Zerto Virtual Replication for Microsoft Hyper-V
Zerto Virtual Replication is the first hypervisor-based replication solution between different hypervisors. With the revolutionary ability to automatically convert Hyper-V VMs to VMware and VMware VMs to Hyper-V on the fly, Zerto enables you to replicate from remote Hyper-V office instances to the VMware master datacenter, seamlessly migrate workloads between hypervisors, or even the ability to replicate virtual machines from the VMware primary datacenter to the backup Hyper-V datacenter. for disaster recovery.
Zerto Virtual Replication offers RPO (Recovery Point Objective) in seconds and sequential recovery points for multiple virtual machines and production applications. Some additional features of Zerto Virtual Replication for Microsoft Hyper-V include:
- Storage-independent replication – any storage can be used as a source or target
- Hypervisor-independent replication — Hyper-V on Hyper-V, vSphere on Hyper-V, and Hyper-V on vSphere
- No Snapshots – Zerto Virtual Replication uses continuous data protection to minimize impact on the production environment
- Automated orchestration of disaster recovery processes for application consistency
- Simple and easy-to-use management interface for KPIs and reporting
Adding Microsoft Hyper-V to Zerto Virtual Replication’s list of supported hypervisors is the first step in implementing Zerto’s cloud technology introduced earlier this year. This technology allows enterprises to use any type of load on any hypervisor or any cloud, regardless of the underlying infrastructure – taking the lead in industry in moving, managing and protecting production workloads in the hybrid cloud.
Remote backup
Zerto Offsite Backup increases the usefulness of Hyper-V data that is replicated for BC/DR purposes. Just as with VMware, backups with Zerto do not require a duplicate infrastructure backup, significantly reducing storage costs for your production environment. The backup solution provided by Zerto extends the log to offer continuous data protection for up to 5 days, keeping copies of the data daily, weekly and monthly.
Remote backup of virtual machines (VMs) and their data is a key part of a complete BC/DR solution, as they are the last line of defense in protecting the business in the event of a natural disaster. With a third copy of the data stored off-site, no matter what happens to the primary site, local server backups, data replications, or even the recovery site, a business always has the option to recover.
