Automated protection: When deployed as a redundant pair,
ztC Edge provides instant protection for your workloads. Data
is automatically replicated across platforms. VMs running on
one platform will automatically restart (High Availability mode)
or resume (Fault Tolerant mode) on the other in the event of
a failure. If ztC Edge detects a networking or disk failure on
one computer, it automatically re-routes traffic or uses data
on the other computer, without any operator intervention.
Platforms can even be deployed across physical distances,
for automated local site recovery.
