Zerto
Protect your critical data with Zerto
Zerto, managed by OVHcloud, is the ideal solution for businesses looking to protect their Managed VMware vSphere environment against data loss and service interruptions.
Easier implementation
Enjoy full access to the Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) via your existing OVHcloud vSphere account. Using the Zerto ZVM API, you can refine your disaster recovery plan (DRP) in more detail. Thanks to the RESTful APIs, you can automate disaster recovery management tasks without having to go through the Zerto user interface.
Continuous syncing
Virtual machines are copied at an average speed of 90 MB/s.* Combined with a network up to 10 times faster than market standards, this performance allows for near real-time replication of your data. The solution is based on adaptable VRAs capable of supporting over 400 virtual machines.
*Average speed recorded over one week of syncing between our Roubaix and Strasbourg datacentres. This information is not contractual.
End-to-end data security
Your data is syncronized through the private fibre network between the OVHcloud datacentres. Exchanges between remote sites are secured via VPN. Thanks to support from VMware’s VAIO API, Zerto also protects encrypted virtual machines, so your most sensitive workloads can be replicated and restored without compromising their encryption chain.

Protect your critical data with the Zerto platform
Zerto
Whether you are operating an on-premises infrastructure or a VMware on OVHcloud cluster in one of our datacentres, Zerto helps protect you against service interruptions and data loss.
Use case
- Secure your data: in the event of an incident at your primary site, applications are automatically switched to the secondary recovery site to ensure the continuity of your activities.
- Streamline data replication: copy data from one or more on-premises virtual machines to a VMware OVHcloud cluster in a different location.
- Easy migration to OVHcloud: use Zerto’s continuous replication to transfer your workloads to an OVHcloud VMware cluster and complete your migration with minimal downtime.
OVHcloud Object Storage: the ideal target for your Extended Journal Copy
Control over your bucket
Create your bucket from the OVHcloud console, the API, or Terraform, then connect Zerto to its S3-compatible endpoint. Set a retention period of up to 90 days and maintain control over your data.
Transparent pricing
No ingress, egress, or API call charges. You only pay for the stored capacity, with storage classes suited to your needs (Standard or High Performance, 1-AZ or 3-AZ).
Security and compliance by default
Certified ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, and 27701, OVHcloud Object Storage combines 11-nines data durability with encryption managed by OVHcloud to ensure a high level of security for your Zerto archives.
Native immutability (Object Lock)
Enable Object Lock on your bucket to freeze your data in WORM (Write Once, Read Many) mode, an effective protection against ransomware and malicious deletions that aligns with regulatory requirements.
Quickly configure Zerto on your OVHcloud cluster
You can set up your Zerto solution in just a few steps. First, deploy a secondary VMware on OVHcloud cluster in a datacentre that’s separate from your main infrastructure. Next, enable the DRP solution for the relevant virtual machines, via your Zerto Virtual Manager secure interface. Finally, migrate your data to the new infrastructure in one click. Your data is then protected and immediately available on your secondary infrastructure.
Best practices for your disaster recovery plan
For your monitoring solution, we recommend setting up a monitoring system separate from the monitored infrastructure and using at least two different alert channels (e.g. email and SMS).
As part of your disaster recovery plan, it is also essential to formalise a clear procedure, identify responsible parties, and create an escalation mechanism to ensure effective incident management. Finally, we recommend conducting a failover test every month to check that your setup works properly.
Optimised Recovery Point Objectives and Recovery Time Objectives
With Zerto and continuous high-bandwidth syncing, the risk of data loss before a switch is considerably reduced. The recovery time objective (RTO) is also optimised as the virtual machines are automatically switched to the backup infrastructure.
