University of Louisville Physicians Cures DR Ills with Zerto

Zerto, Inc. announced that University of Louisville Physicians has chosen its Virtual Replication (ZVR) for DR to support its mission critical applications.

UofL Physicians comprises more than 500 members of the University of
Louisville School of Medicine faculty who treat patients throughout
Kentucky and southern Indiana and in hospitals all across the region.
 
UofL Physicians implemented ZVR to protect applications that are crucial
for patient care, including AllScripts – Electronic Health Records, GE
Healthcare’s Centricity, and the Impact document imaging solution. ZVR
was chosen due to its ability to deliver the service levels without
requiring any changes to UofL Physicians’ environment or operations.
When implemented, the service was up and running in less than two hours,
protecting several mission critical applications with just under 16TB
of data, and delivering an RPO of less than 10 seconds and an RTO of less than five minutes.
 
"We previously tried two other top-tier replication solutions, but
neither provided the performance that we require for our virtual
environment," said Robert Patterson, systems administrator, UofL Physicians. "The
hypervisor-based ZVR solution was a perfect fit, providing very low RPO
and RTO while successfully leveraging the flexibility and agility
offered by the VMware environment."
 
Zerto offers a virtual-aware 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 consider it a privilege to facilitate the work of a group that
does as much public good as University of Louisville Physicians," said Ziv Kedem, CEO, Zerto. "UofL
Physicians can rest assured that Zerto Virtual Replication will protect
all of its mission critical applications while its members focus on
providing superior patient care."
 
Zerto worked with SIS, a solutions provider helping clients design, optimize and support mission-critical assets, on this project.
