At vRetreat March 2018 we heard from Zerto regarding their latest release version 6.0. Version 6.0 further increases their functionality as multi-cloud data protection, replication and migration solution.
Below is a whiteboard video that I have recently recorded looking at how the Zerto replication technology works on premises. In the future I will create videos creating the other replication methods.
In this video Barry talks you through a high level architecture overview of Zerto's software defined VM Replication technology

This year the focus was firmly on the software-defined data centre, bringing to the cloud and transforming the workspace.
As ever it was great to hear from VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger and COO Sanjay Poonen
