AWS re:Invent: Availability of Zerto In-Cloud for AWS Cloud-Native DR for Amazon EC2

Zerto Ltd., a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, has announced the availability of Zerto In-Cloud for AWS (Amazon Web Services, Inc.), a cloud-native, software offering of the company’s platform that delivers DR for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), scaling to protect 1,000+ instances across regions, availability zones, and accounts.

Unveiled at AWS re:Invent 2021, Zerto In-Cloud for AWS brings reliability and speed to the protection of enterprise AWS applications with simple automated workflows for failover, recovery, and testing.

Organizations that run workloads in Amazon EC2 instances need to protect them with a simple and scalable DR solution. The challenge with available solutions is that they are either agent-based, require heavy manual configuration and management, are limited in regional coverage, or do not easily integrate with automation tools. As such, these solutions do not allow for protection and recovery at scale or speed.

To address these challenges, the company is expanding its DR capabilities to Amazon EC2 instances that need protection across AWS regions and availability zones. The firm’s approach for in-cloud replication solves the scaling issue with orchestration and automation without requiring agents. Zerto In-Cloud for AWS improves volume replication at scale across regions and zones, and optimizes orchestration workflows to achieve minimal data loss and rapid recovery to achieve your RPO and RTO. Zerto In-Cloud for AWS brings a scalable, and cloud-native DR to AWS workloads that are born in the cloud or migrated into the cloud.

The company’s breadth of capabilities includes migration, DR, and backup to AWS as well as protection of Amazon EC2 workloads to on-premises environments. The Zerto In-Cloud for AWS offering complements these capabilities by introducing a resilient, highly scalable, cloud-native architecture for in-cloud DR. API-centric management allows Zerto In-Cloud for AWS to be integrated into a user’s automation solution of choice to streamline workload protection as part of an overall data management strategy. The firm provides one platform and one experience for DR, backup, and mobility to, from, and between AWS workloads, whether that’s for VMs or containers.

Additional key capabilities of Zerto In-Cloud for AWS include:

• Automated failover testing: Zerto In-Cloud for AWS automation and orchestration allows for non-disruptive failover testing of all instances in an AWS region or availability zone to validate recovery plans and ensure you are ready when an outage of disaster strikes.

• Application protection: Protect and recover large complex applications like SAP or Oracle. Zerto In-Cloud for AWS orchestration enables protection groups across multiple instances in AWS.

• Stateless management: The Zerto In-Cloud for AWS management components can be run from any Amazon EC2 region and can be protected region to region to be resilient vs. any regional outage.

“For years, Zerto has been the industry-leading DR platform for protecting on-premises VMs to AWS, and with the availability of Zerto In-Cloud for AWS, Amazon EC2 users can now quickly recover their workloads across different AWS regions after any disruptions, including ransomware attacks,” said Ziv Kedem, VP and GM, Zerto. “We bring the Zerto simplicity at scale to this user community. By delivering easy DR orchestration at scale, organizations can build DR strategies to protect their mission-critical applications running on EC2.“

Zerto In-Cloud for AWS will be available on the AWS Marketplace in early 2022.
