What it is
Zerto replicates continuously instead of on a schedule. Writes are captured as they happen and shipped to the recovery site, so what you lose in a failure is measured in seconds.
HPE files it under continuous data protection. Backup and snapshots are still needed alongside it.
What it is for
Three use cases that share the same mechanism. Disaster recovery, where a site or a platform is lost. Ransomware recovery to the last moment before the data was encrypted. And migration, where workloads move between platforms, on-premises or cloud, while they keep running.
Failover testing
Failover can be tested without interrupting anything. That is why we build on Zerto for the recovery plans we sign our name to.
What changed
Zerto was an independent company and is HPE’s now, sold as HPE Zerto Software. The technology has stayed the same. Your contract is now with HPE, and you should check it before the next renewal.
