“Zerto customers are now able to schedule LTR policies against an NFS or SMB target in AWS Storage File Gateway. This will manage the placement and retrieval of Zerto LTR jobs,” said Rob Strechay, senior vice president of product at Zerto. “This is a significant move for Zerto and the momentum we’ve seen over the past few years as we’ve converged DR and backup. Initial certification will be on Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and is further evidence of our commitment to AWS and cloud.”
