Same Continuous Data Protection Engine
The same cutting-edge continuous data protection (CDP) technology as in the Zerto standalone solution, is available. Journal-based recovery in Zerto allows MSPs to achieve recovery point objectives (RPOs) of mere seconds and recovery time objectives (RTOs) of just minutes.
This capability ensures near-instant application recovery, which is crucial for minimizing downtime and data loss during disruptions. With Zerto CDP, MSPs can provide their clients with unparalleled data protection and operational resilience.

Supporting Multiple Use Cases
Our versatile platform supports a wide range of use cases, making it an invaluable asset for MSPs:
- DRaaS: Zerto's robust disaster recovery solutions ensure business continuity by enabling rapid recovery from any type of disruption, from natural disasters to system failures.
- Cyber resilience: Zerto CDP allows MSPs to recover data from seconds before a ransomware attack, ensuring minimal data loss and swift restoration to a clean state. An immutable journal provides an additional layer of security, safeguarding against data tampering.
- Multi-cloud mobility: Zerto is a cloud-agnostic solution that supports seamless mobility across multiple cloud environments, including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This flexibility allows MSPs to offer tailored DRaaS solutions that meet the diverse needs of their clients, whether they operate on-premises, in the cloud, or within hybrid environments.
Native Multi-Tenancy
The native multi-tenancy capability in Zerto is designed to simplify the management of multiple clients for MSPs. This feature allows MSPs to:
- Isolate and secure client environments: Each client environment is logically separated, ensuring data privacy and security across different tenants.
- Centralize management: Manage multiple clients from a single interface, streamlining operations and reducing administrative overhead.
Seamless Integration with VMware Cloud Director
Zerto supports VMware Cloud Director, enabling MSPs to efficiently manage and deliver DRaaS within virtualized environments. The integration allows for smooth orchestration of disaster recovery workflows.
Additionally, Zerto offers a plug-in for VMware Cloud Director, facilitating self-service usage for clients. This capability empowers clients to manage their own disaster recovery processes, enhancing customer satisfaction and reducing the operational burden on MSPs.
