About HPE Zerto Software

Every business has something lurking in the dark. Ransomware. Downtime. Data loss. None of them send a warning, and none of them wait for a convenient time. By the time you notice, they're already inside.

Three Threats — “The threats become real”

Nothing about this is madeup

Every IT environment has something lurking in the shadows. Here's what's actually haunting yours— and how far it spreads if nothing stops it.

01

THREAT STATUS

ACTIVE

Ransomware

Encrypts files and holds critical systems hostage — spreading faster than most teams can react.

02

THREAT STATUS

ESCALATING

Downtime

Every frozen screen costs revenue and trust. The clock doesn't stop for a recovery plan that isn't ready.

03

THREAT STATUS

CRITICAL

Data Loss

Files, records and history disappear into the void — often before anyone notices they're gone.

Enter HPE Zerto Software

Three threats,
one way out

The monsters don't get the last word. The moment ransomware strikes, HPE Zerto turns the lights back on, pushes the threats back into the dark, and brings your business back — often before anyone outside IT even notices.

The Solution

What keeps the monsters out

HPE Zerto Software replaces manual, hope-based recovery with continuous, orchestrated protection across your entire environment.

01

RANSOMWARE RESILIENCE 

Real-time encryption detection with immutable copies you can always recover from.

02

NEAR-ZERO RPO

Continuous replication captures changes in seconds, not the hours of a nightly backup.

03

NON-DISRUPTIVE TESTING 

Test full failover on an isolated copy — production never feels a thing. 

04

ORCHESTRATED RECOVERY 

One-click, automated failover sequences entire applications — not just single VMs. 

05

MULTI-CLOUD FREEDOM 

Move freely across VMware, Hyper-V, Azure and AWS — no vendor lock-in. 

How it Works

From first alarm
to back-to business

A smooth, tested recovery path — designed for the moment you hope you never need it.

Step 1 · DETECT

Spot the threat early

Continuous monitoring flags anomalous encryption activity in real time, not after the damage is done.

Step 2 · CONTAIN

Isolate before it spreads

Infected systems are quarantined instantly, keeping clean checkpoints untouched.

Step 3 · RECOVER

Roll back in minutes

Restore to a clean point seconds before impact — orchestrated across the whole application, automatically.

Step 4 · RESUME

Back to business

Operations continue with minimal disruption, and the incident becomes a footnote instead of a headline.

IT leader questions

Reasonable doubts, answered

Straight answers for the people who have to defend this decision internally.

What RTO and RPO can we actually expect?

Continuous replication typically delivers RPOs measured in seconds and recovery times in minutes, not the hours or days common with snapshot-based backup.

Does this protect against ransomware specifically?

Yes. HPE Zerto Software pairs real-time encryption detection with immutable, journal-based checkpoints, so you can roll back to the exact second before an attack hit.

Can we test failover without touching production?

Non-disruptive testing spins up an isolated copy of your environment, so you can prove the plan works without any risk to live systems.

Does it work across our mixed environment?

HPE Zerto Software runs across VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, Azure and AWS, plus HPE and HPE Morpheus Software infrastructure — no re-architecture required.
