Zerto, the industry’s first
hypervisor-based replication solution provider, today announced that
University of Louisville Physicians has chosen Zerto Virtual Replication
(ZVR) for disaster recovery to support its mission critical
applications. UofL Physicians comprises more than 500 members of the
University of Louisville School of Medicine faculty who treat patients
throughout Kentucky and southern Indiana and in hospitals all across the
region.
UofL Physicians implemented ZVR to protect applications
that are crucial for patient care, including AllScripts – Electronic
Health Records, GE Healthcare’s Centricity, and the Impact document
imaging solution. ZVR was chosen due to its ability to deliver the
necessary service levels without requiring any changes to UofL
Physicians’ environment or operations. When implemented, the service was
up and running in less than two hours, protecting several mission
critical applications with just under 16 TB of data, and delivering an
RPO of less than 10 seconds and an RTO of less than five minutes.
“We
previously tried two other top-tier replication solutions, but neither
provided the performance that we require for our virtual environment,”
said Robert Patterson, Systems Administrator, UofL Physicians. “The
hypervisor-based ZVR solution was a perfect fit, providing very low RPO
and RTO while successfully leveraging the flexibility and agility
offered by the VMware environment.”
Zerto offers a virtual-aware
business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) solution, which
replicates data within the virtual infrastructure instead of in physical
storage. By moving replication to the hypervisor, companies extend the
benefits of virtualization, including flexibility, mobility and
scalability to their disaster recovery solutions. Zerto’s
hypervisor-based replication combines the enterprise-class features of
physical replication with the flexibility, ease- of-management and
control, and scalability of virtual environments.
“We consider it a
privilege to facilitate the work of a group that does as much public
good as University of Louisville Physicians,” said Ziv Kedem, CEO,
Zerto, Inc. “UofL Physicians can rest assured that Zerto Virtual
Replication will protect all of its mission critical applications while
its members focus on providing superior patient care.”
Zerto
worked with SIS, a solutions provider helping clients design, optimize
and support mission-critical assets, on this project.
