Meeting an Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of just 15 seconds requires a technology that goes beyond traditional snapshot-based backups. HPE Zerto utilizes Continuous Data Protection (CDP) to achieve this. Unlike scheduled backups, CDP captures every write as it happens in real-time, sending it to a journal. This allows for " granularity of seconds, " enabling the customer to restore their database to a point in time immediately preceding the ransomware infection, thus meeting the 15-second RPO. For the Recovery Time Objective (RTO), Zerto’s orchestration and automation capabilities allow for the rapid " spinning up " of virtualized workloads at the recovery site, typically within minutes, easily fitting the 15-minute RTO requirement. Traditional backup solutions like Commvault or StoreOnce Catalyst are excellent for long-term retention but generally cannot provide the near-zero RPO required for mission-critical databases under this specific SLA.
