Displays the ZORG Zerto Cloud Connector details.

In a DRaaS configuration, the organization networks for disaster recovery are extended to the cloud. The Zerto Cloud Connectors are installed to ensure that these networks have no touch points with the cloud infrastructure network, providing complete network separation between each organization network and the Managed Service Provider infrastructure network. All the traffic to and from the organization is routed through the cloud connector, so that the following is implemented:

A Zerto Cloud Connector is a virtual machine installed on the cloud side, one for each customer organization replication network. The Zerto Cloud Connector requires both cloud-facing and customer-facing static IP addresses. Also, for the cloud connector, the IP ranges used for the organization network and Managed Service Provider infrastructure network cannot be the same. The cloud connector requires the following:

The Zerto Cloud Connector routes traffic between the customer network and the cloud replication network, in a secure manner ensuring complete separation between the customer network and the Managed Service Provider network. The Zerto Cloud Connector has two Ethernet interfaces, one to the customer’s network and one to the Managed Service Provider's network. Within the cloud connector a bidirectional connection is created between the customer and Managed Service Provider networks. Thus, all network traffic passes through the Zerto Cloud Connector, where the incoming traffic on the customer network is automatically configured to IP addresses of the Managed Service Provider network.

If the Managed Service Provider wants to institute additional security, considering both Zerto Cloud Connector interfaces as part of the organization network, he can define a static route that will hop to a different cloud network, specifically for use by the Zerto Virtual Manager and VRAs in the cloud site. If you change the Zerto Virtual Manager and VRAs cloud network, changing the static route settings for a group to the new network, changes the access for all Zerto Cloud Connectors with the specified group.

Static routes are defined in the Add Static Route Dialog.

Zerto Cloud Connectors are defined per organization with one Zerto Cloud Connector defined for each organization site. Each Zerto Cloud Connector requires two ports for each VRA (one port for VRA port 4007 and one port for port 4008) accessed via the Zerto Cloud Connector. There is directionality to these ports.
