Case Study: ABN AMRO Group achieves 97% faster application availability and simplified automated BC/DR with Zerto Virtual Replication

Robust Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery with ABN AMRO

ABN AMRO Clearing, a global securities services provider processing millions of financial transactions annually, needed a scalable, auditable business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) solution after outgrowing a manual process that worked for only 10 VMs. VMware SRM with array‑based replication proved too complex and inefficient—recoveries were done at the LUN level, causing over‑replication, added bandwidth/storage use and inconsistent execution—so the bank sought a simpler, VM‑level, automated solution.

Zerto Virtual Replication was deployed in 90 minutes and provided VM‑aware replication, automated failover/failback and DR testing, and integrated reporting to satisfy audits. The solution delivered RPOs of seconds and RTOs of minutes, reduced time to application availability by 97%, cut recovery from nine hours to about 15 minutes with one operator, and minimized data loss to seconds while eliminating the need for storage reconfiguration.
