VM Level Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/ DR) for VMware Just Got Easier

Automated data recovery, failover and failback: Select any VM in VMware’s vCenter, click the Zerto tab and it’s protected. It’s that simple – no storage configuration necessary, no agent installation on guest required.

Zerto protects at the VM and VMDK level, which means that protection decisions can be made without any storage constraints.

• Replicate single or multiple VMs
• Use an intuitive GUI embedded in VMware’s vCenter
• Protect multiple virtual disks connected to the same VM
• Recover immediately with the click of a button
• Support replication of RDM devices
• View and manage local and remote sites from the same vCenter
• Deliver consistent protection across your company with the ability to support multiple sites

Enterprise-Class Replication

Zerto was designed to replace array-based replication. It provides the flexibility, scalability and ease of use expected in the virtual world without compromising any of the features and functionality required for protecting mission-critical production applications.

• Achieve seconds of RPO with continuous replication
• Recover applications instantly and automatically, providing RTO of minutes
• Protect thousands of VMs with scale-out replication architecture
• Reduce application performance impact to zero by eliminating snapshots
• Recover from logical or operator errors with journal-based, point-in-time recovery
• Monitor and report with built-in reporting and performance UI
• Centralized management simplifies tasks, ensuring application availability
   

Multi-tier Application Protection & Recovery

Protect applications, not LUNs! With Zerto’s Virtual Protection Groups (VPGs), you can group VMs and virtual disks to be protected and recovered together. This provides complete consistency, regardless of physical location on servers and storage.

• Group VMs and virtual disks into VPGs
• Maintain all properties of VPGs, VMs and vApps
• Test recovery, failover and failback of entire VPGs
• Support VMotion, storage VMotion, DRS and HA while replicating
• Get application protection policy and QoS
• Leverage built-in support for VSS and VMware vApp objects

Complete BC/DR: Replication, Testing, Recovery, CDP, Migration, Reporting

Zerto eliminates the need to use multiple solutions for your business continuity and disaster recovery needs. All required workflows and functionality are built-in with easy-to-follow, scalable wizards, empowering you to:

• Failover one or more VPGs through automated failback
• Recover to a historic point-in-time with journal-based CDP
• Recover applications instantly, in full read-write mode
• Test failover, including full remote recovery in a sandboxed zone
• Migrate workloads to a remote datacenter
• Monitor with comprehensive reporting on all system-wide activities

Hypervisor-Based Replication

At the heart of Zerto’s patent-pending replication technology is the Zerto Virtual Replication Appliance (VRA). A single, software-based VRA is quickly installed on each host, capable of protecting all the VMs on that host. The VRA continuously replicates data from VMs and VMDKs selected by the user, compressing it and sending it to the remote site over WAN. Replication is performed in a nearsynchronous manner without a snapshot or CBT mechanism, avoiding any negative impact on application performance.  VRAs on different hosts communicate between themselves, synchronizing replication to ensure block-level consistency between different VMs located on different hosts and storage arrays. Hypervisor-based replication is fully agnostic to storage source and destination,natively supporting all virtualization platform features including VMotion,storage VMotion, high availability, clustering and more.

Cloud-Ready Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery to the cloud is considered by many enterprises as a natural first step in the journey to the cloud, being an effective alternative to in-house DR sites.

Zerto’s technology fits perfectly with the specific needs of both enterprises and cloud
providers.

• Replication from any storage to any storage
• Management API
• Built-in WAN optimization
• Native multi-tenancy support
• Software only, highly scalable
• Tier-one protection level
