Digital Transformation and IT Modernization with Zerto

How Zerto Can Help You to

Support Digital Transformation and

IT Modernization

CHALLENGE

Extended Data Protection and Business Continuity

Cloud adoption is essential for organizations implementing digital transformation. But it also means that for each new service or product, you bring to life, you need to ensure they are continuously available to your customers and users.

So, while there are numerous benefits to leveraging cloud computing architecture, it also means IT infrastructures require novel and/or upgraded capabilities for their management and protection.

Managing Complexity

If your business was not created in the cloud, you most likely have legacy IT and on-prem workloads to manage. If your business is cloud-native, it is very likely that you either use more than one cloud or are considering using more than one for risk management purposes. All these options have a level of complexity that must be managed effectively.

Supporting Diverse Environments and Models at Scale

You may be dealing with a mix of on-premises and cloud workloads, spanning public and private clouds. Your data protection strategy and capabilities must be comprehensive and cover on-prem, hybrid cloud, in-cloud, and even multi-cloud models. To account for this, your data protection must be able scale to match your needs.

Avoiding Lock-ins

As with most businesses, your organization must consider risk management through several lenses. From a financial and strategic standpoint, you don’t want to be dependent on only one cloud provider, technology, or vendor. From an operational perspective, you may want to diversify your deployments to create some redundancies. It’s always a balancing act as more security often translates into more complexity.

Fast Recovery Capabilities

When new services or products emerge from your digital transformation and IT innovation initiatives, they become a part of your business and business continuity plan. These revenue-generating products and services carry an expected quality for service and user experience. To meet these expectations, proper recovery capabilities must be in place to lower downtime, minimize data loss, and maintain the continuity of operations.

What You Need

Data Protection and Recovery Solution Ready for Anything

The range of challenges inherent to digital transformation and IT modernization is significant. Solutions that can address multiple challenges at once should be considered, as they may benefit your organization’s operation, procurement, and overall costs.


In this case, you would need a data protection and recovery solution that can deliver the following:

Fast Recovery with Minimal Data Loss

This is the primary attribute for ensuring overall business continuity. Restoring operations with minimal downtime and data loss after any type of disruption—natural or man-made—is paramount. The ability to do it effectively and efficiently can make a good solution into something great.

Effortless Scalability

It’s normal for the new services or products you produce to start small but grow with success. In these cases, as you scale your infrastructure to meet growing demand, you want your data protection and recovery capabilities to scale at the same pace and without hassle.

Deployment and Implementation Flexibility

You want your data protection and recovery capabilities to adapt to your infrastructure and cover more than one type of environment or implementation. Stay away from specialized solutions that feature many caveats and exceptions.

Simplification

Many new data protection and recovery solutions come with dedicated learning curves, complexities, unique requirements, and maintenance tasks. Instead, look for solutions that deliver ease of use to your staff, require minimal training, and free up time with automation.

Multi-Cloud

If your strategy requires that you place your production and recovery sites on different cloud platforms, or if you want to have recovery sites on more than one cloud provider, Zerto can meet your needs.

SaaS Protection for Cloud-based Applications

Many SaaS applications have a shared responsibility model which delegates the protection of your SaaS data to your team. With Zerto Backup for SaaS, powered by Keepit, get scalable backup and recovery of SaaS data in seconds and ease your team’s workload.

What Zerto Offers You

Easy-to-Manage Scale-Out Architecture

Because Zerto’s continuous data protection is software based with no guest-host requirements, agents, or an additional hardware footprint, it can be deployed and managed easily, no matter how fast the infrastructure expands.

Scale-Out Replication

Virtual replication appliances (VRAs) are purpose-built software appliances installed on the physical hosts that replicate the data from protected entities to their target. As more hosts are added, VRAs are automatically deployed, scaling protection without hassle. In public cloud environments, Zerto scales replication using a cloud-native scale-out architecture.

Automatic VM Protection

Automatic VM protection ensures complete, flexible data protection across your environment when you add new VMs.

Native Support for All Storage Technologies

Hypervisor-based replication is hardware agnostic and does not matter the underlying storage array, giving you the ability to replicate from anything to anything, and mix storage technologies.

Seamless Installation

Carefully architected application configurations don’t need to be changed in any way. IT administrators don’t have to modify their approach to get Zerto up and running.
