How Zerto Can Help You to

Meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Balancing Time and Resources to Meet SLAs

Whether it’s a service level agreement (SLA) for disaster recovery, patching systems and software, or migrating workloads or an entire data center, you’re racing against the clock with limited resources.

In addition, each SLA applies to a different area and requires distinct solutions and skillsets.

Ensuring operations continuity

To reduce the impact of any disruption on operations, IT recovery time requirements keep getting shorter. Recovery solutions must minimize downtime and data loss to meet these requirements while simplifying the recovery management process to reduce overhead and complexity.

Supporting strategic initiatives

Managing workload and VM migrations at scale is a must when executing strategic, highly visible IT consolidation or modernization initiatives. At a bare minimum, you must shorten the timeline and minimize impact on operations in a safe, seamless manner.

Maintaining a safe, protected infrastructure

To keep up with cyber threats, the security team flags vulnerabilities that need to be addressed quickly. In addition, software and application upgrades come with their own deadlines and risks (CrowdStrike global disruption). The main challenge is to test and validate changes before implementation in an environment similar to your production environment.

What You Need

Shrink Time with a Twist

Meeting SLAs is an ongoing challenge, especially in diverse areas like business continuity, patch management, and IT migration.


Consider and evaluate any solution that delivers on multiple requirements.


Simple, fast, and effective recovery management

Your recovery solution delivers fast RTOs and low RPOs in a streamlined way so you can execute your DR plan simply with minimal overhead.

Efficient workload mobility—safe and at scale

Shorten implementation time for IT modernization and consolidation projects with a solution that can handle the size of your environment and protect your workloads during a move.

Accelerated, trusted patch management workflow

Your team responds quickly to security team requests to patch systems or applications by creating on-demand, high-fidelity replicas of your environment for testing and validation.

“The service levels we are delivering to the business we never thought would be possible. It really helps me sleep at night. I know the application will be available in five minutes.”

Kevin Jackson, Senior Administrator, Hapo Community Credit Union

“And in terms of our RTO, recovering and validating the system has gone from between hours and days, to now happening in a matter of 30 minutes to a few hours. It has helped reduce downtime by days.”

IT Analyst, Wholesaler/Distributor

“The CDP allows to switch to an alternate location if weather concerns are an issue. Also the ability to role back individual servers is fantastic. The RTOs and RPOs are incredible. The tools give us the ability to recover a file or a database the has been corrupted. With journaling we are able to role back from a few minutes to days.”

IT Director, Government

Fast, Streamlined Recovery

Zerto orchestration and automation capabilities enable organizations to recover effectively from any disruption with the lowest RPOs and fastest RTOs in the industry

Continuous Data Protection (CDP)

Zerto always-on, hypervisor-based replication protects your data and generates a continuous stream of recovery checkpoints from the journal.

Orchestration and automation

Recover entire sites, applications, VMs, folders, and files in just a few clicks. Simply select a checkpoint and let simple, automated Zerto workflows do the rest.

On-premises, to the cloud, within the cloud, as a service

Use Zerto no matter how you implement your DR plan: DR on premises in your data center, leveraging the public cloud—AWS or Azure—for your cloud DR or in-cloud DR, or through an MSP for DRaaS.

What Zerto Offers You

On-demand Cloning for Testing

Easily spin up your environment or applications to create self-serve, high-fidelity clones for testing and validating security patches or software and application upgrades.

On-demand sandbox environments

Just four clicks produce a clone against seconds-old, true copies of production in an isolated sandbox.

No impact on production

Because testing occurs in its own sandbox, it’s available at any time and has no impact on replication or protection status.

Easy post-test cleanup

Easily dispose of any data generated during a test.

“Overall, the product has worked very well for us. We us it to replicate from our production site to our DR site. We also use the ability to spin servers up in a test "bubble" to perform various upgrade test to see the impact before we put them into production.”

Server Administrator, IT Services Industry



“We see the biggest ROI from Zerto's real-time test environment. If we want to do a proof of concept on a hundred servers, we can spin them up within a few hours and have them ready to start testing stuff with real data to see how that might look if we were to deploy that into production. It's an excellent, accurate test environment that we don't need to maintain.”

Sr Systems Engineer, Construction company

“ Zerto enables us to set the IPs and map everything out in our environment prior to migration. We can create VPGs and mass migrate applications, databases, and web clients. That was the selling point for us.”

Server Administrator, Government



“ The auto-connect feature is valuable because we can set the amount of time that we delay before committing a move from one location to another, giving application teams time to validate that the move went well and everything is working before we commit those changes. That gives us the ability to roll back to the same point we were at before we shut things down, if needed.”

Senior Analyst, IS Infrastructure,

Energy/Utilities company



“ In the old days, during data center swaps, it used to take days to move our workload environments over, whereas now, it literally takes an hour for hundreds of servers to migrate. Literally, in under a minute, an app stack can move down and up in a new data center. It is reflected in the uptime support to our customers. Our company is very happy with the product.”

Engineer, Financial Services firm
