Case Study: Insight Global cuts costs 40–50% and slashes failover time with Zerto on Microsoft Azure

Insight Global Cuts Costs by 40-50 Percent by Pairing Zerto with Microsoft Azure

Insight Global, a staffing and services firm supporting Fortune 1000 clients, relied on a CRM and related systems for time entry, invoicing and payroll—so high availability was critical. Their legacy disaster-recovery approach (database and storage-array replication plus scheduled code syncs to a West Coast colocation) proved costly, hardware-constrained and fragile, with lengthy failovers (one CRM took four hours) and a planned datacenter migration that demanded minimal downtime.

After a proof of concept, Insight Global adopted Zerto for Azure-based disaster recovery. Zerto’s easy setup and fully automated region-to-region replication delivered low RPOs/RTOs, cut failover time from four hours to four minutes, made failover testing 15–20% faster than Azure Site Recovery, and reduced Azure-to-Azure replication costs by about 40–50% (previously ~$4,500/month).
