    • Journal Sizing Tool help

      I needed some help with estimating journal sizes. I found the tool here: https://www.zerto.com/myzerto/technical-documentation/?search=Journal%20Sizing%20Tools A few questions on this: 1. How current is this, and what version of Zerto does this tool apply to? 2. Is there any supplemental help documentation in relation to this tool? 3. I noticed the zip contains several different version […]

    • Administrator Privilages Not Required

      I’m a new Zerto user and when I’m told a product requires “Administrator” privileges to vCenter I have a problem with that.  This is a big gaping security hole that needs to be plugged.  I did my own product testing and discovered there are only a couple of additional settings from what is listed in the […]

      Hi, Does anyone have experience on protecting VMware Horizon VDI environment with Zerto? Our goal is to protect traditional office servers with Zerto, but current floating VDI machines should also be protected somehow to keep the same user experience as in normal non-dr situation. -heikki

    • Network Address Translation

      For situations where some applications may have hardcoded / absolute IP addresses is it possible to create a scenario with NAT?  The notion would be that a NAT device residing in the target site would front end the replicated machines.  Should an outage occur, then only DNS would need to be changed, but not the […]

    • IP renaming on Linux

      Hi all, I was recently installing ZVR5.0 After installation, I began the advised tests listed in the documentation, but I found an issue when renaming NIC’s IP.

    • Can zerto cause VM performance issues?

      I am being told some of our third party engineers that all of our Virtual Machines are running slower than normal and the possible cause is due to the fact that I just recently installed Zerto. I am not able to replicate their tests and everything looks good on my end. Is it possible for […]

    • How does Ip change occur on start up?

      Zerto has the capability to change IP address of a server within a VPG when it boots up (either in a test or live scenario).  I am wondering how it does this exactly.  What script is it using, what attribute is it changing in the OS, etc? Further to that, is there an interoperability matrix […]

      IHAC that wishes to use Zerto to protect workloads however they also have a requirement to use Netapp Snapmirror to protect the same workloads and utilize snap mirror for long term backup. I am not a storage expert by any means. Is this a supportable workable solution? How would Zerto manage a failover when there […]
