Introducing Zerto 10 Secure Virtual Manager Appliance

Zerto 10 is the first version of Zerto that is exclusively available via the new Zerto Secure Virtual Appliance, allowing for simpler installs and upgrades the Zerto Secure Virtual Appliance comes pre-hardened out of the box so all customers can benefit from increased security without pages of hardening guides to worry about. Learn how to migrate from your Legacy Windows ZVM to the new Zerto Virtual Manager appliance (ZVMA) with the newly released migration tool.
The Zerto secure appliance is a new all-in-one virtual manager appliance that simplifies the deployment, management, and support experience for customers. It has moved away from Windows deployment to Linux, making it easier to troubleshoot and manage. The appliance comes pre-hardened for security, including multi-factor authentication and role-based access control. Zerto has also introduced a seamless migration utility that allows for quick and efficient migration of environments. The appliance is currently delivered as a single virtual machine, but there are plans for future deployments with multiple appliances for redundancy. Zerto aims to provide more frequent updates and move towards a more SaaS-like update process. The architecture has shifted from a monolith to a microservices-based approach, with many components running as web-based services. The appliance communicates with HPE GreenLake and Zerto Analytics containers for data transmission. Keycloak is used for authentication and integration capabilities. The Linux operating system and containers are pre-hardened, although specific details regarding the hardening of the Kubernetes cluster are not mentioned.
