According to Zerto the rapid growth of the company, driven primarily by success in Australia and New Zealand, underpins its ambitious expansion strategy for the ANZ region and Japan.

Andrew Martin, director Asia Pacific and Japan, Zerto said continued growth has led to the appointment of five new staff in Australia and New Zealand to support customers in the local market, with more to join the team in the next four months.

Martin said Zerto plans to have a headcount of 25 across Asia Pacific by June.

In line with sales growth, Martin said Zerto has also expanded its local channel, signing 50 new partners and cloud service providers in the region adding to the already successful relationships with VMTech, Datacom and Thomas Dureya.

“Zerto has enjoyed tremendous growth in Australia and New Zealand over the past 12 months which has really pushed our success across the whole region.

“We’ve built an exceptional team of some of the most talented people in the market and are partnering with leading cloud service providers and resellers, and this is just the beginning.

“We’re working with organisations of all sizes that are turning to the cloud to help them manage their ever-changing IT needs and stay flexible and agile in fast-moving business environments.

“We’re enabling companies to accomplish goals in their cloud strategy that have not been possible before. We do this through software that makes it easy for organisations to move their applications, workloads and data between locations, including to and from public cloud or specialist cloud providers.”

IT services company Datacom uses Zerto implementations in a variety of its solutions across Australia and New Zealand.

“As well as offering a robust disaster recovery as a service tool, Zerto has been a key part of our cloud transition and migration solutions,” said Glenn Scown, director, Datacom Systems Australia.

“Zerto remains a part of our national infrastructure as a service solution, and has helped Datacom continue to lead the market in innovative cloud-first, service based, and customer focused solutions across the Australian and New Zealand markets.”

The latest growth figures follow the announcement in January that Zerto secured a US$50 million Series E financing led by IVP, which brings the company’s total financing to over US$110 million.
