Zerto Announces Microsoft as Global Sponsor of ZertoCON 2018

Sponsorship follows announcement of worldwide cross-selling agreement and strengthens collaboration at IT Resilience conference

BOSTON– May 17, 2018 – Zerto, an industry leader for IT resilience, today announced Microsoft as a global sponsor of its third-annual flagship conference ZertoCON, taking place in Boston, May 21-23, 2018. The international sponsorship signifies the continued growing collaboration between Microsoft and Zerto on the journey to provide IT resilience to companies worldwide.

As the global sponsor of Zerto’s annual conference, Microsoft will offer an exclusive ‘Zerto Azure Specialist’ certification, available only at the event, and participate in two speaking sessions:

• ‘Azure Part 1: Navigating the Journey to the Cloud with Microsoft Azure’
• ‘Microsoft Azure Storage: Past, Present and Future’

The news follows the recent announcement of the cross-selling agreement between Zerto and Microsoft in order to align sales initiatives for enterprise customers. Large-scale organizations can achieve significant savings with Zerto’s IT Resilience Platform™ through bi-directional replication to and from Azure, eliminating redundant recovery data centres and hardware by automating full environment recovery.

“ZertoCON is the biggest date in the calendar when it comes to educating partners and customers on ways to deliver beyond an always-on IT experience to a resilient strategy for both planned and unplanned disruptions,” commented Ziv Kedem, co-founder and CEO at Zerto. “The market is always evolving, and this year, we look forward to collaborating with Microsoft at the event to further enhance awareness of the modern-day requirement for large enterprises to possess truly robust and resilient IT solutions.”

“Zerto is committed to providing innovative solutions for those looking to optimize their cloud strategy – whether as part of the enterprise, or through our channel partners. Microsoft is an integral part of that,” added Peter Kerr, director of Global Alliances at Zerto. “This latest agreement with Microsoft to incentivize our joint sales teams means that customers will be able to reap the benefits of a superior level of IT resilience through both Azure and our own solution.”
