Zerto,
an award-winning provider of enterprise IT resilience cloud solutions,
and Proact today announced an expansion of their partnership to include
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) underpinned by Zerto Virtual Replication
(ZVR). This DRaaS offering will also be available as part of Proact's
expansion into the US market. Combining Proact's guaranteed high service
levels with Zerto's proven heterogeneous data and application
protection and mobility technology will provide organisations with the
capabilities to embrace cloud infrastructure with confidence.
After great initial
success transforming customers' environments with ZVR, Proact is now
implementing the enterprise-class technology as part of its DRaaS
offering. By using ZVR to support its DRaaS offering, Proact can build
upon its knowledge and first-hand experience with the technology to
offer a highly available, high performance platform that protects
critical data and applications.
The expanded partnership
between Proact and Zerto demonstrates how channel providers are evolving
their business to help customers implement cloud strategies, as well as
signifying a push in the channel to deliver hybrid models.
"We have had a lot of
success reselling ZVR, so it was a logical next step to use the same
technology to power our DRaaS offering. Zerto understands exactly how
cloud service providers operate, and the tools and training available
through the ZAP Program made it easy for us to quickly ramp and build
our DRaaS business," said Jakob Høholdt, Vice President of Proact IT
Group. "Zerto enables us to offer functionality, customization and value
to our customers no matter how they decide to implement their disaster
recovery plan, or where their applications and data reside."
"Proact has established
themselves as a trusted partner to many organizations and it has been a
great experience working side by side to create this DRaaS offering,"
said Peter Godden,
VP of EMEA at Zerto. "Our commitment to strengthening existing
partnerships allows us to work closely with partners like Proact to
offer IT resilience to customers in a highly effective manner - as a
product or as a service - to meet their goals and ensure they experience
uninterrupted business."
