Zerto Announces Advanced Analytics and Data Protection Capabilities for Backup and Cloud

The Zerto IT Resilience Platform leverages Microsoft Azure Data Box Edge, to deliver a fast, scalable hybrid cloud solution for its on-premises backup capabilities

Zerto, an industry leader for IT resilience, has announced Zerto 6.5 which continues to build out the Zerto IT Resilience Platform. This release further accelerates cloud adoption, lays a foundation for backup capabilities within the platform and provides deeper analytics insight across all clouds. These enhancements are tightly integrated with the growing Microsoft Azure storage solution portfolio. This provides data protection at scale, simplified enterprise application mobility, and fast migration.

Zerto 6.5 will take advantage of newly announced Microsoft Azure Data Box Edge to deliver a fast, scalable hybrid cloud solution for its on-premises backup capabilities. Zerto 6.5 integrates with Data Box Edge using standard storage protocols. The combined solution will enable fast local storage access and unlimited storage offload to Azure.

“Recent research conducted by IDC and Zerto found that 90% of respondents plan to use the cloud for data protection within the next 12 months. Almost half of these same respondents are also looking to modernize their backup solution in that same timeframe,” said Ziv Kedem, CEO, Zerto. “This tells us that their legacy backup solutions are not equipped to meet the business and IT resilience needs of organizations who are in the midst of a digital transformation journey and looking to fully embrace the cloud. Zerto 6.5 will enable enterprises to simplify IT with one platform to replace backup, disaster recovery, and cloud mobility solutions.

Accelerating Cloud Adoption

Customers are demanding the control and flexibility to strategically combine cloud and data protection strategies. Building upon the introduction of support for multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments with mobility to, from and between multiple clouds and on-premises, Zerto 6.5 introduces new key features to achieve this in an efficient, cost-effective way.

Zerto 6.5 includes features that will accelerate this adoption, specifically:

  • Expanding the Cloud Control Panel
  • Enhancing recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives
  • Supporting Microsoft Azure Premium SSD Managed Disk

Zerto’s integration with Microsoft Azure Premium SSD Managed Disks enables customers to run enterprise-class intensive workloads on Azure during live and test failover events. With support for Azure Premium SSD Managed Disk, Zerto lays the foundation to support newly announced Azure Ultra SSD Managed Disks which will deliver sub-millisecond latencies to mission-critical workloads traditionally only available on-premises.

“Our airline headquarters, based in Miramar, Florida, and more than 15,000 Spirit team members are responsible for safely moving our guests on more than 400 flights a day to 60 destinations. IT is a major component of making it all work, and with our complex and growing data center environments, protecting our IT applications and services from myriad complex risks, including South Florida’s unpredictable weather is a top priority,” said James Nolin, senior director of IT, Spirit Airlines. “Application mobility to and from the cloud is a critical part of our resilience strategy and Zerto’s tight integration with Microsoft Azure enables replication to Azure Premium SSD Managed Disk quickly and at scale. These advanced capabilities give us the protection, readiness, and assurance needed to continue business-critical operations even in the face of hurricanes that can threaten our data centers.”

Foundation of Backup

Zerto 6.5 introduces foundational enhancements to the backup capabilities in the IT Resilience Platform, including:

  • Incremental backups that reduces the amount of data to be written, time to write backups and storage capacity required
  • Scale-out backup and restore capabilities
  • Enhanced journal file-level recovery support for Linux
  • Support for Data Box Edge using standard storage protocols

These features enable organizations to move away from legacy backup technology towards a comprehensive IT resilience strategy.

Deep Analytics Functionality

As part of the ongoing journey to true IT resilience, organizations need to continually evaluate results in order to ensure quality and performance. With expanded intelligent dashboards, 6.5 provides organizations with deeper insight and a 90-day history on the health and compliance of protected multi-site, multi-cloud environments. The rich analytics content will provide:

  • Data for quarterly reports, including SLA compliance
  • Troubleshooting of monthly data anomalies
  • Enhanced data about VMs including journal size, throughput, IOPS, and WAN
  • Cloud Service Provider Client Organizational Filter with enhanced visibility to create customer reports and automatically deliver real-time analysis to clients

“Zerto can help support customer’s journey to Microsoft Azure. With Azure Premium SSD Managed Disk support shipping in Zerto 6.5, our joint customers have additional options for high-end application workloads for disaster recovery in and migration to Azure,” said Tad Brockway, general manager, Azure Storage, Microsoft Corp.
