What is the Zerto Solution?

IT Resilience Platform™

Zerto's IT Resilience Platform™ converges disaster recovery, backup, and workload mobility whether on-premises or to, from and between hybrid and multi-cloud platforms. The platform is built on a foundation of continuous data protection (CDP) with built-in orchestration and automation providing IT leaders with simplicity, enterprise scale and agile data protection to save time, resources and costs. Analytics, with intelligent dashboards and live reports, provides complete visibility across multi-site and multi-cloud environments, giving organizations confidence that business service levels and compliance needs are met.

Disaster Recovery

Zerto is built from the ground up to be the simplest, most powerful disaster recovery solution for virtualized infrastructures. By including all the replication, recovery orchestration and automation in one simple software platform, users can recover one, all or a subset of virtualized applications, from anywhere to anywhere, maximizing the benefits of virtualization and cloud.

Through native integration into all supported platforms, Zerto not only allows replication and recovery between any storage, but it also protects across and between multiple hypervisors and public cloud platforms. This market-leading technology delivers a best of breed Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) solution irrespective of underlying hypervisor, public cloud or storage.

Zerto supports replication between VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and IBM Cloud. Zerto is the underpinning technology of hundreds of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) globally who are leading the way in delivering Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) capabilities.

Backup

Elastic Journal

The Zerto Elastic Journal is a new concept in data protection bringing together both short-term retention and long-term retention capabilities. Using unified data protection workflows, powered by intelligent index and search, it enables quick recovery of data - regardless of whether it's from a few seconds ago or a few years ago. Data gets copied from the short-term retention storage into the long-term retention repositories. As the short-term retention is already stored on the target side, moving data to long-term retention has no impact on production, so copies can be taken as often as needed, eliminating the concept of "backup windows".

Workload Mobility

Workload mobility is the ability to move workloads to, from and between multiple platforms, on-premises or cloud, with minimal business impact and no traditional infrastructure constraints. With the recent rise of cloud computing, there is now a plethora of cloud platforms to choose from, with large players such as Microsoft Azure, AWS and IBM Cloud as well as plenty of Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Each of these platforms have their own attributes which make them suited to certain workloads, whether through compliance, pricing or otherwise. Despite this, the cloud is not always the right option for all workloads, and because of this, the traditional on-premises deployments with VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V are still prevalent. Ultimately, having all of these options has led to increasing adoption of a multi-cloud and/or hybrid cloud strategy. Organizations are challenged to ensure that workloads, whether in the cloud or on-premises, are not locked into any one platform or vendor, and can be moved around based on where they fit best today, rather than yesterday. This is where workload mobility comes in, removing the traditional lock-in to these platforms and allowing workloads to be moved across platforms seamlessly, on-premises or in the cloud, including the ability to validate mobility prior to the live event without production impact.

Zerto supports any-to-any mobility between VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, AWS, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure and any of our hundreds of Zerto-powered Managed Service Providers (MSPs). For a full list of supported platforms and their versions, see our Interoperability Matrix.
