Insurance Company Philadelphia Contributionship Chooses Zerto

Zerto, Inc., the hypervisor-based replication solution provider, announced that the Philadelphia Contributionship has
chosen Zerto Virtual Replication for DR to support the company’s data center
virtualization efforts.

Established by Benjamin Franklin in 1752, the Philadelphia Contributionship is
America’s oldest insurance company, providing personalized home, fire, and
flood insurance to over 400 insurance agencies across several mid-Atlantic
states including Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

The Contributionship implemented Virtual Replication to
protect essential servers and applications dedicated to the company’s daily
business functions, including accounting, document management and IT support
systems as well as SharePoint.

The company began evaluating and upgrading
their BC/DR capabilities following Hurricane Irene, when they realized that
their existing strategies and solutions provided minimal protection against a
major systems failure.

"Our old recovery and
testing strategy was a complex ordeal at best, as it put intensive strains on
our network and made it impossible to meet the recovery objectives our business
demands," said Mark Montagna, IT infrastructure manager, Philadelphia
Contributionship. "Zerto delivered
comprehensive data and application protection without any updates or upgrades
to our current network or storage infrastructure, simply and affordably."

Zerto offers a virtual-aware BC and DR (BC/DR) solution, which
replicates data within the virtual infrastructure instead of in physical
storage. By moving replication to the hypervisor, companies extend the benefits
of virtualization, including flexibility, mobility and scalability to their DR
solutions. Hypervisor-based replication combines the enterprise
features of physical replication with the flexibility, ease-of-management and
control, and scalability of virtual environments.

"We are proud to have
been selected by the Philadelphia Contributionship as they modernize their data
center," said Ziv Kedem, CEO of Zerto.  "Zerto Virtual Replication provides insurance
for business critical data and applications’, offering enterprise data recovery
and protection for today’s virtualized environments."
