Case Study: SGS achieves minutes‑level recovery and simplified global BC/DR with Zerto

SGS Protecting Applications and Trust between Companies, Governments and Consumers

SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company with over 70,000 employees and 1,350+ offices, needed to protect its virtualized environment to ensure continuous availability of critical data and applications. SGS Turkey faced growing risk from human error, hardware failure or disasters and found backup‑based replication unreliable; working with long‑time partner EMOBIL, they sought a simple, enterprise‑class BC/DR solution that supported aggressive RPOs/RTOs and easy management across multiple sites.

They implemented Zerto Virtual Replication, gaining multi‑site replication, centralized management, one‑click DR testing and bandwidth‑saving pre‑seeding. Zerto delivered recovery point objectives measured in seconds and recovery times in minutes, halved replication time compared with the previous backup approach, reduced bandwidth and costs, and now protects SQL Server, file servers and other applications across several branch sites and the corporate data center.
