Zerto reached a huge milestone in its history by making it into the Gartner MQ for Backup and Recovery for the first time. in my opinion this is a huge step as Zerto has its roots in the Disaster Recovery Sector. I believe this is even more significant as the MQ placement was evaluated before some key announcements from Zerto, lets dig into some of these

• Zerto for SaaS Powered by Keepit – Powerful SaaS Backups for Microsoft 365, Google Workspaces, Salesforce and More! all delivered in an easy to use SaaS platform that requires no infrastructure, no additional storage (even public cloud storage) and some amazing recovery workflows 

• Zerto for Kubernetes (Z4K) – the worlds best CDP engine dropped into the worlds best container orchestration platform, in my opinion a match made in heaven. allowing customers to achieve data protection-as-code, so Kubernetes workloads are born protected, and protected every 5 or so seconds with the same granularity that Zerto customers have come to expect from Zerto’s CDP engine for VM’s

• Zerto 9 – In my opinion one of the biggest releases in Zerto’s history. Loads of new features & functionality including but no limited to:

• Immutability for backups
• File level recovery from LTR repositories
• Instant VM restore into production 
• S3 compatible repositories now supported 
• Cloud storage automated tiering 
• Automated VM protection

    When we take all of these things into account I truly think that Zerto has a great future disrupting the backup market and making sure CDP is the best protection against things like ransomware.
More to come on the above features in future posts
