Zerto – Comparison with Veeam Replication

Zerto – Comparison with Veeam Replication

Benefits of Using Zerto Virtual Replication 

Zerto Virtual Replication is the industry’s first IT Resilience platform to provide a single solution for disaster recovery, data protection and workload mobility, across multiple clouds. By combining continuous replication, automated orchestration, and enterprise-class scalability, the Zerto platform greatly simplifies IT operations and increases business agility.

Veeam is primarily a backup solution that can also be used to create backups of virtual machines in a site
Recoveries that can be used for disaster recovery. Replication is performed on a schedule using performance-impact snapshots, both at the VM and storage levels, for supported providers, with snapshots on replica VMs for point-in-time recovery. This limits the scalability and frequency of replica updates, data retention, and makes it more difficult to recover applications with multiple virtual machines.

Zerto Virtual Replication permanently replaces Veeam for replication

“The detail of ZVR is incredibly valuable to our organization. With Zerto we can restore one or more virtual machines, because the situation is simple and most importantly, fast. The recovery process took 9 hours, required several people, and we lost at least one hour of valuable data. With ZVR, we only needed one person and in 15 minutes we were operational and recovered the data in a few seconds” (Senior Analyst, ABN AMRO)

Monitor and replicate changes at the block level of virtual machines in the hypervisor without snapshots or impact. By using consistency groups across multiple virtual machines, Zerto provides seamless protection and recovery for enterprise applications. Existing Veeam customers can install Zerto in minutes and protect virtual machines with Veeam backup jobs and Zerto real-time replication.
