Virtual Replication 2.0 Introduced by Zerto

Zerto, an hypervisor-based replication solution provider, introduced Virtual Replication 2.0, developed specifically for protecting applications in and between private, public and hybrid clouds.

Key features of the new solution include a multi-tenant architecture, deep VMware vCloud Director (VCD) integration, centralized management and multi-site replication support.

Virtual Replication 2.0 is a BC/DR platform that meets the data protection, replication and recovery needs of enterprises of all sizes deploying private clouds as well as companies looking to protect applications deployed in the public cloud. The product also unleashes the potential for cloud service providers to provide true cost-effective Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) to the public cloud without the need to deploy specific hardware.

Key features of Zerto Virtual Replication 2.0
for enterprises and cloud service providers include:

• Multi-site – ability to replicate between more than one site, enabling cloud providers to support many customers and enabling enterprises to protect multiple data centers as well as remote branch offices
• Multi-tenant architecture – replication to shared infrastructure from multiple customers without network conflicts
• VMware vCloud Director (VCD) integration – for seamless and automated recovery in virtual datacenters and vApps protection, including support for non VCD clouds
• Test and validate recovery anytime – recovers customer applications in the cloud with one click
• Array agnostic – replicates any customer environment to any cloud regardless of storage vendor or architecture
• Deployed quickly and remotely – installs remotely in under an hour without requiring any changes to the customer environment
• Granular and comprehensive – allows customers to pick specific applications to protect, regardless of their physical server or storage location
• Scalable and flexible – protect both mission-critical applications and tier 2/3 applications with the same solution, scaling from a few VMs to thousands of VMs
• Consistent and reliable – provides scalable, continuous replication (no snapshots) with RPO of seconds and RTO of minutes

"Cloud is becoming a key part of enterprise IT plans and BC/DR is an integral component," said Ziv Kedem, CEO, Zerto. "We see a great opportunity in enabling cloud service providers to deliver DRaaS and other BC/DR services with true cloud cost-effectiveness, for enterprise customers of all sizes."

The company launched the 1.0 enterprise version of its hypervisor-based, virtual-aware, replication solution in June.

Zerto Virtual Replication has recently won SearchServerVirtualization.com’s 2011 Product of the Year Gold award in Backup and Storage, Best of Show at VMworld 2011, a Gold award in the Business Continuity and Data Protection category and a Cloud Award for Most Promising new Startup in the cloud computing industry.
