Why DRaaS? Implementing a disaster recovery (DR) solution can be a complex task for an organization that is new to the process. Obtaining the expertise, finding a suitable DR site, choosing the right DR solution, formulating an effective DR strategy, and testing DR plans can be overwhelming and lead organizations to implement less-than-ideal DR plans […]
So far, we have covered installing a Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) and deploying Virtual Replication Appliances (VRAs). If you missed it check out: Step 1 – Installing a ZVM Step 2 – Deploying VRAs The third step is to deploy a Zerto Cloud Appliance (ZCA). You only need to complete this step if you want […]
In the first 3 blog posts we covered installing a Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM), deploying Virtual Replication Appliances (VRAs) and installing a Zerto Cloud Appliance (ZCA) if you need to replicate to AWS or Azure. If you missed these steps check them out below: Step 1 – Installing a ZVM Step 2 – Deploying VRAs […]
In the first blog post we covered installing a Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM), if you missed it check it out here: Installing Zerto’s Virtual Replication in Minutes – Step 1 The second step is to deploy the Virtual Replication Appliances (VRAs) onto each ESXi or Hyper-V host that you are going to replicate VMs from […]
Airlines, take notes from GitLab. This is how you do a disaster. We’ve been saying this for years, disasters are gonna happen. Not a week goes by without news of some airline outage, ransomware taking down a hospital or power failure taking down a major website. This week saw (at least) two. Delta’s outage and GitLab’s […]
The CIO at a law firm has a great responsibility to the partners and the business. One of their primary tasks is to ensure that the lawyers have access to the critically important information they need to write briefs, motions, and close out cases — all the while maximizing billable hours. Standing in their way […]
On Alton Brown’s cooking show, he used to abhor a unitasker – a tool used for only one thing. They clutter the cabinets and are useful only in the rare instance that you need to slice an egg or store half an onion. Similarly, a unitasking product in tech is annoying. They clutter your IT […]
By Keith Taylor, Technology Evangelist at Zerto Your disaster recovery plan consists of more than just how you’re going to recover your systems and applications. All too often, it can be easy to overlook these seemingly less significant preparations as the focus tends to be on ensuring there is a solution, or combination of solutions, […]
By Joshua Stenhouse, Technology Evangelist at Zerto When using synchronous replication, a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of zero only applies to disk writes and only if the disaster requires recovery to the most recent point in time. An RPO of zero on disk writes does not capture any transactions in-flight such as those in the memory of […]
By Harry Smith, Technology Evangelist at Zerto DRaaS – Disaster Recovery as a Service – is a pretty well-known term in the industry now, but do you know how to get started leveraging it? Let’s discuss some of the common questions in regards to DRaaS, as well the differences between managed and public cloud options. […]
How Two Days of Paper Record-Keeping Was Enough to Drive a Community Hospital to Search for a Better Business Continuity Solution By Rob Strechay, Vice President of Product, Zerto Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BC/DR) strategy is often little thought of until a forcing function—be it natural or man-made—puts a renewed focus on this mission-critical […]
When evaluating different BC/DR solutions one important feature that users often look for is point in time recovery. The ability to recover to previous points in time is crucial in being able to recover from not only data center-wide issues, such as power loss or hardware failure, but logical failures, such as a database corruption, […]
As we wake up from the hangover of #ZertoCON, we are thrilled at the amount of positive feedback we are seeing all over. Again we would like to thank all the speakers, sponsors, partners and participants that made the inaugural ZertoCON an event to remember. A lot of exciting things went on during the conference; […]
What Is DRaaS? Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is one deployment method for disaster recovery. It used to involve bringing a datacenter to you on the back of a large truck and uploading your data to it. Old-fashioned as that sounds, this cumbersome and time-consuming process was once the gold standard for disaster recovery […]
Data Everywhere Business continuity is an area of increasing complexity in the current multi-cloud IT paradigm. In the old days, we used backups to protect against ‘localized’, limited-impact data loss, like a single system crash, and small-scale data loss. On the other hand, disaster recovery is a set of plans and technical capabilities that help […]
