Zerto

What Zerto does

Zerto is a Boston- and Herzliya-headquartered software company that provides continuous data protection (CDP), disaster recovery, ransomware resilience, and cloud data mobility for enterprise IT environments. The platform is built around a near-synchronous replication engine that captures every production write and stores it in a journal, enabling recovery points separated by only 5-15 seconds and recovery times measured in minutes. Core technical components include journal-based recovery, real-time encryption anomaly detection, orchestration and automation for non-disruptive failover and testing, an analytics layer for SLA monitoring and capacity forecasting, and a Cyber Resilience Vault that creates air-gapped immutable copies in Azure Blobs, Amazon S3, or S3-compatible storage. The platform integrates natively with VMware vSphere, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and over 350 additional cloud providers, and now extends into Kubernetes workloads and SaaS application backup for Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Azure AD, Salesforce, and Google Workspace.

Zerto sells primarily on a subscription-based licensing model priced per virtual machine or capacity, with annual contracts and tiered Standard and Premium support offerings. The company has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise since the 2021 acquisition (announced at approximately $374 million) and is now sold through HPE's enterprise field sales organization and the Zerto Alliance Partner Program of resellers, system integrators, and managed service providers. Customer segments are organized vertically and target financial services, healthcare, legal, manufacturing, public sector, and managed service providers, with named enterprise customers including United Airlines. Zerto operates as a hybrid data protection and mobility platform positioned as a flagship software layer in HPE's Private Cloud and Morpheus offerings, used both for ransomware recovery and for migrating workloads off VMware following Broadcom's acquisition.

Direct peers

• Commvault: Commvault delivers enterprise data protection, backup, and information management across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments. It competes with Zerto across the same enterprise DR buyer and overlaps on continuous data protection and cyber-recovery capabilities.
• Cohesity: Cohesity offers data management and backup with cyber-resilience features for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises. It competes with Zerto for enterprise DR/CDP wallet share, particularly in cyber-recovery and ransomware protection use cases.
• Rubrik: Rubrik provides a cloud-native data security and backup platform with built-in ransomware recovery, compliance, and DR. It targets the same enterprise backup/DR buyer as Zerto and increasingly competes on cyber-resilience narratives.
• Acronis: Acronis combines backup, disaster recovery, and cyber protection (anti-ransomware, endpoint security) in a single platform. It overlaps with Zerto across SMB/mid-market DR and cyber-recovery use cases, particularly via MSP-led distribution.
• Druva: Druva delivers a SaaS-native data protection and DR platform built on AWS. It competes with Zerto for cloud-first DR/backup buyers, especially in mid-market and SaaS-centric segments where Zerto's on-prem-anchored model is less differentiated.
• Veeam Software: Veeam is a leading provider of backup, recovery, and data management for virtual, physical, and cloud workloads. It is Zerto's most direct competitor in VM-centric DR/CDP, and is now also bundled alongside Zerto inside HPE Private Cloud.

Broad incumbents

• Veritas Technologies: Veritas is a long-established enterprise data protection and information management vendor with NetBackup and Alta Data Protection. It overlaps with Zerto across enterprise DR, backup, and cyber-resilience, though Veritas's portfolio is much broader than Zerto's CDP-focused stack.
• Dell Technologies (PowerProtect / Data Domain): Dell's data protection portfolio (PowerProtect, Data Domain, APEX backup services) competes with Zerto in enterprise DR and backup, often bundled with Dell server and storage sales. Dell is a recognized data backup and recovery market player alongside Zerto.
• IBM (Spectrum Protect / Fusion): IBM offers enterprise data protection and cyber-resilience capabilities through Spectrum Protect and related storage software. It competes with Zerto in large-enterprise DR and is identified as a peer in the same $27.63B data backup and recovery market.

Others

• Assured Data Protection: Assured Data Protection is a flagship Zerto-powered managed DR service provider targeting VMware and multi-hypervisor environments. It is not a technology competitor but is a critical channel partner that extends Zerto's reach into mid-market and SMB via DRaaS.
