Traditional, array-based DR solutions were not designed to handle application replication from virtual environments. Zerto has addressed this issue with a software-only, hypervisor-based and array agnostic solution that allows replication from any source to any target. "Zerto has addressed all of the shortcomings inherent in replicating data from VMs via array-based technology. Their product offers true, real-time replication with near zero RTO and RPO," said Grigoriy Milis, Chief Technology Officer of RFA.
"As more and more technology becomes virtualized, the need to replicate these virtual hosts and applications for disaster recovery and business continuity purposes becomes increasingly important. RFA is committed to providing constant guidance on available technologies to make sure that our clients' businesses stay protected and competitive," added Richard Fleischman, President and Founder of RFA. "Our partnership with Zerto is a perfect example of this commitment."
"In today's virtualized technology environment, the need for real-time data replication is essential to keeping businesses up and running in the face of any disaster from a category 4 hurricane to an ordinary local power failure," added Ziv Kedem, Co-Founder and CEO of Zerto. "We're happy to be working with RFA, providing their clients with cutting edge technology to facilitate the alignment of Data Protection programs with IT strategies."
RFA has provided best-in-class disaster recovery solutions to clients since 1990. Their Safe Harbor offering provides real-time data replication to safeguard clients' information in the event of any disaster, small or large. RFA offers both dedicated and hosted DR platforms to fit individual client needs. The partnership between Zerto and RFA allows for a more robust management of replication and recovery for virtual environments. Since Zerto's product is software-only and hardware agnostic it also reduces hardware costs and vendor dependencies.
