Online Tech, a leader in secure, compliant cloud-based IT services, announced it has expanded its partnership with Zerto, an industry leader in IT resilience, after two years of success. Based on their strong partnership and collaboration on several technology initiatives, including developing and launching Online Tech's Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) product, Zerto has recognized Online Tech as a gold-level partner and strategic ally in amplifying and growing their key markets.

DRaaS was developed after Online Tech and Zerto realized that many organizations struggled to meet their RPO and RTO requirements and couldn't easily test their recovery environment. As a result, they suffered from hours of downtime that hurt operations and drastically affected revenue streams. Using Zerto's world-renowned data virtualization and replication platform, DRaaS helps organizations meet their unique RPO and RTOs and recover from disasters in just minutes. Clients can easily test their environments using Online Tech's portal, and the system keeps track of all tests performed and reminds customers when it's time to test again.

As the companies move forward, they are excited to continue their collaboration and deliver secure, compliant and highly available disaster recovery solutions.

"Online Tech is committed to growing our relationships with our trusted partners and allies," said Jason Duchnowski, director of channel sales at Online Tech. "We know that organizations across the country are seeking simple, affordable disaster recovery options, and I'm delighted to work with Zerto to deliver these solutions to enterprise customers in a manner that is both secure and highly available."

"We are excited to partner with Online Tech to provide high-caliber Disaster Recovery as a Service to their extensive customer base," said Stephen Carbonara, Acting VP, Global Cloud Sales at Zerto. "The partner ecosystem is a critical part of Zerto's go-to-market strategy, and we look forward to continuing to help partners like Online Tech build out and refine their disaster recovery offerings to maximize business potential."

With the expanded partnership, Online Tech continues to demonstrate its expertise as a secure, compliant disaster recovery provider to enterprise markets across the U.S. To celebrate, Online Tech and Zerto have teamed up to host several events, including a successful IT networking event in Indianapolis in September. To celebrate National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Online Tech and Zerto are teaming up on Oct. 26 to host educational breakfast and cocktail hour receptions in Troy and Northville, Mich., about building secure, highly resilient disaster recovery environments.
