Virtacore, a leading cloud services provider specializing in virtual Infrastructure as a Service solutions utilizing VMWare, is pleased to announce that it's now a part of the Cloud Advisory Board organized by one of its key business partners, Zerto.

Zerto sets the gold standard for the protection, recovery and migration of data into cloud-based and virtualized data centers. The company recently formed an advisory board to support innovation in the areas of business continuity and disaster recovery. The board's thought leadership should benefit the entire global ecosystem of enterprise users, cloud service providers and value-added resellers.

Members of Zerto's advisory board include companies from across a wide swath of the business world. They include industry leaders in chemicals, education, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, technology and telecommunications. The select group also includes vendors from Gartner's 2015 DisasterRecovery as a Service "Magic Quadrant" - small organizations with less than 100 employees who were among the early adopters of DRaaS.

The partnership between Virtacore and Zerto dates back to October 2014, when Virtacore first joined Zerto's Cloud Disaster Recovery Ecosystem to offer disaster recovery services powered by Zerto's award-winning solution, Zerto Virtual Replication. This partnership has helped Virtacore provide unparalleled cloud DR service to clients of all sizes, all in real time.

George Naspo, CEO of Virtacore, stated that, “The partnership with Zerto has been a good one since the beginning and now being named to their advisory board only strengthens the relationship. All our customers that have added Zerto to their portfolio are extremely pleased with the product and we continue to add new customers monthly.”

Virtacore joined Zerto's Cloud DR ecosystem to demonstrate its commitment to delivering user-friendly DR service at an attractive price. The partnership enabled Virtacore customers to choose from a range of options including DR as a Service, on-premise application protection in the cloud, and In-Cloud DR, which replicates applications in a secondary cloud data center. This advisory board membership should only strengthen the partnership between Virtacore and Zerto.
