Case Study: TaxSlayer achieves simplified, always-on data protection and near-instant recovery with Zerto

TaxSlayer simplifies data protection with Zerto’s consolidated DR and Backup solution

TaxSlayer, a leading online and professional tax and financial services company based in Augusta, GA, needed to ensure “always‑on” availability for its tax processing applications and customer data. Their prior backup approach (nightly Veeam backups) left them with coarse recovery points and slow or impossible file restores, creating operational risk and longer maintenance windows.

TaxSlayer adopted Zerto’s consolidated disaster recovery and backup solution, using continuous data protection and journal checkpoints to achieve second‑level RPOs, a single management pane, and faster troubleshooting. The move let them retire Veeam, realize about 10% cost savings, bring new staff up to speed quickly, reduce data‑center maintenance windows to under 15 minutes (less than a minute of customer impact), and plan cloud backups for added geodiversity.
