SGS Chooses Zerto
For BC and DR
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on February 4, 2013 at 2:46 pmZerto, Inc., an hypervisor-based replication solution provider,
announced that Swiss multi-national conglomerate SGS SA has chosen Zerto Virtual
Replication (ZVR) for its BC and DR services.
SGS SA employs more than 70,000 people in
more than 1,350 offices and laboratories around the world that help companies
meet important health, safety and regulatory standards throughout the supply
chain process. Through inspections, certification and verification processes
and a network of testing facilities, SGS ensures companies are compliant with
both local and global standards and regulations.
"ZVR
is a straightforward product that is easy to implement and easy to use,"
says Baris Dogan, operations support team leader of SGS Turkey, the division of
SGS that deployed Zerto Virtual Replication. "We were able to replicate the same amount of data with Zerto twice as
fast when compared with the competition. We have full confidence in our BC/DR
strategy because we are able to test and validate it whenever we want, which
wasn’t the case with other solutions."
Working with Emobil, SGS Turkey evaluated several
solutions. To meet the joint criteria they developed, the solution needed
multi-site support in order to replicate from their seven branches back to
their main data center but also had to be simple to implement, test and use.
With ZVR, SGS was able to begin regular DR testing for the very first time,
thus minimizing the risk of their environment. Emobil guided SGS Turkey through
the evaluation and installed ZVR to protect all of their seven branches without
complexity.
"For
DR needs, there are orchestration tools, which are too complex and only deliver
half the solution, and backup products, which several of our customers have
deemed unreliable for replication," says Erhan Cevik, strategic
partner advising SGS and founding partner at Emobil. "At the end of the day, Zerto is the only complete, all-in-one solution
on the market."
"We
are always humbled when a large and respected enterprise like SGS Turkey
chooses our solution, and are pleased to provide them with a more complete and
easy-to-use BC/DR solution than they could find from any other vendor,"
said Ziv Kedem, CEO, Zerto. "Zerto
is a proven solution for any company, particularly complex global operations
who are virtualized and therefore in need of storage agnostic, multi-site BC/DR
solutions."
