Zerto Expands RapidScale Partnership, Powers New Hosting DRaaS Solution

PRESS RELEASE — IRVINE, CA: July 26^th, 2016 — RapidScale, a global managed cloud services provider, has expanded its current partnership with enterprise-class disaster recovery and business continuity software provider, Zerto. RapidScale has offered Zerto Virtual Replication as its preferred BC/DR software for customers that need seamless and dependable disaster recovery capabilities. RapidScale’s Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), CloudRecovery, relies on Zerto’s award-winning software that enables continuous data replication and recovery designed specifically for virtualized infrastructure.

RapidScale has recently expanded its partnership with Zerto to offer a more complete solution. RapidScale’s CloudRecovery customers now have the option to select Zerto to be the underlying technology for their continuous availability solution. Further, RapidScale has integrated this offering into its easy-to-use customer portal. This allows customers to have a complete view of their IaaS, DRaaS, and DaaS environments while receiving near real-time data replication, as Zerto can achieve an extremely low recovery point objective (RPO) of seconds and recovery time objective (RTO) of minutes.

“The global disaster recovery market is quickly evolving and expanding. Zerto’s channel partners such as RapidScale have a unique opportunity to help their customers overcome inflexible IT infrastructures that are not compatible with disparate technologies because of vendor lock-in,” said Jason Cowie, Global Partner and Channel Sales at Zerto. “Zerto Virtual Replication is purpose-built to work with any virtualized IT and cloud environment to make it fast and easy to achieve optimal levels of production workload mobility, which is enabling our partners to increase their revenue growth and improve service levels.”{ad}

We are very excited to extend our partnership with Zerto as we expand further into this space serving clients of all sizes and industry types,” said RapidScale CTO, William Hiatt. “We feel Zerto is a leader in virtual to virtual replication software, is competitively priced, and stands behind their product with a great support team.”

… Zerto’s BC/DR software, which protects mission critical workloads and applications to improve IT resiliency. Leveraging Zerto Virtual Replication, HOSTING will provide multi-cloud, single-team support on VMWare, Microsoft Hyper-V and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help build, migrate, and manage compliance-mandated environments for their managed services customers

“The new HOSTING DRaaS solution offers customers the flexibility, control and support they need to protect their important applications and data from the ordinary such as human error, to the catastrophic such as natural disasters and even ransomware attacks,” said Darrell Hyde, CTO, HOSTING. “Recognized as one of the largest VMware partners in North America, we replaced Site Recovery Manager with Zerto to increase our customers’ confidence knowing their workloads – no matter the type, size or scope – will be protected and quickly recovered with minimal impact on operations.”{ad}

The HOSTING DRaaS solution provides replication between multiple hypervisor types, self-service capabilities through a secure portal, detailed reporting, non-disruptive testing and point-in-time recovery. Ranked as a top five company on Gartner’s 2015 Cloud-Enabled Managed Hosting Magic Quadrant, the new HOSTING DRaaS offering is powered by Zerto to support migration integration between its own and third-party cloud providers such as Amazon and Azure, thereby reducing engineering development cycles. The improved compliance and service level agreement capabilities helps HOSTING differentiate from large telecommunications providers that do not provide high-end support service.
