Hosting Opts for Zerto

Hosting.Com, Inc. (Hosting), a provider of managed cloud services, improved its HIPAA and PCI compliance capabilities with its new DR as a Service (DRaaS) cloud solution.

The Hosting DRaaS solution is powered by Zerto‘s BC/DR software which protects mission critical workloads and applications to improve IT resiliency. Leveraging Zerto Virtual Replication, Hosting will provide multi-cloud, single-team support on VMWare, Hyper-V and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help build, migrate, and manage compliance-mandated environments for their managed services customers.

“The new Hosting DRaaS solution offers customers the flexibility, control and support they need to protect their important applications and data from the ordinary such as human error, to the catastrophic such as natural disasters and even ransomware attacks,” said Darrell Hyde, CTO, Hosting. “Recognised as one of the largest VMware partners in North America, we replaced Site Recovery Manager with Zerto to increase our customers’ confidence knowing their workloads – no matter the type, size or scope – will be protected and quickly recovered with minimal impact on operations.“

The Hosting DRaaS solution provides replication between multiple hypervisor types, self-service capabilities through a secure portal, detailed reporting, non-disruptive testing and point-in-time recovery. Ranked as a top five company on Gartner’s 2015 Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting Magic Quadrant, the Hosting DRaaS offering is powered by Zerto to support migration integration between its own and third-party cloud providers such as Amazon and Azure, thereby reducing engineering development cycles. The improved compliance and service level agreement capabilities helps Hosting differentiate from large telecommunications providers that do not provide high-end support service.

“Though initially developed as a better way to do DR for virtualised environments, Zerto Virtual Replication has transformed the way organisations think about their overall IT strategies using our software to improve their IT resiliency,” said Paul Zeiter, president, Zerto. “Zerto has fundamentally changed the BC/DR category by not only redefining its true business role, but making it easy for cloud service providers such as Hosting to offer incomparable DRaaS capabilities to its clients.“
