Branch Manufacturing Selecting Nakivo

Nakivo Inc. announced that Branch
Manufacturing Company – the sheet metal fabrication and components
manufacturer in Minnesota – has selected its Backup & Replication to
protect their mission-critical VMs.

Branch Manufacturing began as a tool and die shop in 1952. Then located in an
80’x80′ space, the company has since become one of the country’s leading
suppliers of machinery parts. From prototype through production,
Branch Manufacturing offers a spectrum of in-house manufacturing
services from its 60,000 square foot production plant. The company is a
supplier for manufacturers including Arctic Cat, Electrolux, Goodyear Tire,
Polaris, Hasbro, Toro, and Thermo King.

Branch Manufacturing has adopted a first generation VM backup tool, which could
not deliver the reliability and simplicity that the business required.

“With our old solution, VM backups
often failed and required manual intervention to complete successfully,“
said Dan Long, MIS director, Branch Manufacturing.

In search for a simple and reliable data protection solution Dan referred to Nexus, a Stratos company and
an IT solution and services provider in Minnesota – who recommended Nakivo
Backup & Replication.

“After testing several VM data
protection products side by side, we realized that Nakivo Backup &
Replication along with their highly responsive and helpful support team was the
best VM backup solution for our needs,” he said.

Since implementing Nakivo Backup & Replication, Branch Manufacturing has
improved VM backup efficiency.

“With Nakivo Backup &
Replication, my backup jobs are always successful. It just works.“
said Dan. “With advanced VM backup
functionality and impressive performance, Nakivo Backup & Replication has
reduced our overall virtualization data protection costs by 60%.“
