This solution enables SMEs customers and partners to continue accessing business-critical applications with minimal disruption during a downtime event. The cost-effective service offers HA and reliability for even the demanding RTOs.

“From human-led malicious attacks to unexpected system downtime to natural disasters, unforeseen events can be costly, even devastating, for today’s data-driven business,” said Mike Grossman, CEO, Zetta. “With the new Zetta DR, applications and databases can failover in less than five minutes, so businesses and their employees can continue working without interruption. This delivers true peace-of-mind without the cost and complexity that has been traditionally associated with DR solutions.“

“At EMA we have estimated that the cost of downtime can vary from as much as $90,000 to $6 million an hour, depending on the industry and its application environment. But, no matter how you slice it, downtime is a cost most businesses simply can’t endure,” said Jim Miller, senior analyst, Enterprise Management Associates, Inc. “DR in the cloud can be an efficient and cost-effective way to avoid the potentially high cost of downtime. With Zetta DR, Zetta delivers cloud-based business continuance with a complete service that features both simplicity and affordability.“

Easy-to-achieve disaster readiness and recovery
Zetta DR is an end-to-end service that provides complete deployment-to-failback coverage. It includes upfront network, firewall, VPN and connectivity configuration and automated DR testing, which can be customized to accommodate an organization’s unique network environment, ensuring that, in the event of a disaster of any kind, a company can be operational in the cloud.

This DR service supports incremental failback, allowing companies to continue to run their systems in the cloud, while Zetta DR manages sequential failback in the background. As a result, final switchover from cloud to local operations can happen painlessly – in minutes.

Enterprise-grade DR solution at affordable price
Zetta DR is a cost-effective option for companies that cannot afford to invest in a secondary DR site but who require rapid failover with truly dynamic scalability and rapid throughput rates. It bundles network and VPN configuration, and DR testing and planning, eliminating the need for companies to engage outside professional service firms to perform these functions.

Optimized for complex IT environments
Zetta DR has been architected with the needs of larger enterprises in mind: to rapidly protect very large data sets and complex IT environments using fewer system resources and in less time than alternative options.

Key features include:

• Support for end-to-end DR including backup, failover and failback

• Failback flexibility with support for incremental failbacks

• High-performing IO, CPU and RAM resources to support workload demands of SMEs organizations

• Pre-provisioned virtual VPN and firewall to ensure that an organization’s workers have on-demand access to applications running in the Zetta Cloud

• Power-on DR testing to validate that systems and applications will be operational in event of disaster

All protected data is encrypted via SSL in flight to and via AES at rest in the Zetta Cloud. For additional security, options for secure VPN connectivity to the recovered environment in the Zetta Cloud include Point to Site, Site to Site and IP takeover.

Zetta DR is an extension of the company’s BC suite of solutions that also includes firm’s Data Protection, an cloud backup and restore solution. The BC suite provides organizations with uninterrupted access to their business-critical data and applications and currently supports more than 2,000 SMEs customers and partners.

Zetta DR is available on a subscription basis.
