From backup and DR for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (Amazon EKS), DR across AWS Regions or Availability Zones, and backup capabilities for AWS focused on cost optimization and security to safeguard companies from malicious intent.

The company’s backup and DR for Amazon EKS is an offering that integrates backup and DR into the application deployment lifecycle for Amazon EKS. Organizations can now protect, recover, and move any Kubernetes application and its persistent data for a native, data protection as code experience.

In addition, the firm offers DR across AWS Regions and Availability Zones, at scale. This offering is designed to protect large scale native AWS applications for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) data. Today, organizations hit limits when trying to replicate thousands of instances across AWS Regions. This challenge results in increased RPOs and RTOs. The company‘s approach for in-cloud replication will solve this issue by utilizing techniques which improve volume replication concurrency across regions, utilization of data APIs which reduce reads and writes and optimization of the overall orchestration workflows to allow for low RPOs and RTOs of minutes without use of agents.

Available in beta, the Zerto Platform delivers DR capabilities that are simple to deploy, easy to use, and automates the orchestration of failover and failover testing across AWS Regions and Availability Zones. Customers with production applications running in AWS, such as SAP or Oracle, can failover between AWS Regions or Availability Zones and be assured that the application is maintained in a consistent manner and recovered as one consistent entity.

Also announced on the first day of ZertoCON, Zerto 9.0 introduces backup capabilities for AWS focused on cost optimization and security that include cloud tiering into Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) Glacier for cost-effective storage and immutability for backups to AWS. Immutability safeguards cloud backups from malicious deletion or encryption of data through ransomware.

“The availability of CDP for AWS workloads is an important step for organizations who want to safeguard their data wherever it is used across this market-leading set of cloud services,” commented Gil Levonai, CMO and SVP, product,. “In doing so, Zerto and AWS customers can build cloud-native solutions and infrastructure, underpinned by a single solution that delivers data protection, recovery, and migration of data to and across AWS.“

ZertoCON 2021 Virtual is focused on enabling organizations to ‘Unlock Continuous Cloud Protection’ across DR, backup, and cloud migrations to easily accelerate their cloud journey. This year’s event will help attendees understand how to simplify management and protection of cloud workloads, all while quickly recovering from ransomware attacks and other disruptions that could impact data and cause downtime.
