Zerto Essentials Lab

Zerto Virtual Replication provides simple business continuity and disaster recovery for VMware virtual machines using a VMware vCenter Server embedded graphical interface. During this lab, we will provide an overview of the Zerto product, including how to manage and protect virtual machines using protection groups and explore the RPO/RTO of recovery using Zerto's replication features.

The intent of this lab is to familiarize the user with the features and functions and basic configuration of the Zerto software. Once a user is signed on to the Zerto GUI, they can navigate to the various functions of the software. At the end of the lab, a user should be able to create a Virtual Protection Group by selecting the vm's from the vCenter that is part of the environment. The user should be able to complete a test/live failover of any virtual protection group that they created.
