Hypervisor-Based Replication
A-to-Zerto Glossary of Terms
What Is Hypervisor-Based Replication ?
A hypervisor is a software-based operating platform that hosts and runs virtual machines and their virtual disks. Hypervisor-based replication is software that is integrated directly with hypervisor software to replicate virtual machines and virtual disks to another hypervisor or other storage location.

How Does Hypervisor-Based Replication Work?
Virtualization offers extraordinary capabilities and benefits, but your organization can’t fully embrace them unless—or until—other technologies evolve to enable them. Managing a virtual or hybrid environment while using older replication technologies that use snapshots or storage-layer backup makes it harder to fully leverage the benefits of virtualization and inhibits the move to the cloud.
Hypervisor-based replication like Zerto can monitor changes to virtual machines and virtual disks to provides continuous, journal-based replication with zero impact on application performance. Hypervisor-based replication is also fully agnostic to storage types at the source and destination, natively supporting all storage platforms and the full breadth of capabilities made possible by virtualization. And it integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure.
