Case Study: Leading Chemical Corporation achieves hours-long DR testing and $1M five-year cost savings with Zerto

Leading Chemical Corporation Finds Chemistry Between Azure and Zerto for IT Resilience

A long‑tenured global specialty chemicals company sought to streamline IT operations, reduce its data center footprint, and find a more efficient disaster recovery (DR) approach than maintaining a second physical site. Already using Microsoft Office 365, the team chose Azure for cloud DR and selected Zerto’s IT Resilience Platform to replicate on‑premises production workloads to the cloud.

Using Zerto with Azure, the company now protects about 150 VMs (including SQL, Oracle, JD Edwards and other apps) and runs annual DR tests. The solution cut DR test times from days to hours, reduced daily maintenance and man‑hours with a “set and forget” replication model, enabled flexible right‑sizing of compute during tests, and yielded an estimated $1 million in savings over five years.
