Qnap and Nakivo Together to Provide an All-in-One Backup Solution

QNAP, Systems, Inc. has teamed up with Nakivo, Inc. to provide a performing yet affordable VM backup solution that is integrated with QNAP NAS.

This joint solution contains all of the elements for DR: hardware to run restores, backup data, and backup software. Users can benefit from the 1.9X backup speed boost when Nakivo is deployed directly on a QNAP NAS, and enjoy a lower price versus other dedicated backup appliances.

Nakivo Backup & Replication is a fast, reliable, and affordable VM backup solution that supports agentless, application-aware VMware, Hyper-V and AWS EC2 VM backup and replication. It offers features that increase backup performance, improve reliability and speed up recovery, including data deduplication and compression for reducing storage space, forever-incremental backups with CBT/RCT, LAN-free data transfer, fast VM and object recovery, backup copy, instant backup verification with screenshots of test-recovered VMs, and more.

By installing Backup & Replication v7 directly from QNAP QTS App Center, users that require uncompromising VM protection can combine the powerful, secure, and feature-rich QNAP NAS storage with the feature set of Backup & Replication.

“We are excited to extend our collaboration with QNAP by expanding support for their high-performance and reliable NAS products,” said Bruce Talley, CEO, Nakivo, adding : “QNAP has garnered a reputation for creating gold-standard, virtualization-ready business and entry-level enterprise NAS devices. It is a pleasure working with their talented team and innovative products.“

“Nakivo provides excellent functionality and an affordable option for QNAP NAS users to backup VMs with a unified, single system,” said Jack Yang, associate VP of product management, QNAP. “To fulfill intensive virtualization applications in modern IT infrastructures, we recommend the dual-controller Enterprise ZFS NAS as HA VM storage, while users can easily leverage the QNAP-based Nakivo VM backup solution for online backups from the Enterprise ZFS NAS to enjoy a complete virtualization-ready solution.“

Nakivo also supports backing up VM copies from QNAP NAS to onsite/offsite storage or Amazon Cloud for double protection. Backup Copy jobs have their own schedule and recovery point retention policy to provide an efficient DR solution.

The Nakivo app is available from the QTS App Center.
