Zerto
The Foundation for a Resilient Business.
Overview
Zerto, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, provides a software-only platform that combines disaster recovery and data mobility. It uses continuous data protection (CDP) to replicate workloads from on-premises environments (like VMware and Hyper-V) to public clouds or other sites, enabling recovery point objectives (RPOs) of seconds and recovery time objectives (RTOs) of minutes. This same technology is used for seamless application migration.
✨ Key Features
- Continuous Data Protection (CDP)
- Journal-based, point-in-time recovery
- Application-centric protection and mobility (Virtual Protection Groups)
- Automated and orchestrated recovery and migration workflows
- Multi-cloud mobility (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud)
- Ransomware resilience with immutable data copies
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Continuous Data Protection (CDP) with journal-based recovery allows for granular, point-in-time restores.
- Application-centric consistency groups ensure multi-VM applications are recovered in a consistent state.
- Hypervisor-based replication is hardware and storage agnostic.
Unique Value: Delivers near-synchronous replication and recovery for mission-critical applications, enabling both disaster recovery and seamless multi-cloud migration with the same platform.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Replicating and migrating mission-critical VMware applications to Azure with minimal downtime
- Failing over an entire datacenter to a secondary site or the cloud for disaster recovery
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Simple file backup
- Migrations of single, non-critical physical servers
🏆 Alternatives
Offers significantly lower RPOs (seconds) compared to traditional snapshot-based backup and replication solutions. Its application-centric approach is superior for protecting and migrating complex, tiered applications.
