Dear readers. We still have to deal with the pandemic situation. We're still facing this horrible Covid-19, but slowly the things are starting to get better, with scientific progress and vaccination. Again this year, ZertoCON 2021 will be only an online event. (as you know, VMworld 2021, and many other IT events too). I really hope that this is the last year of online events and we resume physical events soon because I simply miss it.
In the meantime, ZertoCON 2021 has a lot to offer to learn about Zerto's data protection solution. I registered and I saw that the agenda is packed with sessions. If you're a techie guy like me, you'll most likely prefer to watch technical sessions, but there is something for everyone.

Not all the sessions are online yet. There are still some in the works, but from what I have seen, there is quite a lot to put on your agenda. Once you register, you can add sessions you like to attend to your agenda. You can also download the agenda as a PDF.
Zerto 9 is in the works -:)…. I saw one of the session's title.
Another interesting session is certainly the one entitled Zerto's Hidden DR Gem Revealed where you'll find out about top five out of the box ways to leverage Zerto’s failover tests to provide daily value back to your company. You’ll see exactly how to expand your usage of Zerto to capitalize on a failover test’s unique ability to provide copies of production that are only seconds behind the real thing.
Example of screenshots of some sessions from the agenda, that you can find after registration…
