About Zerto Virtual Replication
You can see details about the version of Zerto Virtual Replication being run and specify whether the version can be automatically updated when new VMware vSphere versions are released, without the need to upgrade to a later version of Zerto Virtual Replication. This functionality is the Zerto CALLHOME feature. You can also enable or disable the Zerto Virtual Manager to send data to the SaaS platform for monitoring purposes.
In the About window, you can do the following:
■ View the version of Zerto Virtual Replication being run.
■ Enable or disable the Zerto CALLHOME feature. The Zerto CALLHOME feature enables support notification and analytics for the following purposes:
