Case Study: Leupold & Stevens achieves seconds‑level RPO and simplified Oracle protection with Zerto Virtual Replication

Leupold & Stevens Protects Oracle with Zerto

Leupold & Stevens, a 100‑year‑old optics manufacturer, needed to protect mission‑critical applications — including a 4 TB Oracle database, Microsoft SQL Server and CAD — while keeping a small IT team agile. Traditional array‑based replication with VMware SRM proved overly complex and lacked robust testing and incremental rollback, and the company required strict write‑order fidelity and replication between Dallas and Beaverton to avoid production downtime.

They deployed Zerto Virtual Replication, which delivered continuous replication with consistency groups, an RPO of seconds (reported as 9 seconds) and RTOs of minutes, plus one‑click testing and failover. The solution integrated with vCenter, was quick to set up, reduced operational burden on the small team, met SLAs for Oracle and other critical apps, and ensured uninterrupted product development and manufacturing productivity.
