Managed Services Provider Assured Data Protection (Assured), has a new disaster recovery (DR) service powered by Zerto, an HPE company. The solution is designed for organisations running diverse hypervisor environments that need highly aggressive recovery point and recovery time objectives (RPO/RTO), regardless of their underlying compute or storage hardware.
The new service uses Zerto’s host-based replication technology to extend Assured’s DR portfolio, enabling customers to maintain their VMware and other hypervisor environments while achieving best-in-class recovery performance.
The solution gives organisations flexibility, supporting short- or long-term VMware commitments, and a straightforward migration path, should organisations wish to migrate hypervisors like AHV by Nutanix.
The service ensures every application gets the right level of protection at the right cost, delivering recovery that fits real-world business priorities. Many enterprises are reevaluating their long-term commitment to VMware following Broadcom’s acquisition, as rising licensing fees and changes to support models drive organisations to explore alternative platforms.
Tony Giannini, Vice President, Global Innovation, Assured Data Protection, stated:
“Many enterprises still have 12–36 months left on VMware contracts but need a robust DR solution now. Our partnership with Zerto enables us to provide ultra-low RPOs and RTOs for critical applications, independent of hardware, and with the flexibility to transition to Nutanix whenever customers choose. Just as importantly, Assured can customize protection levels by application, so customers aren’t paying highest-common-denominator prices across the board. This is the perfect compliment to our Rubrik Cyber-Resilience solutions to ensure an organization is resilient against cyber, natural, and other disasters.”
The new service delivers immediate resilience for multi-hypervisor environments inclusive of VMware. Zerto is completely independent of the customer’s compute or storage mix and ensures the right protection at the right price by grouping applications according to business criticality, delivering aggressive RPOs and RTOs where needed while offering more cost-efficient tiers elsewhere to align recovery with total cost of ownership.
Michael Lebo, Global Zerto MSP Leader, comments “By combining HPE Zerto Software host-based replication technology with Assured’s managed service expertise, customers gain a proven, scalable foundation for modern disaster recovery.”
