Zerto Partners with IBM to Provide Data Protection for IBM’s Resiliency Orchestration DRaaS Solution

LAS VEGAS, March 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zerto, an industry leader for IT Resilience, today announced at IBM Think 2018 that it is partnering with IBM Services to provide the replication engine behind IBM’s unique resiliency orchestration solution. Specifically, Zerto IT Resilience Platform™ will be available to IBM customers through the IBM Resiliency Orchestration DRaaS solution for simplified, rapid recovery of virtual infrastructure.

IBM’s Resiliency Orchestration DRaaS Solution stands as a unique offering to help organizations recover all of their virtual and physical workloads, whether running on an IBM mainframe, IBM Power AIX, IBM System I, SUN Solaris or HP-UX system, and to ensure coordinated application recovery throughout. This is significant, as the offering automates the workflow of disaster recovery for a customer’s complete heterogeneous environment to provide a more predictable, simplified and always-on operation that leads to reduced risk, cost, testing and recovery time.

IBM Resiliency Orchestration is for disaster recovery and cyber resiliency, and is available on customer premises, IBM Cloud and IBM resiliency data centers. It is available as both software and a managed service. The offering has the capability to include Zerto’s replication technology, the complete VMware stack and the end-to-end IBM managed services using IBM’s Resiliency Orchestration tool, all in a single dashboard.

The IBM Resiliency Orchestration solution, with replication technology by Zerto, aims to:

• Simplify disaster recovery operations
• Ensure disaster recovery readiness on-premise and/or across multiple clouds
• Reduce complexity and risk
• Save time with smarter automation
• Improve reporting and BCDR testing across systems
• Enable a lifecycle approach to recovery
