Asustor and Nakivo Join Forces

Asustor Inc., a provider of network storage solutions, partnered with Nakivo, Inc. to provide a fast, reliable and affordable data protection solution for VMs.

Users can install the Nakivo Backup & Replication App on their NAS to leverage its hardware and storage and turn it into a VM backup center. It makes it easy to backup data from VMware and Hyper-V machines.

Backup & Replication is a fast and reliable VM backup solution, supporting VM backup and restoration in VMware, Hyper-V and AWS EC2 environments. Utilizing Asustor NAS in combination with Nakivo allows VMs running in VMware and Hyper-V environments to have data protection.

Nakivo features a variety of functions that make backups more efficient. The network acceleration function doubles VM backup, replication and recovery speeds in WAN and busy LAN networks while Nakivo can also delete redundant files and compress data during backup in order to save storage space. In the unfortunate event that DR is needed, Nakivo can help to restore VM data in minutes, giving you access to critical data.

“As businesses continue to look for cost-effective resources that are able to be flexibly deployed, the demand for virtualization will continue to increase,” said Quote Lin, CTO, Asustor. “This integration with Nakivo will allow users to enjoy a complete VM backup solution on their Asustor NAS devices. We recommend that users utilize Asustor’s enterprise NAS products combined with Nakivo in order to get a highly reliable VM backup solution with an optimal price to performance ratio.“
