Case Study: Health Insurance Fund (HIF) achieves robust, low-cost disaster recovery with Zerto (Zettagrid SecondSite)

Effective Disaster Recovery for Health Insurance Fund of Australia with Zettagrid SecondSite

The Health Insurance Fund (HIF) of Australia is a Perth‑based not‑for‑profit insurer serving over 120,000 members. With a very small IT team and limited budget, HIF needed a simple, low‑cost disaster recovery solution that met strict security and availability requirements; traditional options like a second datacentre or VMware SRM were too complex and expensive to manage.

HIF adopted Zettagrid SecondSite powered by Zerto, a fully managed DRaaS that delivers aggressive RPOs (average ~4 seconds) without a dedicated secondary site. The solution installed quickly, converted large capital expenditure into a predictable monthly cost, supported compliance, kept services available for staff and members, and freed the IT team to focus on innovation rather than maintenance.
