Case Study: UK-Based Law Firm achieves seconds-level RPOs and minutes RTOs with Zerto Virtual Replication

UK-based Law Firm meets mission critical RPO and RTO Objectives with Zerto

A top-25 UK business law firm with more than 2,000 staff and 700 lawyers depends on fast, reliable access to case management, SQL databases and other critical applications supported by about 80 VMs. Their snapshot-based, array-dependent replication couldn’t meet aggressive RPO/RTO targets, degraded application performance when snapshots ran, and put granular billing (ten 6‑minute segments per hour) and revenue at risk — losing a single segment per lawyer would amount to significant billable time and cost.

The firm implemented Zerto Virtual Replication, a hypervisor-based continuous replication solution that delivered RPOs measured in seconds and RTOs in minutes with no measurable performance impact. Zerto’s hardware-agnostic, low-bandwidth replication, simple failover testing and 24‑hour journaling preserved application consistency and accurate billing, avoided costly network/storage upgrades, and delivered strong ROI and business continuity confidence.
