Exponential-e named Zerto’s
EMEA Cloud Service Provider
of the year
/////////////////////////////
E
xponential-e, the British cloud and network provider, has
been recognised by Zerto, an award-winning provider of
enterprise IT resilience cloud solutions – as its EMEA Cloud
Service Provider of the year for 2019. The accolade recognises the
companies’ six-year partnership which has enabled it to collectively
build and deliver an industry-leading data recovery and business
continuity service for around 3,000 customers.
Since the partnership began, Exponential-e has become one of only
two platinum partners in EMEA and one of Zerto’s largest CSPs
globally. Together, the companies have extensively collaborated
to create and implement a state-of-the-art capability to protect
critical applications, hosted on their collective cloud platforms and
customer sites.
Built on Exponential-e’s industry leading flat Layer2 VPLS network,
the offering has generated significant revenues for both firms and
contributed to gaining market share in an era where the loss of a
critical application for even minutes, can be devastating for business.
The innovative software ensures that all data held in the cloud is
replicated in near real-time, meaning that any work on critical, virtual
applications can be recovered and up and running within minutes in
the event of a failure, with next to no data loss.
At the heart of Exponential-e’s recognition as Zerto’s CSP of the year
in EMEA were some highly innovative enhancements to this product
offering over the last 12 months. These included the development of a
hybrid cloud integration offering that allows a self-service management

element for customers, a one-to-many backup offering that includes
AWS and Azure cloud infrastructure – this enables automated multi-
cloud allocation and the ability to extend rollbacks for up to 30 days to
restore a point-in-time using continuous data protection.
Exponential-e Managing Director, Mukesh Bavisi, said: “Since working
with Zerto, we have built a cost-effective business continuity offering
that is a credit to the entire team at both Exponential-e and Zerto,
we provide a solution that is absolutely critical to the ongoing success
of so many of our client’s business operations.
“In this day and age, where so many organisations rely on application-
based software to run fundamental programmes, having a robust data
recovery solution that can instantly replicate that software in the case
of an outage is essential. Working with Zerto has enabled us to develop
a solution that is not only highly valued by our clients, but also acts as
a significant driver of revenue for our business.”
“Exponential-e has consistently demonstrated its ability to
provide superior technology services that help customers achieve
IT resilience,” said Jim Ortbals, VP of Worldwide Channel and
Cloud Sales, Zerto. “It has substantially grown its business and
its Platinum Partner status unlocks additional business building
capabilities to continue that success alongside Zerto. Because of
its exemplary contributions helping customers implement cloud
strategies using Zerto, we’re proud to recognise Exponential-e with
this accolade, which solidifies its position as one of our greatest
partners in EMEA.” n
