Zerto, an Israel and US-based disaster recovery service for online data centres, has raised $13m in its series C round from a consortium led by RTP Ventures, a corporate venturing affiliate of Russia-based internet group Ru-Net.
The rest of the consortium was made up of venture capital firms Battery Ventures, Greylock and US Venture Partners. Law firm Foley Hoag advised RTP.
Murat Bicer, managing director of RTP Ventures, will join the Zerto’s board and said: “Zerto recently emerged as a game changer by pioneering the market for BC/DR [business continuity/disaster recovery] solutions in virtualized and cloud environments. After successfully completing numerous milestones, Zerto is the de facto standard for virtualized disaster recovery, and is well positioned to expand its global customer and partner footprint.”
In August 2011, Zerto raised $15m in its B round after initial funding from Battery Ventures and Greylock Partners. The company was founded by Ziv Kedem and Oded Kedem, previous founders of Kashya, which was acquired by data storage company EMC in 2006.
