Kaminario, the leading all-flash storage company, today announced a partnership with Zerto,
the standard for disaster recovery (DR) in virtualized and cloud
environments, which provides enterprises with highly available flash
storage for virtual environments. The combined solution of Kaminario K2
all-flash storage system and Zerto's hypervisor-based virtual
replication software helps enterprise customers maximize the efficiency
of their IT environments and make mission-critical data highly available
to end users.
Today's enterprises are facing a perfect storm of data center
trends. All-flash storage is becoming a standard in enterprise data
centers for mission-critical servers and applications that have high
performance and availability requirements. Additionally, many companies
are choosing to deploy it in legacy storage environments, displacing or
complementing traditional hard disk drive arrays. Meanwhile,
virtualization technologies are pervasive for essential applications and
databases. High availability, including replication between primary and
DR sites, becomes a challenge in these complex virtual environments.
The joint Kaminario and Zerto solution solves this common and highly
problematic IT data storage and DR challenge by automating processes so
applications and data are immediately available to end-users, maximizing
productivity and business opportunities.
"The partnership between Zerto and Kaminario helps alleviate
some of IT's top concerns related to service disruption, such as loss of
employee productivity, revenue and business opportunities," said Eyal
David, VP of business development at Kaminario. "Further, this joint
solution allows IT organizations to deploy flash storage seamlessly into
legacy environments, a huge pain point as organizations work to figure
out how to integrate new systems into their existing IT infrastructure.
Our customers around the world will benefit from the high availability
for business-critical applications and data in virtual environments made
possible by this partnership."
Through this partnership, Kaminario and Zerto are addressing
these challenges. Zerto Virtual Replication operates at the hypervisor
layer to enable the replication of virtual environments across
heterogeneous storage. The combination of Kaminario K2's cost-efficient
all-flash storage system with Zerto's hypervisor-based software enables
enterprises to deploy flash storage in primary or in multiple data
centers, and leverage legacy storage for business continuity or disaster
recovery purposes in secondary sites. Organizations are able to
automate processes to applications and data is immediately available to
end users, as well as reduce DR complexity and hardware costs while
protecting virtualized applications, servers, and databases. The joint
solution enables customers to slash their RPOs to seconds and RTOs to
minutes.
"Modern day enterprises have come to expect high levels of
performance, efficiency and data availability that were unattainable
just a few years ago," said Jennifer Gill, director of product marketing
at Zerto. "The combined technologies of Kaminario and Zerto meet and
exceed the most demanding requirements and provide consistently high
application performance and data availability in heterogeneous
environments."
