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."
