Enterprise-class disaster recovery and business continuity software for virtualized data centers and cloud environments: Zerto

Why do Businesses need a disaster recovery solution?

Many organizations think that disaster for a business datacenter equals hurricane, floods and other weather-related events. Research has shown this is simply not the case. Ransomware (Cryptolocker), internal human errors, bad hardware along with other “disasters” account for the majority of the causes of a datacenter outage. When a disaster strikes, businesses without a thorough disaster recovery solution strategy in place run the risk of losing more than just their valuable data.

Complete BC/DR solution -Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Hundreds of thousands of organizations all over the world leverage virtualization technologies to deliver their IT services and applications on scalable and efficient platforms. Whether the virtualization platform is based on VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V the same key challenges of implementing a complete business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) strategy for virtualized applications remain. Each of these BC/DR challenges can be solved by implementing multiple business continuity and disaster recovery technology solutions, each requiring its own skillsets, management overheads, cost centers and complexity.

Zerto Virtual Replication

Zerto Virtual Replication delivers all the features required to provide a complete BC/DR solution in one simple to use software solution making it indispensable to organizations of any size that have embraced virtualization.

By replicating in the hypervisor-layer using simple scalable software Zerto Virtual Replication removes technology lock-in by enabling VMware replication or Hyper-V replication from any storage to any storage, between multiple hypervisors and multiple clouds allowing freedom of choice based on cost, performance and SLA, not based on technical limitations.

Zerto Virtual Replication utilizes continuous data protection to minimize data loss by delivering RPOs of seconds with point in time recovery down to the second, up to 14 days in the past, removing the risk of data loss by restoring from backups.

DRaaS: Disaster Recovery as a Service

DRaaS uses a cloud provider’s computers, networking and storage to act as the target site for replication and recovery of your company’s critical data and applications. Zerto Virtual Replication enables cloud service providers to offer a robust, cost-effective system of DRaaS. Zerto enables cloud service providers to unleash the DRaaS / RaaS opportunity.  Enterprises are starting to see the value of the cloud, but are hesitant to trust an emerging technology with mission-critical data due to concerns about availability, performance and security. Providing Disaster Recovery as a Service, in which the enterprise replicates its production applications to the cloud, is a win-win situation.   The enterprise has the opportunity to safely evaluate what the Cloud Service Provider has to offer, and become comfortable with the concept of a cloud.
