Zerto
Protect your critical data with Zerto
Zerto, managed by OVHcloud, is an option aimed at companies looking to protect their Managed VMware vSphere environment from data loss or service interruptions.
Easier implementation
Enjoy full access to the Zerto Virtual Manager (ZVM) via existing OVHcloud vSphere accounts. Using the Zerto ZVM API, you can improve your disaster recovery plan (DRP) after an incident. With the RESTful API, you can automate the many tasks that are required for managing recovery after an incident, without having to use the Zerto user interface.
Continuous syncing
Virtual machines are copied at an average speed of 90 MB/s*. The OVHcloud network is 10 times faster than what is standard on the market, which means your data can be copied in almost real time.
*Average speed recorded over one week of syncing between our Roubaix and Strasbourg datacentres. This information is not contractual.
Secure data transfer
Your data is synced via the private fibre-optic network between OVHcloud datacentres. Your data is transferred between remote sites via a VPN, so all data transfers are secure.

Protect your critical data with the Zerto platform
Zerto
Our solution offers protection against service interruptions or data loss, whether you have an on-premises infrastructure or a VMware cluster on OVHcloud hosted in one of our datacentres.
Use case
- Secure your data: applications hosted on a primary site are migrated to the secondary recovery site, changing their location as a result.
- Simplify data replication: copy data from one or more on-premises virtual machines to a VMware OVHcloud cluster in a different location.
- Migrate easily to OVHcloud: replicate data from one or more on-premises virtual machines to a VMware OVHcloud cluster.
Quickly configure Zerto on your OVHcloud cluster
You can set up your Zerto solution in just a few steps. First, deploy your secondary VMware on OVHcloud cluster in a different datacentre to your main one. Next, enable the DRP solution for the virtual machines concerned, via your Zerto Virtual Manager secure interface. In one click, migrate your data to the new infrastructure. It is now protected and available in your secondary infrastructure.
Best practices for your disaster recovery plan
When you set up your monitoring solution, it must be independent from the infrastructure it is monitoring, and alerts should be sent via a minimum of two contact channels (e.g. email and SMS).
To organise a disaster recovery plan in your company, a structured procedure should be established. It should detail the actions to take, the employees who are familiar with the procedure should be identified, and an escalation system should be established to optimise the way in which incidents are managed. We recommend carrying out a migration test once a month.
Optimised Recovery Point Objectives and Recovery Time Objectives
With Zerto and continuous high-bandwidth syncing, the risk of data loss before the switch is absolutely minimal. The recovery time objective (RTO) is optimised before the virtual machines are automatically switched onto the backup infrastructure.
