2 Interoperability Matrix for All Zerto Versions

This document lists the platforms, their management tools, hosts, and other features supported by the following versions of Zerto.

• Zerto assumes that minor update releases and their patches are supported (for example, vCenter Server 6.7U1a, 6.7U1b or 6.7U1c), if the major update is supported (for example, vCenter Server 6.7U1).

• For support of a specific release, see the Product Version Lifecycle Matrix for the support level of each Zerto release. The information in this document covers the features and versions of 3rd party platforms that were tested by Zerto.

• Zerto will support new platforms, management tools and hosts listed in this document within 90 days of the general availability of a new platform release for the Zerto Virtual Replication releases that are in the General Support Phase. See the Product Version Lifecycle Matrix for more details.

• Operating systems that reach their end-of-life as defined by their vendor will no longer be supported by Zerto.
