Install Cloud Connector Dialog
A Zerto Cloud Connector is a virtual machine installed on the cloud side, one for each customer organization replication network. The Zerto Cloud Connector routes traffic between the customer network and the cloud replication network, in a secure manner without requiring the cloud service provider to go through complex network and routing setups, ensuring complete separation between the customer network and the cloud service provider network. The Zerto Cloud Connector has two Ethernet interfaces, one to the customer’s network and one to the cloud service provider's network. Within the cloud connector a bidirectional connection is created between the customer and cloud 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 cloud service provider network.
