Jefferson National Protects Crucial Production Applications With Zerto
BOSTON, MA, Nov 07, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Zerto, the industry's first hypervisor-based replication solution
provider, today announced that Jefferson National has chosen Zerto
Virtual Replication (ZVR) to provide disaster recovery services for
its internal file server and production applications. Jefferson
National is an innovative financial services firm that provides
tax-deferred investing solutions to a network of more than 2,000
registered investment advisors (RIAs) and fee-based advisors
nationwide, helping them serve their clients to build wealth and
achieve their financial goals.
Jefferson National implemented ZVR to protect a new datacenter that
was recently opened for redundancy and failover purposes. The company
is currently protecting a variety of mission-critical production
applications including SQL servers, web servers, Exchange and its
online variable annuity product, a unique tax-deferred investing
solution that allows advisors and their clients to manage and trade
between more than 380 different underlying funds, including stock
funds, bond funds, commodity funds, ETF portfolios and more. By
replacing its previous replication technology with Zerto, Jefferson
National achieved a recovery point objective (RPO) near zero and
reduced its recovery time objective (RTO) from four hours down to
minutes.
"Zerto's replication solution is incredibly simple to set up, use and
manage. We recently did a disaster recovery test to fail over
production to our Atlanta data center. With just a few clicks, and in
less than 30 minutes, we had all of our production applications back
up," said Jeff Chandler, VP of Technology Operations, Jefferson
National. "Zerto's hypervisor-based replication solution eliminates
risk. Furthermore, support has been outstanding, and it delivers on
the RPO/RTOs that our company requires."
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.
"As with all our customers, our goal is to provide Jefferson National
with the most powerful yet user-friendly BC/DR solution available for
the enterprise," said Ziv Kedem, CEO, Zerto, Inc. "We know that every
second counts in the financial services industry, and specifically
designed ZVR to eliminate lengthy outages of the sort that previously
threatened not only Jefferson National but also its network of
advisors and their clients."
