Zerto

Software DR: continuous replication (CDP) and restore in minutes — with an RPO of seconds, for the environments that can't lose anything.

FOCUS · DR IN SECONDSJournal-based recovery: you go back to THAT moment — 8 seconds before the ransomware

01 · What it is

Zerto, made clear.

Zerto replicates continuously (CDP): every write travels to the recovery site and ends up in a journal keeping days of restore points at SECOND granularity. Does the disaster (or the ransomware) have a time? You restart the environment as it was a moment before — an RPO of seconds, an RTO of minutes, the failover orchestrated and testable without impact.

continuous replication, not scheduled: the RPO is measured in seconds

02 · How to use it well

The things that make the difference.

The mechanism

The mission-critical appswhat can't lose anything
VRA · continuous replication
Journal
VPG · consistent groups
the flow · the history · the whole
Failover & failback orchestratedoutbound and return, written down
Site B (or cloud)the destination ready
Time rewound, the whole application

VPGs per application

The VMs grouped by application consistency: the ERP restarts whole, not in pieces.

Ransomware with a rewind

The fine-grained journal finds the instant before the encryption: the ransom loses its market.

Quarterly tests in a bubble

The failover rehearsed without impact: the fresh evidence for audits and insurers.

Zerto + Veeam together

CDP on the critical, backup on everything: the two tools in the right place — we orchestrate them.

03 · In depth

CDP: the journal that rewinds time

Zerto does continuous data protection: the Virtual Replication Appliances intercept every write and ship it to the replication site (an RPO of seconds, without snapshots: zero impact on production), the journal keeps every point of the last 1-30 days (you rewind to the second before the fault or the encryption), the Virtual Protection Groups keep the multi-VM apps consistent (the ERP with its DB), the failover gets rehearsed without stopping anything; the ransomware recovery picks the clean point with the integrated detection.

  • CDP — every write replicated: the RPO is measured in seconds
  • Journal — 1-30 days of per-second points: you go back to 'before the damage'
  • VPG — the multi-VM app consistent: the ERP and the DB together
  • Zero-impact tests — the failover rehearsed by day: the evidence without risk
  • No snapshot — zero stun on the VMs: production doesn't notice
  • Multi-target — vSphere, Hyper-V, Azure, AWS: the DR where it pays

05 · Use cases

Where it really pays off.

Near-zero RPO

The systems where every lost minute is money.

Cyber recovery

The rewind to before the attack, in minutes.

Migrations without downtime

The continuous replication that becomes the cutover.

When 'last night' isn't an acceptable RPO: Zerto goes back to eight seconds ago — configured by us.
