The VM backup appliance built with ReadyNAS allows you to back up your VMware and Hyper-V VMs, as well as AWS EC2 instances, while keeping copies in the cloud for increased data protection. All the tasks are fully automated – NAKIVO Backup & Replication takes care of your essential business data without requiring any extra effort on your part.
Smaller Backups
NAKIVO Backup & Replication was engineered with storage saving in mind. The product offers a comprehensive set of features that help substantially storage space consumption. To use disk space most efficiently, the solution applies multiple techniques, including exclusion of swap data, global deduplication, and data compression.
Faster DR
Disaster recovery is made easy with the NETGEAR ReadyNAS-based VM backup appliance. The appliance allows you to separate your VM backups from the rest of your infrastructure. This way, if disaster strikes, you have everything you need for painless DR – backup hardware, software, and data backups. You can recover entire VMs, files/folders, or application objects (Microsoft Active Directory, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange) right from compressed and deduplicated VM backups. Thus, the NETGEAR ReadyNAS-based VM backup appliance is a fast, robust, and reliable DR solution that can prevent any disaster from affecting your business operations.
Better Cost Efficiency
Using a ReadyNAS-based VM backup appliance saves you money. You can use the appliance to process and store your VM backups, without purchasing a separate backup server together on top of your storage server. Moreover, NAKIVO Backup & Replication comes at an affordable price. Using the NAKIVO + NETGEAR VM backup appliance proves up to 5X less expensive than buying a purpose-built backup appliance with comparable software and hardware characteristics.
