Zerto unveils business continuity solution

data recovery process into a cloud service, reports eWeek.

The fledgling company unveiled itself and its new product, Zerto Virtual Replication, on 15 August. It also revealed on the same day that it has landed $15 million in Series B funding from US Venture Partners.

Zerto Virtual Replication is hypervisor-based remote replication that stands apart from other disaster recovery packages, CEO and founder Ziv Kedem says, because it is purpose-built for Tier 1 applications and is deployed on a virtual infrastructure.

According to TMCnet, it was revealed that the shifting of the replication to the hypervisor helps companies to benefit from virtualisation such as flexibility, mobility and scalability in their disaster recovery solutions.

Previously the most common replication technologies for business continuity and disaster recovery were based on the physical environment and were not optimised for virtual environments. This resulted in several operational and organisational challenges.
