How Zerto Can Help You to

Keep Operations Running

Staying Ahead of the Curve

Gaining and maintaining visibility over the performance and protection of your applications, systems, and infrastructure is essential for spotting potential issues. Knowing whether you need to grow or adjust your infrastructure helps you to plan effectively and avoid creating disruptions.

In addition to proactive and preemptive actions, your team must be ready to face any sudden, challenging situation that threatens the continuity of operations.


Making the most out of your visibility capabilities

Many solutions and tools deliver some kind of visibility, but fragmentation often makes it difficult to manage and comprehend. Automation can help by pairing metrics monitoring with alert triggering. Other tools may be embedded in defined processes such as audits aimed at identifying unprotected systems.

Leveraging information from your current environment to estimate future needs is another way for you to stay ahead. Your challenge is to find the least tools to cover the most needs.

Achieving readiness through frequent training

Like firefighters, your team never knows exactly what situation they will encounter. Frequent training builds their ability to respond effectively to stressful situations and acquire automatic reflexes for managing critical disruptions. It’s essential to test your DR plan frequently without having to block evenings and weekends for planning and execution. Your readiness depends on repetition to learn and refine your response, runbooks, and more.

What You Need

Multi-Faceted Solution for Visibility and Readiness

One tool should meet several of your visibility and readiness needs, whether it’s a dedicated instrument or a solution that serves other purposes.

Active KPI monitoring

Set thresholds for KPIs that trigger alerts to other systems or administrators when out of bounds.

Auditing your environment

Identify devices and systems not meeting specific criteria across your environments (on-premises and cloud).

Recovery testing and reporting

Run frequent tests any time with minimal preparation. Get post-test reports to document recovery performance.

Planning and forecasting

Easily assess future IT needs based on current resources to create the right plan and justify budget and other resources.

What Zerto Offers You

Visibility Through Zerto Analytics

Available as a free Zerto add-on, Zerto Analytics provides you with multiple visibility capabilities.

RPO monitoring

Get historical data for RPOs and use it to set thresholds for real-time monitoring and trigger alerts when your RPOs go out of bounds.

Identifying unprotected VMs/workloads

Easily identify unprotected VMs and workloads across your environments (on-premises and cloud) in a single UI and take action to protect them.

Zerto Planner

To protect new VMs and workloads, Zerto Planner—a part of Zerto Analytics—helps you determine bandwidth requirements and more based on your DR implementation (on-premises and cloud).

Analytics in Action

"The most valuable features for us are the analytics and reporting. Being able to see a snapshot of our environment, and knowing where we stand in our recovery atmosphere using Zerto, are really valuable aspects"

IT Analyst, Wholesaler/Distributor

“They have an intelligent, predictive infrastructure, so I can just pretty much determine the required compute storage and other server networking resources, whether it is on-premises or in the cloud.”

Sr. Data Scientist, Tech Vendor

“Zerto provides real-time analytics and monitoring, enabling our organization to quickly identify and resolve issues.”

IT Supervisor, Consultancy

“Before, the testing would take an entire weekend and multiple departments in order to complete it. Now we're finishing our testing in a matter of hours"

Ryan Schader, Senior System Engineer, Financial Services firm

“Zerto has helped to reduce our organization's DR testing. We can create failover tests seamlessly, and we can do this routinely. We are able to save time and look at how we can discern between RTO and RPO.”

Sr. Data Scientist, Tech Vendor

“ Zerto is great at DR testing. We can spin off critical VMs or an entire environment pretty quickly and have users test against this copy with no production environment impact.”

Giovanni Golinelli, Hybrid IT Architect, Quanture Spa

What Zerto Offers You

Readiness with Nondisruptive Testing

Stop thinking of failover testing as a coordinated, multi-team, time-consuming operation. Instead, you can leverage Zerto for a simplified, automated disaster recovery testing solution.

Simple, automated failover testing

With just a few clicks, run a failover simulation for your entire data center or a single application. Customize your test using APIs and empower any team member to run it safely and confidently.

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.

Powerful post-test operations

Easily dispose of data generated during a test and produce failover test reports that can be used for compliance auditing.
