ATLANTA, July 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VeriStor Systems, an industry-leader in virtual infrastructure, data storage technology solutions, and cloud services, today announced that it has joined the Zerto Cloud Disaster Recovery Ecosystem (ZCE). As a Zerto partner, VeriStor will add Zerto's award-winning hypervisor-based solution, Zerto Virtual Replication, to the innovative VeriStor Cloud Continuity service. Together, the companies will deliver resilient, cost-effective cloud disaster recovery (DR) services for companies of all sizes seeking the cost-effective data replication and recovery which uniquely supports their virtualized applications.  

"Maintaining RPOs for our customers' data is a key element in how we are measured for the quality and delivery of our Continuity service. Customers depend on us to deliver the confidence that their replicated data is current and accessible in the event of an outage or disaster," said Omar Torres, Director of Cloud Services Architecture & Operations, VeriStor. "With the addition of Zerto Virtual Replication, VeriStor is now able to deliver near-continuous data protection capabilities to our replication services allowing us to achieve RPOs within seconds, instead of minutes or hours. This allows us to meet the most stringent RPO requirements for those customers that demand it."

"We are pleased to partner with VeriStor in the delivery of cloud-based business continuity and recovery solutions that are uniquely virtual-aware," said Ziv Kedem, CEO and co-founder of Zerto. "VeriStor's deep data protection, virtual infrastructure, and cloud expertise make them an ideal solution provider for any organization looking to increase flexibility, optimize asset utilization, and reduce operational and maintenance costs."

Zerto Virtual Replication was built to easily protect virtualized workloads in a fully automated, bi-directional manner with centralized, multi-tenant management of infrastructure for both administrators and customers. Zerto Virtual Replication will be integrated into the innovative VeriStor Cloud Continuity, service which delivers flexible, agile and secure disaster recovery without additional hardware investment or management overhead. The solution is part of VeriStor's complete suite of cloud services which also include Cloud Backup and Cloud Secure Archive. Each perform enterprise-class data protection, on-demand, and are fully-managed and monitored by VeriStor's 24x7 Network Operations Center.
