Case Study: Bankwell achieves near-instant recovery and faster DR testing with Zerto

Bankwell Keeps Confidential Financial Data Protected with Zerto

Bankwell, a commercial bank serving Fairfield and New Haven counties in Connecticut, needed to protect confidential financial data, meet strict and evolving regulatory requirements, and migrate workloads safely. Rising cyberattacks and a manual, time-consuming disaster recovery process left the bank exposed and made compliance and continuity more difficult.

By adopting Zerto, Bankwell automated and strengthened its DR strategy, cutting DR testing time by 85%, achieving an average RPO under 15 seconds and an RTO of about 15 seconds per server, and using built-in analytics to support audits and compliance. Zerto also enabled fast, simple migration to a co-location site for DRaaS, improving resilience while reducing IT effort.
